Thoughts on the Hemo nerf...Follow

Personally, I'm thinking about going back to combat or ShS.

125% to 110% is really a pretty huge difference in damage.

Thoughts, questions, comments, concerns? Bribes to get my UI v3 out?

if its that bad Ill go back to combat swords. If they bump the white damage bonus that much Ill stay with it.

i was using hemo when it was normal dmg +10 debuff

all the 110% "nerf" would do it make me have my hemo/gs macro back in effect, and i wont mind freeing up a hotkey

dont change a thing for me, still gonna be 7-13-41

I'm sticking with hemo.

No harm if one Rogue in your raid stays Hemo seeing how its a raid wide debuff on the mob, the build as of now reminds me of SV Hunters where they do pretty solid DPS with a nice damage buff for everyone. So I say if you can stay Hemo/ShS then do so, if not then respec back.

Are we talking about patch 2.3.2? The one that's on the PTR right now? If so, is this hemo nerf an unannounced nerfing because according to the release notes here the only change to Hemo is:

Hemorrhage: Rank 4 of this ability no longer has its charges consumed by non-physical attacks and spells.

I see nothing about a damage reduction. The only place I ever saw that mentioned was on the o-boards - while they are hosted by Blizzard they're hardly an official source of information.

Or has someone been on the PTR and seen the debuff? If so I might try a muti/subtle build.

Well, the good thing about it (like I said before) is that if hemo really does get nerfed all it costs you to switch back to combat maces is gold. The weapons are the same, and anyone who goes from a dagger spec to a mace spec will know what I'm talking about.

how much is the MH and OH? 28k or something? hardly free. Especially when you have things like the battlemaster trinkets and gladiator gear to go for.

If it was still old AV where i could get 500 honor for a 10 minute match it would be a lot easier, but i had a hard time getting over 300 out of a 30 min AV win on av weekend.

I think AR/Prep is still going to be rather viable, especially for teams that are DPS heavy. The extra survivability that prep gives seems to outweigh the nerf. If you consider that the rogue is more of a support class in 5v5, it makes more sense to stay hemo. The cheaper main attack equates to fast combo points, equates to more control.

Also, the nerf isn't official yet so the whole argument may be pointless.

yeah....NOT have



Let's see. Six Epic weapons for 2-3 weeks of farming BG's?

Ummm, yeah....that's cheap.

Your crazy.

So where else are you going to get 6 guaranteed epics in 2-3 weeks? And not just 6 weps. We're talking 6 MH/OH weps for rogues.

Please enlighten us.

Edit: MAYBE if your raiding 12 hours a day, but if you are a fresh 70 or a 70 in blues and you are looking for a better set of weapons....well, yeah they are GIVING them away.

Listen to what you're saying.
Listen to what everyone else is saying.
Stop being such a moran.

I think everyone will agree that BGs for epic weapons as a class such as a Rogue is by far the easiest way to pick up 90+dps MH and OH. However, your statement was that they're free, when in fact they still require hours and hours of work. Hours and hours less work than comparable weapons, perhaps, but hours and hours nonetheless. I'm not wasting my time getting S1 daggers and S1 fists for no reason whatsoever.

You obviously don't post in the Asylum, do you, twunt?
