It's funny, cause last I checked (cata) resto Druids sucked in PvP because they are strong PvE healers and blizzard is afraid to buff and make them op in PvE. It swings both ways.

Congratulations on being incompetent.

the wrecklessness bonus is a 4 piece stalker bonus. You can't get it and get 2 piece survivor.

The assassin set is actually significantly better, since it focuses far more on crit/surge. I wouldn't be surprised if other classes had similar stat shifts. Not that I support the OP in even the slightest.

Their burst will still be better, especially on heavy armor targets.

Guess what else has all of that, and a ton more survivability? A Darkness Assassin. Playing Deception in Huttball is a handicap.

This should actually happen.

Heh, that's what I was thinking. He actually had a pretty good pull from my experience.

Voltaic x2 (induction buff) Wrecklessness Shock Discharge Maul (when exploit weakness procs) Assassinate (<30% health) If you shock without induction, your screwing your energy pool. If you Maul without exploit weakness, your screwing your energy pool. I actually play a rogue in Wow and the difference in difficulty is negligible. In Wow it's about managing combo points and juggling finishers, in TOR it's all about proc watching and proper rotations so your attacks are energy efficient. It's actually a lot harder right now (in TOR) just because we don't have macros or tools like powerauras. Assassins are very unforgiving for using abilities when the proper procs/buffs are not in place. In PvP, my rogue is significantly easier to play because of the all the defensive cooldowns. Assassins survivability sucks in comparison.

A lot of it has to do with how terrible Deception is for Huttball. Empire plays a ton of huttball, Republic not so much. My Deception Assassin in Huttball is an exercise in frustration. In order to really have an impact you are pretty much forced to go tank spec.

Armor makes a pretty huge difference in mitigation. Defense and Absorption not so much.

Deceptions survivability is TERRIBLE. We're hands down the squishiest class in the game.

Yes it does. Once you start playing w/ competent tanks and DPS that are capable of taunting & guarding, you will understand why.

We not particularly strong soloers, but I certainly didn't need to out level the content either. Once you get talos, it's easy-street.
