Nothing to talk about really as Beta talents are still mostly broken. Tried out the Barrage->AB rotation w/ 33% haste and could not pull it off with any consistency, so I'm not really sure how practical the theorycrafting is for that spec.

Messed around as 0/27/41 and dueled Ming a few times, probably went 3-5 or 3-6 or so. Shadow Dance is pretty ridiculous -- basically 5-5.5k on me even in 440 resil. Sprint+Shadow Dance basically is 9 seconds of snare immunity and that chained with CloS is pretty ridiculous.

I was going for kites in all the duels which is probably not wise, against daggers you probably have to toe and toe and just IB the dance. You either tank Cloak or tank Dance it seems.

Deadly Throw is also hitting ridiculously hard. (2.5k crits on me) I assume that's intended...

It's definitely one of those things where, if you can survive cloak and dance, the fight feels pretty simple, but you're generally so far behind at that point that it hardly matters. (It's also weird to be at 40% health about to bandage and get killed 40-0 from an ambush lol)

Water Elemental damage really doesn't scale much, so you're generally forced to do a lot more of the damage than previously.

I'm not sure if the burst Shadow Dance provides is exactly intended or not, but the 3k Barriers feel a lot less significant against ambushes that in mediocre gear at 77 crit (and often) for shy of 6k.

That being said, it reminds me a bit of 60 pvp, and perhaps the better anti rogue dueling specs are specs that don't try to (futilely) outlast. (hi2u 1 shot pom pyro)
