A question to my fellow Serenity/Hatred players:
Has the 7.1.1 changes completely ruined our spec?
Not a rhetorical question.
Is anyone seeing different outcomes?
I have been parsing since I've been able to get on since the update, and after about 30ish parses I have thus far determined that the rotation is completely shot with the 7.1.1 changes.
Not only is the Force usage dramatically heavier, to the point that I have to completely stop casting abilities, but Force Potency no longer recharges at a rate to be used in the rotation.
My observations this far:
- Two Time Trouble tactical is obsolete given the change of 'No Proc' to Saber Strike, and using any other melee attack causes Force OVER usage
- Force Potency no longer recharges with the DOT procs it needs to remain in the rotation as it was in 7.1
- Playing the spec and rotation EXACTLY as it was in 7.1, no changes, the rotation is still not viable as the best-timed range I can get Force Potency to recharge is 15-23 seconds (15 secs with good RNG, 23 secs with bad RNG) - after running roughly 30 parses
Has anyone else done testing on their own since BW didn't put this on test server first?
I can't believe the developers would allow this to go live. My condolences to TK/Lighting, Sawbones/Medicine, PT AP, etc....
But none of those changes completely ruined the rotation the way Shadows and Assassins have been ruined.
