Oh, Blizzard

OH SHIT ONLY ASSASSINATION GETS POISONS brace for impact people :O

I’m going to be the only person who likes this but it looks like baseline CD reduction for combat is gone. Big change.

“Backstab- Damage increased by 30% when behind your target.” Haven’t we talked at length about why this is a really bad idea?

Thoughts on rogue class blog incoming. Note I’m reading this while on my way to work so if I miss something point it out. @WarcraftDevs

Outlaw Rogues get a Pistol Shot. All the Hunters will now be over here crying their eyes out.

After reading all the previews, the talent changes need to do work. So much of the current design hinges on talents being well designed.

It’s interesting they led with Assassination. Tradition, maybe, but Sass appears easily least affected by any changes going into Legion.

Honestly I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed by this. Nothing really groundbreaking here, wait for talents but unenthused.
— Fierydemise (@Fierydemise) November 12, 2015
The real question after all the class previews, do you trust Blizzard to get talents right? If you do then no worries, if you don’t…
— Fierydemise (@Fierydemise) November 12, 2015
I know it’s early but looking at the combat changes this is what I was worried about, mechanics are mostly the same just renamed.
— Fierydemise (@Fierydemise) November 12, 2015
Very notable omission from the subtlety section. Where is Find Weakness?
— Fierydemise (@Fierydemise) November 12, 2015
Major concern for assassination, baseline extra 3 energy per second for keeping up garrote. Likely means more spam heavy assassination.

And PvP rogues fun fucked up again. New rogue talents don’t look a blast for PvP.

Worried about forced positional changes on several rotational abilities, potentially problematic when dealing with raid mechanics.
— Fierydemise (@Fierydemise) November 12, 2015
Here’s hoping playing 1 spec and just changing talents is actually viable so I can just ignore the mess that is sub and same ‘ol assass.
— Ninjablaze (@Ninjablaze1) November 12, 2015
I’ve read this Outlaw stuff twice and I still have very little idea from this description how the spec will actually feel to play.
— Rfeann Beoutlawin (@SvelteKumquat) November 12, 2015
My favorite part of this preview, though? The italicized “flavor” descriptions just before the explanations. Really crystallize the intent.
— Rfeann Beoutlawin (@SvelteKumquat) November 12, 2015
If you go back to Wrath and even Cata the rogue class was defined by being resource limited, that no longer seems to be the design.
— Fierydemise (@Fierydemise) November 12, 2015
Still extremely skeptical about passive shadow dance.
— Ninjablaze (@Ninjablaze1) November 12, 2015
Just got home, time for lunch and rogue notes! Read the Assa part and quite disappointed at basically no change other that muti 2-4CP

At the start of legion as assassination a rogue will have 18.3 energy/sec. For comparison in wrath AR only brought combat to ~22 energy/sec.
— Fierydemise (@Fierydemise) November 12, 2015
Whoa, hold up. Outlaw Rogues get a concealed pistol in Legion? Sorry paladin, you’re lame now. Outlaw it is.
— Alex Ziebart (@AlexZiebart) November 12, 2015
Interesting that neither sub or assassination have cooldowns listed. We know KsP is becoming a talent. Cooldowns purely from talents now?
— Fierydemise (@Fierydemise) November 12, 2015
“If blade fails to cut too deeply, the outlaw takes advantage of a concealed pistol” – now that is neat
— Rylix (@Rylix_TV) November 12, 2015
I am glad that @danielwhitcomb and I are in agreement that if Outlaw Rogues get rapiers THEN OUTLAWS WE SHALL BE.
