Sub Rouge is a big problem

[Smaugboi-tichondrius]

This spec has like a hundred outs… can die 3 times over before actually dying… and I thought blizzard was trying to tone down burst ?? lol sub can 100-00 in a cheap shot right now. 6 games in a row with a sub rough in 2’s tonight. What a disgustingly broken class. Forget about warlocks and boomys. Nerf this spec

Rogue

• Subtlety
• Developers’ notes: Burst damage from Subtlety has been higher than we’d like this season. We’re looking to keep the spec in a strong position while toning down their burst potential in short windows.
  • Secret Technique damage is now reduced by 33% in PvP combat (was 25%).
  • Shadowstrike and Backstab damage from Weaponmaster is now 50% effective in PvP combat.
  • Flagellation’s Mastery bonus is now 80% effective in PvP combat.
  • Dark Shadow is now 67% effective in PvP combat (was 80%).

Here are some changes that’ll be put in tomorrow.

[Smaugboi-tichondrius]

ok thanks. sorry did not know they were getting changes… No wonder why there are so many playing tonight. Trying to get in all the cheese they can before tomorrow.

Le marron qui qui.

Those changes won’t be enough, big issue is tier bonus for crazy dance burst and too much CDR effects. Sub will still 1 shot

That’s what I figured, but it’s still something.

[Lakeshark-stormrage]

This is true lol

[Arite-bonechewer]

Rouge

[Darkombra-frostmourne]

8% won’t change a damn thing lol…

You forgetting this is the same pvp balance team that took over a month to nerf ret to a reasonable level…

[Dominicana-tichondrius]

guess we will find out today. Sometimes Blizzard puts in the text they are nerfing it by (x) amount only to stealth nerf it by more.

Looking at you rogue S1

[Caide-quelthalas]

nice an overall 3-5% nerf … that will do nothing, roges survivability is insane! rogues need massive nerfs

[ßadchoice-skyfury]

what expansion has rogue not have high survivability in the right hands?

[Yagarr-moon-guard (Yagarr)]

Yea, the nerfs didnt change the tier of this spec.

Their reset potential, survivability, burst, and control is all top tier.

It doesn’t matter if they have poor sustained damage because in most arenas nothing dies outside of a go anyway.

This spec negates Blizzard’s entire attempt to weaken CC, because Cheap Shot actually got buffed in duration by avoiding the CC nerfs while old Trinket bonus was removed.
