I hope Smoke Bomb has a large enough Radius.

[SonsofDisaster]

As a Healer, Cheap Shot with diminishing returns = <3.
On the other hand, Smoke Bomb and Recuperate are interesting enough to make me want to play a Rogue... and Rogue is the ONLY class that I have never had ANY desire to play. So I think these changes look good! ;D

[Nekovivie]

Cheap shot nerfed olololol

[Sparklelord]

Loving the heal!

[shippior]

Wait, so locks got no extra survivability as I've seen so far to get rid of rogues, but rogues got an extra spell (smoke bomb) to get rid of the warlocks.. Yep, this sounds fair to me =S

[Duskmourne]

And, yet again, more pvp abilities.

That is, unless they imagine rogues tanking or smoke bomb being used in pve. :

Bliz really do have a hard-on for Arena this expansion.

[f1li1p]

Kind of disappointed with the new abilities.

qft

Big bucket of fail incomin in (S)cataclysm .....

I made a post about the changes, everything i posted was right but the poison beeing trashed. Very tasty changes.

[Mub]

shit...
I REALLY hope smokebomb doesnt make it live.
it prolly wont
lulz

[ExarKun]

Lots of DotA inspired abilities in Cataclysm it seems...

[Hoggs]

Combat Readiness seems kind of weak.

Usually you blow defensive CDs when you're low on health or when burst is coming, but this ability seems pretty useless for that since it has ramp up time =/

[Orkos]

smoke bomb pull these mobs.


everyone stack!


sickkkkkkkk! bliz said they wanted trash to be more about cc in cata well with smoke bomb we can still aoe them down!

I like this preview. To me it sounds like BLizzard is heading in the right direction - less automatic damage in favour of active abilities.

Also, Smoke Bomb sounds sexy imo! ;D

Health will be much higher compared to the ratio we see today. You will no longer get bursted in a few GCD, and you most probably won't use Combat Readiness as an OHSHIT! ability. At least I don't think so. So rather, you use it when you get focused and start getting damage instead of when you are at 10% HP.

OR,
trash aoes the Raid sittin in the smoke bomb since cant single target

[Skoro]

I wonder if Smoke Bomb will require a reagent like how things like Blind used to, or if the rogue will just magic a bomb out of their top hats.

<-- Kinda wishing smoke bomb was an engineering item instead...

Also, I'd laugh if it was possible to remove the cloud prematurely with Typhoon ;D

[Draegnar]

By the way guys... There isnt anything about Wound Poison changing to 20% , Thats kind of pleasing :3

[WyriHaximus]

Smoke Bomb (level 85): The rogue drops a Smoke Bomb, creating a cloud that interferes with enemy targeting. Enemies who are outside the cloud will find themselves unable to target units inside the cloud with single-target abilities. Enemies can move inside the cloud to attack, or they can use area-of-effect (AoE) abilities at any time to attack opponents in a cloud. In PvP, this will open up new dimensions of tactical positional gameplay, as the ability offers a variety of offensive and defensive uses. In PvE, Smoke Cloud can serve to shield your group from hostile ranged attacks, while also drawing enemies closer without the need to rely on conventional line-of-sight obstructions. Smoke Cloud lasts 10 seconds and has a 3-minute cooldown.

Thats a cool one :O. To bad no real use in PvE :/

No just a stiffy for Pvp.
