Quote:On the other hand, the QQing from Mages, Warriors, and Rogues in that article's comments are getting pretty unbear(trap)able already; and if the Rogues are complaining, then it's a pretty sure bet that Blizzard will listen to them. Also, Blizzard's own treatment of the class has long been a history of dangling something shiny in front of us before taking that away. I'm just wondering how many of these positive changes will actually make it into live.
The hatred is pretty universal from what I'm reading. And you barely even touched on the changes. How about:
1) Deterrence is now baseline and gives 60% spell resistance in addition to the dodge/parry
2) A new talent adds stun procs to your damage traps
3) Surefooted got buffed (50% snare duration reduction @ 3 talent points)
4) A new talent that gives you 3 free (cooldown and mana) Arcane and Explosive Shots when a target gets trapped
5) A new talent that gives AP to you and your pet from your Stamina
6) Master's Call is now baseline
I didn't even mention BM/Marks talents.
Also, re: Blizzard listening to Rogues. You might wanna check out those awesome Rogue changes again. Hint: there hasn't been any since before the alpha talents were leaked.
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
