    That is the one I was interested in too :)

  • MAGICMAGIC Doot Doot Furniture City, Michigan Icrontian

    Wish we would have done those invasions after this.

  • RyderRyder Kalamazoo, Mi Icrontian

    Always next week, just kill lots of 100 level stuff during the week. The more Apexis daily and killing you do at the various zones 100 level areas generates an invasion of your garrison. The Iron Horde comes after you.

  • RyanFodderRyanFodder Detroit, MI Icrontian

    We were so close last night. Should be easy next week.

  • RahnalH102RahnalH102 the Green Devout, Veteran Monster Hunter, Creature Enthusiast New Mexico Icrontian

    They also fixed it so that kills counting towards an invasion accumulate like they should.

    Corrected an issue that was causing progress towards a Garrison invasion to reset each week.

    At least you have a spec over 20k. Every class has a spec that out-damages Warlocks (a pure DPS class).

    These charts will change over time.. and enjoying the class / playing well matters more.

    Dang, rogues.

    Usually hunters and then rogues...ouch

  • TushonTushon I'm scared, Coach Alexandria, VA Icrontian

    Rogue are perfect, need nothing done underpowered, need buffing. Thanks, Blizz! I'm curious to see how those buffs actually translate, because, as an example, Hemorrhage ticks only comprised ~4.25% of my damage done on a recent boss fight, so boosting that by 30% isn't very much. The Backstab boost will be much nicer, because it was ~16.75% of my damage.

    That is a huge buff to Assassination. Wow.

    I should get a little more time in with Sub, but the rotation doesn't feel very fluid to me. That said, Assassination has the easiest rotation in the world right now.
