buffed: You want to give the classes more identity. How does that happen?
Hazzikostas: We do not completely turn the classes upside down, but bring back some skills. Legion says we’ve gone too far in some classes and specializations, so gamers have not felt comfortable with the character they’ve been traveling with for years. But we want to fix problems that exist: capabilities that do not work, how they should. Talent series that are way too powerful. A complete overhaul, such as the survival hunter, who suddenly no longer fights from afar, but from near, we do not intend. But there are some specializations that we want to touch. These include, for example, the deception scoundrel, because in recent years he has moved very much in the direction of shadow magic and teleportation, and that no longer corresponds to what one imagines under a WoW villain. We may be more in the direction of control, sneaking, and the image of the PvP archetype.

Oh thank you looks interesting hoping more specs get this treatment
Control and Burst are the heart and soul of Subtlety gameplay
Legion nu-Rogues won’t understand but handing the class over to those clowns was a mistake to begin with. Glad to see Blizzard has realized it and will correct course.
Thanks for posting the link. I was unable to do so.
