Stealth = no speed decrease. Prowl = 30% decrease? wtf anyone?

[tbm13]

So guys, I have an 85 druid. And I never worried about our prowl speed decrease, til i lvled a rogue and noticed hey, im running faster in stealth then i would be not in stealth? So wtf is this? Shouldn't it be equalized, since it does the exact same thing?

I dont see how stealth and prowl are same thing.

[Sathanis]

Wouldn't that just take away some uniqueness of the class without giving any huge buff at all?

[tbm13]

Tell me the difference?

[Deleted]

All stealthers are equal in stealth speed. UNLESS the rogue is subtelty specced and has the Nightstalker talents put in, then the rogue is 10% faster.

Rogue = masters of stealth and whatnot
Feral = Just a sneaky cat being extra sneaky, and btw... you got a 45%(?) speed increase while not in stealth.

Like druids don't have enough benefits going for them already.

Well, I do believe rogues got the better end on the stealth department and the movement department. Since there sprint is 70% with a minute, I would think a cat could do better then 70% every 3 minutes, unlike a humanoid.

Could you tell me what benefit we get over a rogue?

Leveling a feral right now and already have a 85 rogue.
They are not exactly the same, just very very similar. The main difference is rogue stealth counts as a stance, while the kitty prowl is just a buff during a stance.

I agree it is somewhat dumb that rogues are faster stealthed then visible, but i don't think druids should be the same. Rogues are build around stealth. It's the one mechanic that makes them unique (okay, maybe poisons too) and therefore they should excell at it.
Druids have enough cool stuff that makes them unique already. Also keep in mind that you can do an Ambush like ability every 26 seconds with stampede, even if you're not prowling.

No they are not. Rogues are moving at 100% (without buffs/Nightstalker), Druids prowl at 91% (with Feral Swiftness).

I would say having a 30% movement speed buff while out of stealth is pretty good compared to a 10% movement speed buff while stealthed.

[lolcatabeta]

Oh. wannabe rogues whining about the master of stealth and shadows and all that shit? Funny guy.

"Omg health low, no worries (pops bear + all cds = 200k hp and self healing like a madman)"

[Scottishpaladin]

I'm sorry are you a rogue? nahhh didnt thinkso

It was a change for rogues not druids so why complain

[JeKv]

They're different classes. They should not be exactly the same. Besides, Stealth is a staple of the Rogue class. The same cannot be said for Prowl.

Seriously? You get to play all four aspects of playstyle, you have instant flight form, you can herb / skin in flight form... do I need to go on?

[Tanoria]

Rogues = do most shit from their stealth, druid = do most shit after they unstealth. Plus druids will be amazing after 4.2 anyways.

[Iyotanka]

I don't have enough experience with either rogues or ferals to say from a gameplay/balance perspective...but just in terms of making any sense I think a cat would move faster than a humanoid while trying to be stealthy. >.>

True until last patch, where the movement penalty from Stealth was removed. So.. false.

Rogue Stealth speed is now 100%, while Prowl speed remains 70%. Tbh this is fair imo, for some time, a Cat has been a Rogue, but better, which is quite a joke, when Druids can already perform all roles in the game.

No, they're not.

Play a Druid. Go cat form and Prowl.

Play a Rogue. Stealth.

Stealth is faster.

[Tyrilion]

Have you ever seen a lion Prowl ?? they move so god dam slowly, why should it not be the same in WoW, just be happy its not 10 % of normal speed.
