All Rogues Get Cloak of Shadows?!Follow

#1 Jan 09 2007 at 10:01 AM Rating: Default
So I saw to my dismay that all rogues are getting a trainable Cloak of Shadows at lvl 66. If the previous post is correct that lock dots will be a cast and rogues get the Cloak...GG, QQ, /wowcry

I believe 'Cloak of Skill' is the correct term.

More like Cloak of the Anti Caster.

High Five.

And lowered the cooldown to 1 min. rogues are gonna pwn even worse now. And what the hell does "pwn" mean anyways?

It's not like they don't die quickly. After all the nerfing they have received since the original beta, I doubt one skill will break them.

Plus, rogues have access to CoS now if they spec for it. I've seen it used several times. All it does is make vanish actually work for them, it's not uber or anything. Take comfort in knowing that Shadowstep gives them a chance to blink through the world and plummet to their certain demise.

I guess you have a point about the nerfin'. I've only been playing about 6 months and noticed how much rogues get changed in such a short time. I think that any class/spec that gets a talent as cool Cloak of Shadows is pretty cool. At least they look good before they die.

Feel lucky that they changed "Preperation" from a reset all rogue skills to only reset certain skills.

As it stands now, I can use CoS, prep, CoS which = dead caster!

Dude its a 6 sec (or was it 4 ?) inmunity to magic, sure you're gonna have a good time with that, for non-subtlety rogues (I guess Shadowstep will be sub's new 41 talent) it'll be the chance to get through a caster's first defense barrage of spells and close in for the kill.


Is it just me or will the new rogues absolutely whip *** in pvp ? (more than before obviously)
Good thing I'll be rolling a BElf rogue.

Lol cry more nub. This is old news, about a month old actually.

Your hp is almost doubled in BC, rogues need this ability to last in long-winded fights.

Hmm CoS as a trainable ability, I like that idea but I'm wondering what the new 41 point ability will be. I do hope it will be Shadowstep like the above poster has said.

As someone who used CoS in PVP, as opposed to just seeing it used, I have to jump in and say it is an *amazing* skill. I'd trade Eviscerate for CoS, if I had to.

Not only does it level the playing field against Locks and Mages, it made running the flag in WSG almost trivial. Rogues will be among the best flag runners in the Eye of the Storm.

Read the patch notes. It is. They never fixed the error where shadowstep will end up blinking people through the world on a hilly area though, gonna be fun fixing that. I do believe we'll have an ability more broken than vanish now XD.

Yeah but atleast the ability wont be a core skill... hehe. I could care less about other rogues blinking into the ground... the skill is far too messed up to pick up.

Rogues need CoS in order to keep up with the 10k+ health everyone at level 70. They desperately needed the buff, pre-2.01 I killed most rogues with one or two more tiers of gear than me without much difficulty - only the ones with insane ambush + backstab + stunlock or absolutely perfect stunlocking regularly killed me.

My only real concern is the possibly of CoS + vanish + shadowstep + ambush + backstab, because they're not only starting the battle over for me but for them, getting off a second string of burst damage when I'm (probably) already weak from their first assault. Wasn't really a problem before, since you can usually here rogues coming >.>
