Deception player from the get-go. 1. The fact that we are passed up in every aspect of the game screams that we need a little attention. I as a raid leader myself couldnt justify progressing through endgame content or organized pvp, with a below average dps class with no utility. Not when marauders can damn near self sustain and Ops can do what we do, but with off-heals to help out in clutch situations. I have seen the excuse that since we have a tanking option we shouldnt pull as much damage as pure dps classes. I somewhat agree. However, i dont see Juggs/Guardians or PTs/Vanguards having the same issues with damage in their designated dps trees. Im not saying we should pull the exact same dps as maras or snipers. The 5% window is fair for that being that they are pure dps classes. I do however request that we be at least pulling the same dps as other tanking classes' dps options 2. I wanna state that i love my deception assassin. Its my pride and joy in this game. Normally i laugh at the players in forums with the "L2P" attitude. Its just not the case in this instance. The term i believe used is "Glass cannon without the cannon." I didnt believe this until i actually rolled some alts for fun. Im fine with being squishy and i understand the gameplay and mentallity of the deception spec. However our "Runaway" abilities to go with the gameplay are very lack luster and no where near as available as they should be. Combine that with something like the damage buffs that the snipers/slingers recieved and i believe that will put us on par. We really dont need much, but definitely some adjusting. And thank you for doing this survey BW. I actually feel like we are taking a step in the right direction
