i was thinkin a lil bit...
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent=fbxfoxZbZizfcMGRcxot

ap stacked rogue + season 3 gear w/ armor ignore + primalstrike for high ap... full shadowstep build after its incoming changes

this could mean glorious things for world pvp, since most people dont grind in pvp gear

season 3 dagger i expect 4.5k+ ambush crits to be almost commonplace, throw in ignore an extra 700-1k armor in addition to the ignore we already have from serrated blades.... that drops a ice mage with his ice armor to critter-ish armor levels

so (timed energy of course) premed->step->ambush->backstab->5pt DT

thats what? a easy 5k+ if not more ambush into a almost 2k backstab into a 1.4k DT if that crits?

thats gonna ruin a lot of sh*t for world pvp.... and with step being in combat/out of stealth, that makes high powered backstabs and blink stunlocks a severe possibility

i MIGHT just go daggers for this kind of power, along side of getting more ap involved in my gear.....

rebirth: world pvp videos, throw out the challenges... throw down the gauntlets... its time for rogues to revive their shady-as-hell image

whos with me


side note, 2v2 arena... a quick (and i do mean QUICK) burst damage team might have a new life.... ice mage particularly.. frostbolt>frost nova>ice lance> pom frostbolt.... plus a rogue assist? takes down anything non tank warrior if down fast with proper cc's.... hmmm

Yea that could get ugly for a Frost Mage. If you throw that then prep->step->backstab...coupled with this new increased when foes drop below 35% health...could strike fear into some folk.

With Imp EA it may frighten even a few mail wearers...


here you go mongoose back in the sub tree...old habits...

edit:i dont know the cooldown on step so prep may not be needed at all

We'll have to wait and see. Last time I spec'd ShS it was horribly broken in that you couldn't step up behind moving targets. Anyone know if that was ever addressed?
