Rogue changes, round two
The Rogue class is going to be the target of a vast array of smaller and larger modifications in the LK beta. We saw a set of these changes already, and last night Gamnin came by the forums to post another set. The interesting changes (and there are a lot of them): Cloak of Shadows cooldown down to 1.5 minutes, from 2 (1 in live). Elusiveness will now reduce the cooldown of CloS by 15/30 sec as well as its previous effect. Tricks of the Trade confirmed; they note that "we'll need one type of solution or other to prevent the need for 5 rogue Trick rotations." Assassination: Vigor moved to tier 3. It's long been a sub-par talent, so this is sensible. Relentless Strikes moved to Sublety tier 1, and raised to five ranks (from one) for the same effect (4/8/12/16/20%). Fair, but a little difficult to stomach too. This does somewhat achieve their stated goal of making it more accessible, but quintupling the cost and putting it in my least favorite tree is not what I had in mind. New tier 7 talent that I assume is taking Vigor's place: Overkill: Abilities used while stealthed and for 6 seconds after breaking stealth cost 10 less energy. I'll need to play with this, but it looks pretty great. Master Poisoner has been moved and redesigned. It's now in tier 9 and has three ranks, and instead of increasing chance for poisons to hit, it now increases everyone's crit chance against targets you've poisoned by 1/2/3% and lessens the duration of poisons on you by 17/34/50% [fixed, thanks]. Hunger for Blood's effect increased to 30 sec, from 10.
Blue Notes: Draenei plural, more European migrations, Remorseless hotfix
I think I absorbed this from the race intro voice-over or something, but just like Shaman, the word for more than one draenei is "draenei" (Neth): It should be the same whether singular or plural. Yet more European migrations to delight us all, including one that was scheduled to be closed kept through over the weekend (Thundy): The below migrations will be activated today (Friday). They're scheduled to close on Monday January 29th, at 12:00 (noon) CET. However, again, please note that this may change at any time. Grim Batol to Jaedenar / Boulderfist / Vek'nilash (same as was running during the week) Shadowsong to Bronze Dragonflight / Anachronos Dragonblight to Bronze Dragonflight / Anachronos Quel'Thalas to Bronze Dragonflight / Anachronos Nordrassil to Bronze Dragonflight / Anachronos And finally, it appears that the crit bonus for the Rogue talent Remorseless Attacks was not being applied to Hemorrhage. This was a bug, and has been hotfixed (Ommra): Hello again, I am happy to inform you that a hot fix has been deployed for this :) Critical strike bonus for rogue talent Remorseless Attacks is now correctly applied to Hemorrhage.
