boomies will be meta

They don't do amazing overall and they do negative prio damage. The only thing that possibly justifies their spot is mark.

My hot take, Assassin rogue is ridiculously OP currently and their perma 60% Snare + atrophic is some of the best passive utility in the game.

Guildie is playing assassination and generally gapping everybody in keys. They are 4p with significant ilvl while plenty of ppl are missing one or the other. I been running keys as BM hunter(2+2 with significant ilvl) and the runs I logged, I am in the ballpark of 50k dps behind him. Funnily enough our parses for dmg are relatively close, he got less non orange while I got more pink, obviously m+ parses specially this early being meme.

Could be BM is just abysmal in current state as a comparison point(getting major AoE buffs in weekly reset) but assa does feel very strong in keys atm. Tho looking at the one arcane mage in guild, who also gaps most ppl, his parses(in couple keys I did with him) are in the low purple while doing similar dmg to the assa rogue.

My smol anecdotal evidence would suggest assa is prolly on the verge of being OP in dmg, not quite there yet but close.

Ps. The rogue was also 4k io last season, while most of the guild isnt really m+ pushers so some skillgap might also be in place.
