Per title. The 50% nerf on Leeching Poison is pretty big! It’s clear that Blizzard are just looking to reduce passive self healing across the board, which is what it is, but Leeching being a tier 3 talent is one of only 11 precious points you can spend in that tier, so it being nerfed so significantly feels pretty bad. Moving it down the tree or giving it a new effect would be nice.

Yea, Leeching poison is trash talent as it is, why nerfing it more ? If something needs nerf, its the Soothing Darkness which is extremely broken in PvP, especially for sub.

Very unfortunate. Rogues really needed the survivability when not really geared or for leveling. I’m not exactly sure why they’d nerf it. If it was a PVE nerf, I gotta ask. Where was this too strong for PVE? If it was a PVP nerf, why not just have it’s healing reduced by 50% in PVP instead of globally nerfing it 50%?
I like the idea of leeching poison more than actually using it. At this rate, maybe it should just be replaced with something else entirely.

it was definitely a PVE nerf as in PvP it wont save you from anything. But why ? Thats the real question.

maybe the devs are dumb? we’ll have to wait and see what their reasoning is, i guess.

I like leeching, as outlaw you can get around 30% leech, which isn’t shabby at all
The “new effect” could be: doesn’t drop off every time you log out.
(Seriously, how they haven’t fixed that bug yet is beyond me, especially after jumping on the similar shaman lightning shield bug.)

Getting randomly dc’d and logging back in to have to reapply a poison is one of my favorite things to do in this game.
