    Im glad they are moving away from 5+ minute CDs. They are so boring when you can only use them once per fight (on some.)

    So they are hell bent on making Rogues overpowered in 4.3. (Err 5.2, not that you can tell!) I haven't talked to a single person who has played 5.2 PTR and doesnt think rogues going live like that is reasonable. Even the rogues I talk to hate it because it turns their class into an autowin joke. Between the ability to teleport cheapshot the entire other team, or the ability to do 25k dps on cloth from range, it's just a joke.

    Ghostcrawler needs to be taken off PvP balancing if he thinks this is good for the game.

    Its interesting that almost all the buffs where they said not to freak out about classes getting +/-20% damage buffs are getting reverted

    Yeah because mage in pvp cast frostbolt. lol.
  1. atlantez's Avatar
    Yeah, Icy Talon went from 20% to 30% to 25% to 15% o_O

    So in the end instead of a 10% buff, we got a 5% nerf, great.

    What happened to buffing Monks to increase the presence in arena, it's getting to be ridiculously annoying.
    They have not only nerfed monks from before, they made them worse than they currently are in live. Wow, good way to increase presence in arena!
    Yay! Monks, are not-represented enough since there are too few compared to other classes. amazing

    Yeah...glad my warrior is 85. I'll be switching to him for the remainder of this expansion probably. Even though most classes had nerfs, it just seems to me blizz wants people to play unholy more. I was unholy through wrath, but a lot has changed since then...

    My DK is most unhappy, my lock as well, hopefully the previous buffs for warlocks at least will make it live.
