Grappling Hook as baseline ability - BFA

[Nautkicker]

Apparently grappling hook will become a baseline rogue ability in the next expansion. Pretty stoked about this, rogues will remain hated in pvp haha.

Baseline for Outlaw, not all rogues. It was mentioned at one of the Blizzcon panels I think - or maybe it was the post Blizzcon Q&A stream...

[RobertMugabe]

Yeah, baseline for Outlaw confirmed. The CD is 1min tho, but we get a passive talent which reduces the CD to 30 sec.

[Nautkicker]

Ah my bad, I was under the impression it would be for all rogues. This is great that it opens up more options on talents though!

Ah, thank the lords of coin. Was getting scared that one of the main reasons I was Outlaw, was to be shared with the other speccs soon.

Damnit! And here I was hoping I was gonna have my cake and eat it too (Grappling hook & passive movement speed). Bummer.

In my mind, Grappling Hook's just our version of Shadowstep.

When I played the BfA demo at blizzcon, Grappling Hook was baseline for Outlaw only. I can't remember what was in its place since we only had short periods to play.

Instead you get a talent that reduces GH's cd to 30 sec, while baseline is now 1min.

I've never tried outlaw yet tbh (combat for life, down with pirates!), but as long as I can keep Shadow Step on the other 2 specs, I'll live.

I don't use grappling hook b/c it feels awkward to use. I'm leveling as Outlaw in Legion rn on my Rogue alt - it's pretty fun - but he survivability seems less than with old Combat.

So roll the bones will still bein BFA? Well...darn it.

I love it. I know it won't ever be balanced at high end the same way a flat buff like SnD can be, but I love the class fantasy around it. I think the ability hints at the potential for slightly different play and rotational focus based on the different buffs you might randomly generate, and I hope they start to dig into that concept more.

Though I imagine they'll maybe just start adding some of the artifact weapon passives to the weaker buffs, which will once again slightly disappoint me.

Its very useful for raiding. A skilled rogue with a grappling hook can completely negate Varimathras' charge.

Restless blades + Loaded Dice had make RtB far more powerful and consistent than before (in 4 full Antorus runs i never reroll once... and before that i always have to reroll, several times a fight, when i was Outlaw in 7.1)

Loaded Dice is turning into a talent on the final row with Slice and Dice and Marked for Death. It may be a dead talent.

And the pirates say 'bye'
