Rogue changes are sad

I’m scrolling through the class changes, seeing paragraphs upon paragraphs of awesome looking changes.

Get to Rogue… 3 lines.

Absolutely wild how we’ve gotten essentially nothing from Alpha until now. Maybe in 11.2 a single developer at Blizzard will remember this class exists.

I am 100% sure that the changes we know about so far are not comprehensive or complete so I will comment briefly on the changes we know about.

The PVP talents definitely need to be updated so we will see how the new talents come in to replace the old departed ones.

The new PVP talent that ties into Feint is interesting. I like it because it rewards a Rogue for pre-emptively using a Feint against a stun. What I do not like about it is that it makes Feint a do everything CD for incoming single target damage reduction outside of stuns, in stuns and also AoE damage reduction in genreal.

Rogues use to have more separate CDs like every other class for defensives. Just something to think about.

Now for the changes to Gouge and Blind I am puzzled.

What is the point of nerfing Gouge and Blind and turn around do this? I rather see Blind and Gouge nerfs reverted to be honest and go back to breaking on any damage. But Gouge and Blind breaking on X threshold is a buff for Assassination so that is a silver lining.

The nerf to Sleight of Hand overall to have an increased change for 5 rolls buffs is a net positive.

Overall the changes are in the C+ range which makes them moderately lukewarm but do not really move the needle for the class.

I would have thought rogues would have been one of the classes getting the most attention for 11.1 considering they were basically ignored all of alpha and have bland hero talents all around.

This is crazy.

they removed shadowy duel :smiley:

going to garbo class quickly

3 bullet points and no communication. Incredibly lazy from every dev.
