Really? AoE dps on trash mobs will easily drop by 20%-30% with this change. Energy regen is not an issue for me in any fight, keeping my dps up on trash mobs IS an issue for me. For me, this is a significant PVE nerf. A PVE buff? Really? AoE dps on trash mobs will easily drop by 20%-30% with this change.

Perhaps for pvp. For PvE,though, I feel like this a bit of a buff. It'll be easier for a mutilate rogue keep up overkill more or less constantly whilst solo. Nerf? Perhaps for pvp.

The old overkill lasted six seconds, so you get your opener plus five GCDs of reduced cost. That's a total saving of 60 energy if you use every one of those GCDs. The new overkill generates 3 extra energy every second (base regen of 10 + 30%) for 20 seconds, which is 60 energy generated. If you cap energy during that time the extra energy is wasted. Even in PvP, it's not really feasible to use all five of your first five globals. It changes your opener a bit, but it's not really a nerf in my eyes. I agree it's basically a positive change for the game. <abbr><em>Chronic’s last blog post..<a href="http://blog.chron.ws/archives/222" rel="nofollow">These Nerfs are Just Overkill</a></abbr></em> “I haven’t run the numbers but I expect the increased energy regen to more than make up for the lose of the decreased energy cost”

A +30% Energy Regen for 30seconds? Thank you for making my Vanish SO much more valuable in PvE. I’m thinking that this is a further buff to PvE while a “rearranging” of PvP bonuses.
