Assassin AA Exploit Weakness

Exploit weakness, used to be amazing, now it deals around 2-3% on the parse sheet. ( if your incredibly lucky and have it trigger 80% of the time ) which quite frankly, does not happen 80% of the time.

I would like to suggest that the numbers come up similar to the output of the current Gut III on Expert.

Not sure I'm board with this one. First, Caith has said there is only 10-15 hours available for class changes. This AA seems OK to me, given the limited availability for time spent on changes. For me, EW averages around 25-30T per hit, and if you use the ACT trigger you can get consistent hits with it. Your suggestion for the damage to be similar to Gut seems excessive. Gut, for me, hits on average in the 100-150T range, so you're asking for a 5 fold increase to a spell that you cast twice as much? At best, I could see the damage doubled.

Exactly. The damage needs to be doubled. or at least 1.5x for a skill which requires That style of Attention .

You want more damage form assassins? Sheesh man you guys are insanely buffed right now but is still not enough.

Bursting 250T+ Dps is not enough lol

I want skills to be relevant.
Nothing to do with current damage output which could change next week.
I want my AA's to actually mean something not just fluff text.

The main issue with EW is that the increased dmg from the proc gets used up on the 1st cast, and the ability double cast is unaffected. However that's a bug it seems, so likely should be in the bug forum. It's also a predator skill, not a sin one. Not sure if you can post without a subclass though.

If the proc that set the " exposed weakness" was also affected by doublecast it would do what you're going for , but it may have been set up at the time to just do one large hit every so often .

EW has also been that pain ability that we have that is often a filler ability. It has need updating for some time, the AA's were built years ago and were never increased to keep up with our leveling. I still believe that it should be converted to a percent damage and not a damage range to allow for future growth. Remember this is an ability for all predators from solo to top raiders, and for the little guys out there this ability is next to worthless. It should be looked at to have the damage increased.

the skill is broken but there is no need to fix it right now given assassins don't need any help with DPS!

That is a clown statement….you admit something broken but since they finally fixed assassins after 5 expansions we shouldn’t get our skills looked at?…

The point of this thread is to fix what is broken, not deny fixes because other players are just trying to keep certain classes from advancing. In keeping with the meaning of the thread, yes the ability is out of date and needs to be brought up to current damage abilities. This CA is shared with Rangers as well and it needs to be increased. Keep the comments about the performance of a toon in top gear to yourselves, it means nothing to a player just leveling the class or the solo player that would benefit from the boost.

I think it is hilarious the absurdity of the voting system for these. All of the negative votes by non-assassins that have nothing to do with fixing the shared abilities.

My question to Caith is this. When you and your team work on shared AAs, do you distribute the time between the classes ? IF that is the case than i believe most rangers would want the 10-12 hours spent on other issues .
