Best change for the last 20 years. Actually, due to this, more people might play PVP

I am happy too. I play Unohly lol. Unholy still good homie so no problems done. But kidney shot affects all 3 specs so yea LOL GL with that.

i already quit… ive mained Sub Rogue since cata, and on and off seeing changes, every since WoD rogue has just gone down hill. its NOT rewarding at all to play! gameplay is super boring. and every attack is a noodle slap.l there is NO BURST at all anymore. super boring

Because blizzard is a joke and they keep trying to move away from all cc. They want every class to be identical in function with the only real difference being the animations.

If they want to make it into an esport they have to normalize a lot of the game The problem is that WoW is a MMORPG and not an action RPG/MOBA.

As we can see the change only appeals to bad players.

What other class has an 8s stun?

It isn’t 8s in PvP.

I was hardly doing any PvP during the last two xpacs so the CD change doesn’t really affect me but for PvP rogues this is the dumbest decision in 20 years of WoW. It was fine for two decades and now it needs a change?

Pikaboo who knows PvP rogues better than any of the current devs made some fitting comments in his latest YT vid. Nothing more to be said.

What class does pikaboo play? Im curious

pika is a true Sub Rogue in his heart of hearts.

God bless pika for keeping the Rogue dream alive.

Pika has played multiple classes to rank 1 I believe, so implying that he’ll be representing it from a biased perspective is just ill informed.

I don’t really watch Pikaboo, but I know of him and I watched that video.
He had like a sarcastic humorous tone through the video?

But what I love even more is the arena games - not what he’s saying.
While joking about how they’ve finally nerfed Kidney and how he’s going to become a Share Holder to make them revert the change, he Kidneys the Resto Druid and then goes and solos the Shaman, killing them. The game lasted for 32 seconds.

And it’s not like the enemy healer was bad, they were 2400.

What you didn’t see though is he secured the kill with Cheap Shot on the kill target. The kidney shot nerf means he has to last an extra 10 seconds to line up an off target stun on the resto druid.

But in world PVP, and battle grounds the extra ten seconds is a death sentence often.

Rogue damage and survivability has to be improved to justify KS being 30 seconds now.

Right now this impacts others parts of PVP, leveling and questing.

Keep in mind the second vanish in the talent tree for the extra vanish and on demand cheap shot comes late.

If rogue damage wasnt weak sauce the CC nerf might have made some sense.
