wtf why they can get better enchant than enchanter themselves?

[Varithorn1]

So people actually take this profession.

[OnTheHissay]

Cloak of Shadows: Cooldown increased to 2 minutes. (Elusiveness now reduces this cooldown to 1 minute.)

I suspect this is due to PvP QQs? But all I can see is PvPers still having the oppourtunity to the same CD and PvEers will get punished, which I really can't see why is necessary. We don't deserve this nerf to our PvE survivability.

[Skilgannar]

It's just another example of the balancing problems and all the QQ that implementing arena's caused for rogues - if they buff us to make us top single target DPS in PvE (as it has been stated was Blizzards intent from day one) people cry about our OP'ness killing their ratings in arenas...

The CloS nerf to survivability is one example, and another is all the QQ'ing about the new rogue 'misdirect'like talent in another thread giving a rogue's Arena partner a 15% dps boost for 6 seconds - an ability clearly intended to help PvE threat generation

[Arcalite]

So if mutilate is now from anywhere does it hit differently while not behind a target. do the previous talents that state "behind the target" work only when behind a mob/player or all the time

i love dagger rogue, i played forever, but i think this change just dumbs down the game.
at least it required skill to get behind a target in pvp to muti. a skill that i still havent quite gotton down completely

its not that they are better, its by the amount that they are better. its a ridiculously large portion

[Jidders]

It evens out the cloak enchant that tailors got. Enchanters still have the ability to enchant everything else, crafting professions have legs, and cloak(tailors) and (LW)bracers.

Not to mention they only work on the LW's bracers, you can still enchant everyone elses.

[Starfox]

Druid balance, big overhaul
Even some little bugs


ALSO: Northrend gems got their own icons
Uncut Greens

Cut Greens

Perfect Cut Greens

Uncut Blues

[Carperias]

Yeah,the dmg is pretty low.. i think they'll buff it

[Starfox]

Regarding Warrior changes:
Didn't Trauma and Sudden Death switch places in arms?
Sudden Death is now on the same tear as Endless Rage/Blood Frenzy, and Trauma is with imp. Intercept/Hamstring

[Jidders]

Glyph of Blurred Speed -- You gain the ability to walk on water while your Sprint ability is active.


Ooo, i can see many people getting ganked at Booty Bay and the rogue getting away no problem. Will save on water walking potions.

[Skilgannar]

It's nice they'v put a 'fun' glyph in for rogues now

[BizzaroSephy]

So the talent now adds a straight up 15% crit chance to shield slam or does it only add the 15% when the double BV procs?

lol.. Is Blizz just handing out other classes moves to every other class just tweaked a bit to seem different? I mean.. Hex(Polymorph), the DK water walking, Rogue water walking thing.. DK buffs are just Enhance shamans buffs..

[Starfox]

DK buffs are just Enhance shamans buffs..

Redundancy.
Blizzard does not want players to stay out of raids, not because they are bad player, but just because they have the wrong class/specc.
Every DPS should deal about the same, every DPS brings some buffs/debuffs into the mix. Every class/specc should be appreciated by raids and at the same time non should be mandatory for a raid to work (on a per role basis)

[Nero Duskwind]

WOW just WOW.

It seems like EVERYONE on these boards are just whining simply cause its new. LOOK AT THE FRIGGIN POST! All of the damn rogue changes listed there is insanely amazing, yet you choose to whine over us getting GROUP UTILITY which we've wanted for AGES.

Geez some people...

We got some amazing improvements, some manageable nerfs, and finally a utility skill that seems to have been outlined in the list of changes: Tricks of the Trade. there's more changes to come apparently, but overall, I'm happy with the overall streamlining of the combat tree that they seem to be undertaking, along with the big push for dagger combat again. Moving DW Spec to T1? Moving Vigor to T3 to replace Relentless Strikes? Find Weakness becoming a passive self-buff? Cut to the Chase refreshing on ANY Evis/Envenom? Those are all effin' huge.

[Ordius]

I hope the Water Ele mana return is incorrect, that is pathetic!

But in fact Blizzard is just making it the other way around...

Check the priest Forum f.a. ...

Actually your description of penance is wrong. It still ticks 3 times, the first one is just instant. Which is what Blizzard said they were going to do. So you hit the spell, 1st tick happens instantly, second tick, then 3rd tick of the following two seconds.

I worded it like that because it hits the target then ticks twice. The first wave of healing/damage isn't a "tick" imo. Just part of the initial cast of the spell.
