patch opinions from a combat rogueFollow

1: imp sap static? hells ja!

possibly the best thing a raiding rogue with split interest ever got, aside from 41-15-5 mutilate (but **** daggers =\)

but the big thing bout that? a 20-41-0 combat rogue is TREMENDOUS in heroics now... full time dps, with the gear n talents to treat those hardcore 70-72 elites like a raid.... plus good cc

rogues are now wanted in heroics if you arent a jackass or pvp spec (even pvp spec is nice)

2: the new glows? bout time <3

its only a graphic, it has nothing to do with anything, but man i feel incomplete without weapon glows.... i hated my emerald ripper lookin like it was unenchanted

mongoose is crazy lookin, battlemaster is subtle but very cool i think (thank goodness to as im twin BM enchanted), the 2h ones are nift-o (points to savagery), 81 to heals is... noticeable at least lol

3: the gear upgrades....

so i was in decent epics, kara stuff, no pvp stuffs

i gained half a crit, 100 hp, 9 hit rating, and 40 ap... bein in over half blues thats a nice jump

but the weapons dps change... thats the key
glad weapons 88.8->91.2
my emerald ripper 81.3->87.3

big jump, kara weapons are now worth the time

other popular combat weapons (non dagger)

fireguard is 84.4 dps now (same with any t1 bop crafted weapons)
blinkstrike is 81
vindicator brand is now 81
heroic epic ones are 81 id assume

it sure helps us close the gap against a caster in raid dps

4: pvp aspect
aside from the talents, things got a balance shift.... and its big

we lost ground on HEAVY burst dps casters, since most of em picked up a lot of crit, didnt lose much ground but some

we gained a ton of ground on healers, they gained some hp, and maybe some resil.... but our extra dps is more then the defense they gained

ice mages i thing we lost the most ground one, them and feral druids

ice mage: extra crit chance, more damage, more hp in pvp gear... a lil more resil; they got the ice block debuff now, but that doesnt help a ton against us really.... they are harder to kill and kill us faster... the fight is very skill based now

feral druid: taking less damage, doin a lil more, and more hp.... nuff said on the bear form druid

paladins: farm mode now, ignore the stat upgrades... plate didnt get much better to where wed see a difference, BUT we can trinket HOJ

we win, they are forced bubbles on us now


havent evaluated on hunters, i will soon

warriors and rogues got more skilled based, but the balance didnt change

rogue vs rogue is set to who can stun break better... and a 30% stun resist orc rogue has a huge edge with a trinket too




more changes as i see to be posted :D just thought id share

im sayin frost mages are harder cuz while they can only do the one ice block, most of em who kill me only need 1

the extra survivabilty they has staticly, and the extra burst dps is a big swing for em

------------------

as for the 41-15-5 thing i said... thats the split interest muti, oppo > dw in pvp, still does good in raids

combat's dw spec is nice but its pvp isnt quite as good.. makes it the raid version rather "do whatever u want well but not 'mazing" like oppo
