I'm participating in my guilds T1 raids as a Rogue, I play support bard mostly but when I dps, I do it as Assassin for single target (I've recently learned Blademaster for different fights) as I like to melee, and it seems Trion will reward melee souls with higher dps. I would like to start some discussion about it. Keep in mind, before and if you reply:I guess the reason I'd like some discussion is because I want thoughts on a few things:
- I have read and practiced the Assassin guide on these forums extensively
- I have no issues with rotation, that I know of
- Should that guide be updated in any way?
- Crit power vs. Attack power, determine off-souls?
- How do we keep that 20k+ number past the 1 minute mark?
- Give your thoughts on Poison Malice, and when you use it
The reason for my thread is that I'd like everyones latest experience playing this build in raids, on single target bosses that don't require much disconnect. My recent experience is that I can have fantastic dps during my 3 opportunities for Cloak and Dagger- Starting the fight out of stealth with a Jagged Strike, then Thread of Death / Jagged macro as first Cloak and Dagger begins to time out, then Slip Away macro right before the second Cloak and Dagger falls off. After that, it seems that dps begins to fall considerably until I pop a Poison Malice during a raid boost, or timers are up on either Thread or Slip Away, but I never seem to regain that dps glory that is the first 30 to 45 seconds of the fight.
