    9 second stun in pvp, it's a typo for sure. Imagine +4 secs for a Kidney shot (13 secs stunlock).

    Why don't you post this over on the Beta forums? I know they at least listened to the shadow priests and changed some core abilities in this most recent patch.

    No, it's not a typo. You're just an idiot because you don't know how glyphs like this have worked in the past (Sap glyph).

    It's not that much different than a CS/KS/Gouge combo on live though, BTW.

    There are at least three 26+ page threads on the beta forums right now. Rogues haven't gotten a blue post in any of them. They're really reasonable threads as well, there isn't too much ******** and complaining from the main contributors.

    Pvp duration still capped at 8 seconds, it's beta and it's a bug. 9 secs stun is absurd, not like a fear who breaks with damage.

    You realize that 8 secs + 3 secs (DR KS) is 11 seconds, right? That's about what a stun lock lasted for pre-Cata. With damage being reduced across the board, I don't see how it's out of line.

    Also, 8 sec AoE fear says hi in the "I'm ******* OP" discussion.

    I can dispel fear, get fearless buff etc, fear breaks when damage and there are many ways to break it... Stun? Cheapshot 9 seconds, shadow dance/vanish - cheap shot 4.5 secs, kidney shot - 2 secs = 15.5 second stunlock.

    If you claiming it's normal you are a delusional player who needs all the help in the world so u can kill noobs in bg's. Comparing fear with 15.5 secs of Stunlock...pffft!

    Don't hate on a rogue that knows how to stun lock... that's how rogues have ALWAYS been. Personally, I can't stunlock worth crap. I'm a horrible rogue.

    You can't stun 6 people at once; you can definitely fear 6 people at once.

    I think I've proved over and over again that I need no help in PvP; I was killing 4500+ resil people in blues and greens on my rogue and my hunter (still do on my hunter).

    Anyway, a 8/9 second CS will never make it to live, so I don't know why we're even having this conversation.

    With how ****** rogue damage is on beta though, it wouldn't be out of line.

    Subtlety
  • Hemorrhage now deals an additional 100% direct strike's damage over 24 sec, up from 40%.
  • Mastery: Executioner now scales from 300% of, down from 250%.

  • Major Glyphs
  • Glyph of Cheap Shot now increases the duration of Cheap Shot by 1 sec, down from 5 sec.

  • So you can be happy RAW, CS got adjusted. Is 5 seconds too long, or are you cool with that?

    I'm glad that Blizzard doesn't understand how ****** rogue damage is on beta that they think 60% more memo bleed damage makes up for it. Smiley: rolleyes
    #62REDACTED, Posted: May 03 2012 at 5:45 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I told you it was a typo, it was never intented to be 9 secs. This proved that you don't understand high end PVP, stay in BG's killing easy target.
    #63 May 03 2012 at 5:50 AM Rating: Excellent
    How is it a typo when it was changed completely? The original increased it by 5 secs instead of reducing the energy cost, while the update just increases by 1 sec. Unless I'm just not understanding... which is most likely the possibility.

    FYI - Theo isn't my boyfriend and being with my fiance for 7 years, I don't really appreciate you assuming as such just because we've got a good friendship.

    Also, either way made sense to me so I wouldn't have notice it as being a typo but it just meaning Cheap Shot is now 5 seconds instead of 4.
    #66REDACTED, Posted: May 03 2012 at 9:17 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I know, it was just funny how you tried to justify is lack of knowledge (for the higher end of PVP), you are a good friend.

    It wasn't a typo. It went onto beta (9 sec CS). If they really didn't intend it, that's what we call a bug. But since it made it onto beta and the tooltip wording was exactly the same, that's just a change they reverted because of the whining.

    Screenshot


    And yeah, I totally have a lack of knowledge of PvP. Multiple 1850+ seasons (every season I played), and a few 2200+ seasons in every bracket (S3/S4). I got to 2200 as feral/rogue back in TBC when ferals weren't even good in PvP. I also got it as feral/rogue/warrior/hunter/paladin back when people were still stacking 2-3 healers in 5v5.

    So yeah, I totally don't know what I'm talking about and you're completely correct, except that this would have to be opposite day because you're completely wrong and I know what I'm talking about because I'm on beta and I've been PvPing since 2004. Even a ****** like you has to learn something since then.

    Things you've been wrong about in this thread: DR duration of KS (something EVERYONE in PvP knows if they've done arena: half of 6 is 3, 1/4 of 6 is 1.5), 15.5 second stunlock (with the glyph, 9 + 4.5 + 2.25 = 15.75 is possible as you shouldn't even be using KS, you should be using CS to open, then CS to open your Shadow Dance, then to close your Shadow Dance), and the fact that this was a typo. If something goes live, it's obviously not a typo. This went live.

    EDIT: Oh, and you're also wrong about me and Noc. Smiley: tongue

    I figured he was saying that I was trying to justify what you were saying due to my lack of knowledge, or something like that. Which seriously, I have no effin' clue how to play my rogue in PvP. You've seen me... I'm horribad. I'm one of those people that will stand there while being stunlocked, feared and whatever cc you can image while someone tried to pummel me because I was the sux0rz.

    And don't get me wrong... I do think Theo is a handsome looking guy and wouldn't have a problem dating him if I wasn't committed lol (and if he didn't care about my evil, staring at flowers photo)... ANYWHO...

    Baseline
  • Evasion no longer reduces the chance that ranged attacks will hit you.
  • Garrote no longer requires you to be behind the target.

  • Subtlety
  • Hemorrhage now deals 140% weapon damage, up from 100%. Now deals 203% weapon damage if a dagger is equipped, up from 145%. Now deals an additional 50% bleeding damage, down from 100%.

  • Minor Glyphs
  • Glyph of Detection - Teaches you the ability Detection. Focus intently on trying to detect something.

  • Hemo buff was needed, Evasion nerf was not, especially since 90% of rogues won't have Prep anymore.

    I like the Garrote change, though.

    Just wanted to chip in, rogues always have scaled exceptionally well with gear. Every expansion thus far rogues seem to start out weak and by the end we're the best DPS in game (with exceptions). It happened in Wrath, and Cata. I remember threads here complaining near the beginning of Wrath about how poor rogues did and many people switched to DKs.

    I'm not sure about how Panda is progressing so far as I haven't kept up with much class-wise, but in Cata I semi retired my rogue after the first tier. He's still my *main* in heart but I just felt awkward switching to backstab at %. I don't know I just felt weird doing it. Besides I was having an easier time getting invites being a healy druid, instead of random dps #5.

    That and I always felt ,in PvE at least, rogues should be based around doing top dps but sacrifice raid utility, and many classes seemed very close to us in that race but brought more to the table (Hunters/Mages ranged, Pallys back up heals/rez, etc.) , and there were many fights that were not rogue friendly at all. Rogues out of all the classes need to be in the thick of it, and while we do have some of the best damage mitigation abilities, it took a LOT of skill to stay on target and, in Cata, it seemed if you weren't on the ball every moment, you turned into a healing sponge. I felt the rogue risk/reward for rogues was well balanced, and in Cata with the more *complicated* rotation and trend of more rogue unfriendly fights, the risk outweighed the minor reward.

    I know much of this could boil down to "Play better noob", and I don't mean to QQ, but after starting to lead raids I would ask myself, "Is bringing a rogue, who does a few K more dps then other classes, outweigh those other classes utility/survivability (even if they aren't on the ball) but do comparable DPS even if they do mess up a little bit". I just saw better classes to choose from. Just saying rogues pop the wrong defensive CD at the wrong moment wont have it when they need it again and will A) Die quickly B) have to back away from the boss and lose a good chunk of dps where other classes seem to have more ranged options.

    Sorry for the mini rant, just figured I would throw this out there. Also now that I think about it I kinda stopped playing rogue also because my guild blew up and from the after the first tier I never found a raid group I clicked with as well. Meh

    TL:DR - Risk/reward for rogues in Cata seemed Imba. Looking forward to see if Bliz addresses this in Panda.

    If you were talking the PeeVeePees, I'm probably the worst rogue ever in that context so dismiss this all and carry on.

    I was mostly talking about leveling and PvP, which I've never had a problem with. My rogue is from December 2004 and has been my main pretty much the whole time.

    I know what you're talking about in PvE, but that's never really applied to PvP. MYteddy and I were doing rogue/DK and rogue/rogue in WotLK and were doing fine (better than fine, we got to 1850 just ******* around with little to no gear) in early seasons. By the same token rogues did pretty well in PvP early on in Cata even though we had pretty ****** damage in PvE.

    Rogue damage is pretty awful as it stands right now on beta, and that concerns me. Healers are healing straight through rogue damage even with interrupts and stuns. It's pretty ******* at the moment.

    Maybe that changes with weapon upgrades, maybe it doesn't. We'll have to see.

    Yeah I figured you might have been talking more about PvP since you're like the go to PvP rogue of Zam. That sucks that healers are healing through rogue damage atm, but It might change at 90 (Or are you @90, I was under the assumption this beta would be like all the others with staggered zone/cap release during it) Maybe thats why Bliz is increasing stun time for rogues instead of giving them more burst giving them longer stuns, so you have to be more skilled with CD's, and less LOLShSBSBOOM burst that imbalances PvE (sometimes).

    I'm going to have to watch to see if this is the way Bliz is going to balance rogues. Balancing around skill is much harder then balancing around power in PvP, in my limited experience. Stuns in PvE, outside leveling, are *almost* useless.

  • Shiv no longer awards 0 combo points.

  • Assassination
  • Dispatch had damage and bonus damage increased by 55%.
  • Envenom had damage and AP scaling increased by 48%.
  • Mutilate had damage and bonus damage increased by 54%.

  • Combat
  • Revealing Strike had damage increased by 60%.

  • Looks like they're listening and making changes to buff damage %s. Now if they would just buff Ambush to have a 80-90% chance to crit and buff BS to have a 50-60% chance to crit and buff Hemo's damage, we'd be getting enthusiastic comments from rogues.
