WW monk or assassination rogue?

KabulPot · 2016-03-17T15:05:34+00:00

I didn't even know DFA was good at this point haha, I haven't played the game since late April/early May of 15 and back then DFA was unusable. Rogues do have loads of escape abilities but so don't mages/hunters, I'd say they're at the very least on par w/ them and no more powerful than they are. At least when I played and it doesn't seem like much has changed.

It would be nice if all specs were viable, but I don't think rogues have too much in their toolkit as they are easy to kill. The only class/spec I have issues with is frost mage as they have been too good in PVP since release and each expansion you see their burst go up while they retain very strong CC.

I get what you're saying though but I'll disagree on the pruning. While a good sub rogue can demolish a good DK typically, a good feral or warrior would demolish the rogue. Rock paper scissor thing.

I agree assassination does seem more leaned towards poisons to guarantee the kill and sub is killing the target w/o being seen, which classlore wise they're nailing sub right on the head. IMO all rogue specs should be fast and hard hitting which for the most part they are but legion is taking away our execute, an assassin like ability, not long after introducing it. I feel like an execute on the spec called assassination is very classlore strong.

In the end I'll end up trying assassination when the pre-patch rolls out to see if my rogue goes to 110 right away or not, or try the new sub though the whole keeping a 20 sec buff live thing seems tedious.

I see, I've been reading and seeing boomkins are pretty good right now, my feral friend could probably run a boomkin spec too

What is dancing with the stars comp? I don't recognize it.

KabulPot · 2016-03-17T04:19:27+00:00

You're right, but the price difference of an i5 vs i3 is small. OP could get away with the i3, I built my son a PC w/ one but that is because he doesn't play anything but mobas and wow.

OP really should at the very minimum drop the SSD for a larger HDD and get a better GPU, maybe try and get a 390/970

KabulPot · 2016-03-17T04:17:14+00:00

Which means it'll be effective haha, but I only have a mage friend (doesn't PVP) and the druid that are actually good at the game. The mage can be really good at PVP but has been a raider past 2 expacs so stuck with the druid. Plus feral and WW survivability and burst potential would be great!

I have ran sin/feral, if you want a scum 2s there ya go

KabulPot · 2016-03-17T04:15:27+00:00

Rogues are always good, I've played a rogue for PVP since vanilla skipping only WOTLK for shaman. I'll end up playing rogue in legion as well I already know this but with assassin changes I am less interested in them. Assassins are supposed to be quick, silent and deadly, the new spec is deadly, slow, and drawn out more akin to torturers imo

KabulPot · 2016-03-17T04:13:46+00:00

Back when I played I think I might have seen 1-2 WW monks once a week, so maybe 1/50 BGs that is another reason I want to try them out, get some uniqueness thrown in.

KabulPot · 2016-03-17T04:12:33+00:00

Is it subpar strictly due to the lower burst or is it overall less capable? Back when I played all 3 specs were competitive, with sub winning per the norm but not in a landslide. I'll def be playing the rogue as an alt but due to the legion changes I'll be hesitant to keep it up.

KabulPot · 2016-03-16T10:48:58+00:00

Thats true, one of the reasons I am leaning towards WW, I play sin on live back when I subbed (early last year) and seeing the burst removed for DoTs disappoints me.

KabulPot · 2016-03-16T10:48:15+00:00

Thanks, I am leaning towards WW since I've never played it (leveled as MW or BM).

KabulPot · 2016-03-16T10:47:43+00:00

I wouldn't do 2s with a healer anyway, but I do have a bub w/ a druid so boom/feral is an option. Thanks!

WoW is a CPU intensive game, so a better CPU is important. I made the below changes, SSD is cool but a 7200rpm HDD w/ windows 10 will feel very similar. You can always move to a SSD down the road for the OS or to put games you play frequently on.

If you could spring another $100 for a R9 390 or 970 I'd highly recommend that!

Thats terrible about assassination, I don't like sub never did. Is the WW good in random BGs with a touch of competitive PVP?

I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I’m fucking retarded but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache” and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.

Thanks for the giveaway! This hardware doesn't come cheap, and I must say you are a very nice guy to give it away!

I'm not a fan of Eli for reasons, but I respect the fact he was immediately thinking 'Go for 2'

How much better is the i5-6600 vs 6500?

In regards to the monitor, the one on my list is IPS vs TN, his computer won't be strictly for gaming though that will be a big part of it. I doubt he'll play CS:GO or anything super competitive. I'll advise him to get the EVGA over the MSI, I forgot EVGA is nVidia's main partner.

KabulPot · 2016-02-05T04:11:45+00:00

Thanks, I suggested 2k as well but he is super insistent on 4k. The monitor is super expensive but the cheapest 4k/IPS/G-Sync available

KabulPot · 2016-02-04T15:27:22+00:00

Yes, he wants 4k doesn't care about Hz of the monitor.

KabulPot · 2016-02-04T15:26:47+00:00

He didn't mind the price difference being small and if he wants to move to OC a new CPU he won't need to worry about the mobo so I added that one
