Rogue - Aggression buff: Rogue Combat talent Aggression now applies its 2/4/6% bonus to Backstab. This is in addition to the previous effects of 2/4/6% increased damage on Sinister Strike and Eviscerate.
- Shadowstep reduced to 30 second cooldown. 8-25 yd range. Changed from 20 yard. (previously no min range) Also adds +20% damage to any special on next attack.
- Hemorrhage debuffed increased from 10 to 36. Now lasts 10 charges or 15 seconds.
Well, Combat Hemo just became the new raid build. Combat Daggers is now going to be competitive with Swords with the Aggression buff. Good changes all around. Shadowstep is now much more viable, as well. Maybe a couple more minor buffs and I think the Rogue class will be just where it needs to be. Some mobility outside a 41 point talent would be really nice.
Just mathcrafted it. 2.3 Hemo will beat the crap out of full combat SS in energy efficiency, and beats it slightly in raw damage with 2500 AP and 25% crit. Going to test it out on the PTR now.
