I miss:

Not having a chance to play without DR :(

The 'old murder' since it was like.. 50lvls before you could get enough +hit to not miss a special (at least without precision). And at least having your openers always hit was a bonus...

Double blind stunlocks.

The 800ap/2.80 weapon speed Hemo benchmark... infact I think I remember your post from ages & ages ago Mongoose when you finally hit that.

Remorselss proccing off people you didn't get the KB on.

I miss not being able to take two/three points in what the 'old Camo' was (Rapid Concealment). Back when it only reduced your time to re-stealth. You only really need a 6 second cooldown on stealth since that is how long it takes to drop combat (usually from ambushing a sitting mage).

Edit: The three Tier 1 sub talents were Camo, MoD & "Rapid Concealment". I picked a random old page (pg111) to find that out... Aug 2005... bloody hell that was a while ago...

I miss: Ambush>Gouge>Coldblood>Eviscerate. As the old school *seal fate* Mage-killer.

As well as: Cheapshot>Backstab>Thistle tea>Backstab>Coldblood>Eviscerate.

Seal Fate being Cool: "Wow! 2 combo points off a crit?!"

Thistle tea giving you 100 energy.

I could go on...

I like the old Imp KS talent, reducing the cooldown. *smiles* Sapping for 30+ seconds, damn my memory is not so good at remembering old talents. :(

Hmm, I forget, what's the old imp distract do?

I'm too young to remember them, but I miss Zuba pants. They looked really comfortable.

Also I miss...

Good old days right?

Back when Vigor was our 31 point talent and you needed 8 points in Combat to pick up imp. backstab.

Some changes are for the better though... seriously, you remember the old improved sap? 3/3 in imp. Sap and you still only had 90% chance to re-stealth. New rogues these days don't realize just how good they have it. That was a bloody joke compared to the (now) 100% chance to re-stealth on sap from the second you get the ability.

And to link to another uber necro-post: Mongoosexcore hits the 800ap cap!

AQ40 being the constant cockblock that it was and the subsequent fight between DnT and Tigole+Furor. Good stuff.

As for Rogues, not being able to reach DW as Mutilate, being called lazy for being a Sword Rogue, unable to do anything after being DoT-ed, and my favorite had to been drowning Horde players in STV via Sap after kiting them out to sea :), if only that was still around.

swirly ball omfg

/cry

but if we're gonna be THAT old school

who remembers barman shanker being OP for a dagger.... ubrs being serious bid-ness, and BF hoods being a once in a blue moon thing

back when mc dropped t2 and ubrs was your source for nightslayer?

back when the battlegrounds was "an upcoming idea"

before mara was around, and thrash blade was NOT the level 47-51 sword to have


back when finding a krol blade was 2 free epic mounts (back when the train was cheap and the mount was pricy anyways)
