Shadowfang in MoP

Perhaps more important than any potential SF nerf is the probability that rogues in general will be nerfed to the ground. It's not news to anyone, but to recap...

Removed from level 19: Sprint, Gouge, Shadowstep, Backstab

So unless the outlook for 19 rogues changes drastically between now and launch, a nerfed SF would be the LEAST of a rogue's problems...

I'm losing every single one of those abilites?!?!?! NOOOO! owait I'm a feral. I never had those abilities...
 
Only time will tell.
 
ItI think rogues are balanced class in WoW, maybe the dmg reduced by 10-20% but otherwise great at lvl 19, you should not take the mobility of the villains in a good twink BG they are usually the supporter ... like kick gouge and flag return!

agree...skill can't overcome the loss of that many abilities.

open on a hunter, you get scattered, hunter DE's, serpent sting....even a NE crutching SM is a dead rogue. with no SS to get back on hunter, no gouge to gain a combo, more energy, and stall the hunter, no sprint to use after a trinket to clear a conc or SS......really skill of what abilities...re-resing at GY

it's the common sense to sap and hope someone else starts on whatever class you can't gap close on anymore and hope to assist finshing....that's how it was in 19's for rogues in WotLK, but will be even worse now.

paladins with HP's will be on speed dial....they can run in fight a rogue and run out/away on rogue...heal and repeat with impunity. if people tried their rogues after 1st or 2nd patch into WotLK that's what enchance-shams were doing. they had insta GW, non slowing below run speed GW, glyph for a totem that was like a bubble, and earthbind slowing totem. rogues were candy for shamans.

warriors had hamstring, charge with a stun, glyph to increase charge range 5 yards (became 35) btw hunters had 30 yard range at the time, glyph to lock you in place for 5 sec.....rogues were obsolete/gimped in WotLK.

rogues in Wotlk going into CATA lost garrote, expose armor, slice and dice, and lock picking at 19....rebuff was SS, faster stealth, and AMB with any weapon

rogues going into MOP are losing sprint, SS, gouge, backstab, dmg bonus of AMB related to SS.....rebuff is getting slice and dice back, if rogues keep faster stealth...still not gonna make up for sprint loss

i had a level 10 rogue when they moved sprint to 16, that was to much to make up for, even SS couldn't make up for that

it was the second gap closer that made the rogue in WotLK and started some to come back or reroll 19 rogues

i had a level 13 twink hunter in WotLK.....i punked dual SF rogues with ease, after CATA prepatch i couldn't

The skills that are shown on Blizzard official website aren't necessary definitive. Things might change in a near future but at today's date, I think that Shadowfang will infact, be nerfed.

Thing is it's not really going to be nerfed by according to the specializations and the differents stages (lvl 15, 30, etc) it's going to be more viable to play with daggers.

But we'll see.
 
Ummm no? We still have stealth speed in MoP, which we didn't have prior to cata. Which means sap CC'ing and burst will still be there (even though not as much).


Sneaky, it sounds like wishful thinking. MoP is going to cripple 19 rogues. If you don't have another class and still wish to twink, reroll now.
 
I like every post by Curley/Sneaky in this thread. The shitter rogues will be gone, shout out to trilium.

Just going to be boring as she gets for rogues in MoP Deadly poison doesn't get me off. Either way the shit goes down a new twink to the bracket will mix shit up.
 
I hope rogues are not gonna be like just spamming hemo for 500crits and deadly poison ticking for 100s... And half of the bracket along with the new baddies roll rogue and kill the bracket =( Hope I'm scared for no reason.
