Patch 2.1.2 preliminary notes

[Legedi]

What I got out of Bolty's post is the problem rogues have always had. They require the use of lots of cooldowns to be effective. But the use of that many cooldowns is not fun for the rogue. They have to use them all effectively to do well. Classes that can avoid them (either a dwarf stone forming out of blind, an orc resisting stuns, or a warrior zerking out of sap/gouge) get a big advantage.

It also isn't very fun for people on the receiving end of all the rogue cooldowns. Even though Quark is a rogue himself, I can't imagine it being very "fun" to get sapped -> blinded -> blinded. And everyone that isn't a rogue gets even more upset. To most people it doesn't matter if it's "ballanced", they want it to be fun. That's where crys of nerf come from. And a common one has always been the "feared from 100-0" "stunned from 100-0". So blizzard has always been nerfing these cases.

What blizzard needs to do is counter ballance these changes. IMO priests have been screwed from the constant nerf to fear, which are mainly from warlock chain fears. Rogues are getting nerfed from the trinket change. These nerfs make PvP more fun for other classes. So something should be done to offset these changes. What they should do, or what they might do, I have not idea. But I can easilly see why these changes where made.
