as a fellow pvp assassin main for many years i agree with you new set bonusses seems totally useless, the only set bonus i liked is the 6 second stun one and even then its so situational like u can only use it as follow up stun as it will give insta whitebar. As for tactical items only liked two charge on phantom stride(revert the gcd changes!!) and the reaping strike auto crit one. Dot on ball lightning i dont know what to say as damage is so low and i dont like the idea of dot on burst and high control spec as it can ruin your own ccs,The aoe on discharge tactical item i would never pick because i play deception as control rather than pressure/aoe style so i would suggest give it something like tank aoes cant break mezzes status so the aoe cant break it own mezzes New ability is like lacerate+force slow merged in one ability, i would have liked it if it was root or something but as %50slow i dont think its that useful. i dont see any defensive tactical item that dps assassins are really desperate for. You shouldve atleast give some option for us to choose either be more agressive or defensive. as so far i can see tactical items more like on the agressive side of the things. And last
BUT WHY?
