Hold onto your hats for my response to this one, or if you don’t have a hat, go acquire one so that you may hold onto it.
What do I think about this nerf?
Good.
What??? Good? How can you say that? They’re nerfing us! Nerfing us! IT BURNS! OH THE PAIN, THE PAIN OF IT ALL!
Calm down you. Yes, they are nerfing our fan of knives damage but let’s be honest with ourselves: Fan of Knives is absurd right now. There is just no reason for us to be that good at AOE when we’re already so good at single-target (some people might argue against how good we are single-target but I personally think we’re in a great place). Plus the dress-wearers were getting really upset.
But I love the taste of the tears of mana users.
They are pretty delicious, I’ll give you that.
This makes me a bit sad. The interrupt from FoK was pretty awesome, even with only a 50% chance from having 1 spare point in it. It was nice to have in Thorim’s pit even to interrupt a few lightnings and heals and I’ll miss it.
Where this really hurts is guilds that have been using this to take down Yogg +0 and the devs have even said that “[the encounter] may be too difficult without the interrupt”. But then they also said that they will be nerfing that encounter a bit to compensate.
Oh well, I guess an AOE interrupt that did a ton of damage with no cooldown was too good to be true huh? I could see it causing quite a ruckus in PvP too.
There are Combat Rogues in PvP?
I don’t know, probably.
The Expansion
So there’s been a lot of talk about the expansion lately. With the new races being leaked and the different possible race/class combinations that have been floating around and I’ve got to say that most of the changes to the old world have been intrigued, I love the idea of a place I already know changing and becoming “new” again.
If I have to level through the barrens again I WILL stab someone in the eye.
Agreed.
Now, I won’t lie, my interests as of late have been firmly distracted by other games, but you have my attention Blizzard so try to drop something really interesting on me at Blizzcon will ya?
Oh and I’m totally re-rolling Goblin*
*Not a chance in hell.
haha new they was gona do this tryed Fok spec out in arena (currently spec’d it now) its crazy against spellcasters im pretty much op preist’s dont have a chance
but i did find i had a huge problem with resto druids i hate the way as soon as rogue finds a op spec we get targeted and nerfed straight away are blizzard blind to the paladins 
(
Paladins are enjoying some pretty healthy nerfs in the same patch.
Fuck you, you fucking sycophant. Stop sucking BLizzard’s cock and defending the bullshit nerfs/. Now Fan of Knives is USELESS and it’s going to be IMPOSSIBLE to AoE Grind.
We used to be the ONLY FUCKIGN CLASS WITHOUT A GOD DAMNED VIABLE AOE< and then they gave us one and NOW THEY FUCKING TOOK IT AWAY FROM US AGAIN YOU FUCKING RETARD
LOLOLOLOL. I <3 you.
Maybe I misread the patch notes? I swear it said it was just going to do less damage but maybe they are "taking it away from us". On a serious note, FoK was not just "viable", it was way overpowered in my opinion (and other will agree, including Blizzard, obviously), you obviously don't agree, which is fine.
Anyway, thanks for yelling and cursing at me.
Also, Blizzard's cock is delicious.
Wow, you’re mad that rogues won’t be top aoe anymore, like we never should have in the first place?
it’s still most definitely viable
