if they're going to raise the cd on sprint back to 60 seconds, that'd better be a sign of them giving us step baseline soon

[shalnath]

That's what I'm thinking. Unless they expect to cure our mobility woes through double damage Shuriken Toss and a small energy cost reduction on Burst of Speed, which I honestly wouldn't put past them.

Problem is, they're running out of time to do anything else.

I've pretty much accepted that rogues are the play thing for blizzard to throw around and destroy. So until the dev team gets its head out of its ass I am just going to play a class that I don't cringe while playing.

if it wasn't for my spriest, i would have cancelled my subscription already.

They nerfed subs sanguinary vein, from 20% to 16%. Funny huh?

How are they running out of time to do anything else exactly? This isn't going to be a raid patch, its a storyline patch. They have anytime between now and 5.2's release to fix perceived issues.

[Squirl]

And now I'm sad. Again.

[Bozzy]

step baseline soon

That's never gonna happen, because they would have to repalce step on this tier with a new talent... and there is no talent to copy from another class, fitting for the rogue.

I am also thinking of "Envenom now does Nature damage.". Won't that make Envenom not scale with mastery, basicly making it do less damage than it already does?

[Squirl]

Also, I like how a single target, undispellable, 8s, 1m cd CC (Blind) is not ok while a AoE, undispellable, 8s, 1m cd CC (Intimidating Shout) is perfectly fine and has been forever.

It has always done Nature damage, it's just tooltip clarification. Check combat log in-game if you like.

I did not know this since it says "Instant poison damage" at the moment. My bad.

Tremor totem, fear ward, WotF, Berserker Rage, etc.

its like GC says F**K YOU ROGUES you had your time in CATA and go and F**K YOURSELF you little B*****S god sometimes i want to punch that GC in the face

I meant to get any changes in to give us more mobility before 5.1, which is Tuesday I believe, and I don't expect them to do anything over the weekend.

A lot of us were pretty hopeful to see some fixes this patch, but it looks like we're going to have to wait a little longer.

Only sometimes?

That actually makes a lot more sense. I was surprised by these last minute changes with the patch being so close.

I hope you're right.
