Something that Kinda irked meFollow

Hi all Kiruru here!

For a while, before I switched to Mut spec, I'd been playing Sub/SHs spec for a while, and before the wrath patch, Cheat Death was my best friend, its saved me more times than I can count, I mean a good couple of seconds where damage that was usually 400 to 500 hit me for 23 to 45, who doesn't love that?


But after the patch, it was as if cheat Death didn't even exist when I had it, as soon as the cheat death sphere animation popped, so to did my fragile rogue body.


Now I sound noobish or missed some patch notes saying something about CD, but has this happened to anyone else? the other rogues I see with CD usually last for 2 maybe 3 more secs. before they hit the ground, maybe its just me.

what do you guys think?

I believe the cheat death reduction is based on 4 times your resilience dmg reduction...so if you're in pve gear or no resilience, then it's a wasted talent.

It's been that way since what, 2.4.3? 2.3? Either way you must've not played for a very long time not to have noticed this before.

I reckon he's probably on about the fact that with the last patch everybody's damage has just about doubled. Therefore Cheat Death lost some of it's usefulness since most classes deal so much damage that they'll kill you close after Cheat Death anyway.

Even double everyone's damage doesn't account for "oh hey, instead of taking 40 damage per hit, I'm taking 800". He's talking about the time a few patches back when they nerfed CD to depend on resilience.

Well, that's what everybody pointed out... But seeing as the OP gave no replies there and the Cheat Death nerf was quite some time ago, I figured he might be onto something else.
