Cataclysm Class Changes - Rogue

[Duckhunt]

Class Changes:



ROGUE

• In PvP, we want to reduce the rogue's dependency on binary cooldowns and "stun-locks," and give them more passive survivability in return. One major change is that we'll put Cheap Shot on the same diminishing return as other stuns. The increase to Armor and Stamina on cloth, leather, and mail gear will help with this goal as well.
  
  
  
• We would like to improve the rogue leveling experience. Positional attacks and DoT-ramping mechanics will be de-emphasized at low levels and then re-introduced at higher levels for group gameplay. We are also providing rogues with a new low-level ability, Recuperate, to convert combo points into a small heal-over-time (HoT).
  
  
  
• Ambush will now work with all weapons, but will have a reduced coefficient when not using a dagger. When opening from Stealth, all rogues will be able to choose from burst damage, DoT abilities, or a stun.

Level 16: Sprint

With Glyph of Sprint you can get a 100% speed sprint at level 19. Thats cool.

 

[Grabco]

doesn't look good for rogues but more survivability is probably a good thing. by my calculations recuperate should heal for about 350ish?

 

[Soldjah]

yeah this looks cool. Tobad about Slice and dice though. and losing garrote sucks, never liked ambush lol
