No sprint, shadowstep is gonna suck for rogues in these low brackets.

Especially because they are taking mobility away from Rogues and giving mobility to other classes. Rogue in it's current MoP state is pretty much the same as a current state warrior, minus the armor.

Yep, R I P Rogues. How in hell are they suppose to fight hunters? Lmfao, yeah the same situation with Warriors in low level pvp. You cant charge in combat.

If you like playing a rogue. You'll make adjustments

I'm reminded of the scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, where he encounters the Black Knight. Rogues are about to be missing some arms and legs. Not much room for adjustment.

 

[Bubbletub]

I don't see what adjustments can be made without shadowstep, even if you used free action potion you would still need sprint to close the gap , nope rogues are being stripped and sent to Guantanamo on this one

 

[Klinda]

Seems everyones going to have to adjust their playing style, we can only hope it doesnt change things too much for the worse, i am about 50/50 myself with the rogue changes since i was thinking of lvling a rogue but only time will tell what will happen...

I am not the biggest fan of sub 39 pvp, in fact i hate it because ppl are too lazy to level up to a bracket with more depth(39 and above). It might sound harsh but even though this sprint and shadowstep nerf might ruin lower brackets, it also might force some ppl to level up and populate higher brackets.

To be fair, twinking is laziness. It's getting a character geared so you can just focus on PVP not "level up to a bracket with more depth" (85). So please, your glass house can't take the abuse.

More to the point. The 20-24 bracket exists because Blizzard decided that Trial accounts would cap at 20 and hence be put in the XPoff bracket. Not that we are awesomesauce and deserve any special consideration, but more that 90% of the players in 20-24 BGs are level 20. So without all those trial account players, there just wouldn't be any interest in the bracket.

I would love to be able to play in a higher bracket, but I refuse to pay for a game that doesn't take my community's concerns seriously. Raiding sucks yet that is all that is considered.

That being said, if for some reason Blizz pushes the Trial account level cap to 35, then I will face the wrath of Xsifilad for my comments here when I end up in his bracket

A very sound point, i agree. Although if we refine what i said to a finer detail i would say that twinking higher is less lazy then twinking lower.

 

[Lithogen]

I'll be twinking low levels until Blizzard nerfs frost mages and resto specs at end game.

I'll be at whatever the trial cap is. I just can't find a good enough reason to pay for no support. I played P2P for 3 years so I paid them enough. I would only be twinking If I was still P2P, and they don't really do anything but screw up PVP in every bracket except endgame, and you can argue that they don't even have that right. So considering the features I am interested in are effectively deprecated, why pay for that?

Anyway enough bitchin from me. I would love it if they raised the trial cap. I do prefer more fleshed out characters in PVP abilities-wise.
