Rogues wear mail in cata?

[CursedOne]

Hey all I was looking at the cataclysm class mechanic changes posted on wowblues.com and in one of the stun changes it says

In PvP, we want to reduce the rogue's dependency on binary cooldowns and "stun-locks," and give them more passive survivability in return. One major change is that we'll put Cheap Shot on the same diminishing return as other stuns. The increase to Armor and Stamina on cloth, leather, and mail gear will help with this goal as well.

Just wondering what you guys think. I reckon this is just a miss-type but if not, I'm looking forward to getting my rogue from 80 - 85

ffs what a bullshit .. the classes doesnt have any recognition value and get more equal with every new addon.

NOOOOOO o_o Competition on my hunter gear!

[CursedOne]

I know. This might really over power rogues dont you think?

It has nothing to do with rogues wearing mail, in WotLK Warriors and Paladins have like 8k more hp in PvP purely because plate has so much bonus stamina.

Rogues are merely being changed so they don't need to rely on stuns, that if they get caught out they can still pack a good fight.

Hmm suppose but at least with the rogue if you use assassination I think it is you can get the target down to at least half the health before there un stunned?

I guess most of you have a hard time understanding english...

What this post is saying is "we dont want rogue to stun lock people so what we are doing is adding more armor and stam tocloth, leather, and mail gear so that rogue stunlock will not work as well as it did and not be fruitful to use"

Why does it not mention plate *Raised Eyebrow*

"Because its already got good enough stats"
^^ -- Will be the next comment...

Pretty much what he said.

[CursedOne]

Fair does guys but I still think this means rogues will get mail.
I hope not I just thought that that is what it meant

Misinterpretation.

What it's saying is "Armor and Stamina on cloth, leather, and mail gear" as a single entity, if that makes sense.


Before this preview they mentioned they were raising the armor and stamina for everything to be closer to Plate's level. That is what they are referring to; it just happens to also help Rogues because they wear Leather which is getting improved.

But of course what I say will be ignored and people will continue to complain about it and all.

I understand now

Isn't that how forums work?

I'm pretty sure its to balance the HP of all the classes, esp shamans. With them still being the class with the least amount of health. (poor squishy enh shamans without wolves up > )

[jazman84]

From the OP's logic, Rogues will be wearing a clown suit of Cloth, Leather and Mail.
