Well today is my birthday and with how many birthday miracles that have occured i thought you might like to contribute to a fantastic day!

My dear friend and protege Lure says he posts this on all the posts he thinks that you might read and i thought you might read it if i asked you to really really nice. Also because it is my bday.

So this is a quote from my birthday thread and he has some good ideas (or suggestions rather((he is apologizing since he was being negative in my birthday thread in an earlier post!))

Q u o t e:
Ok I feel kinda bad posting that on your Bday koikoi so here's how Blizzard can fix us

Haste - Make it a worthwhile stat. Buff the living crap out of it to something close to prenerf levels for melee only. Gotta nerf enhance shamans and fury warriors when they do this tho.

Armor Pen - This stat is just badbadbad. Buff it to somewhere between "lol burning crusade zero armor" and "lol wotlk diminishing returns armor pen." Again, you gotta nerf fury warriors and enh shamans and hunters.

Glancing Blows - Remove them. Such a stupid archaic form of mitigation. Has no real point in the game. Leave it in game for mobs that are +4 levels above you, remove it for +3. Oh yeah nerf fury warriors again to compensate.

Buff the hell out of the combat tree - Make Killing Spree 1 minute, make it not switch targets. Buff prey on the weak to 30%. Make savage combat 3/6%. Make Combat Pot generate more energy. Lower AR to 3 minutes. Buff sinister strike base damage. Change lightning reflexes to a dps talent and not worthless ass dodge.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOIKOI.


Finally thanks for reading!

Happy birthday!

Haste is a worthwhile stat to some casters but it is not useful for many melee. We are trying some different things to make it more apealing.

Armor Pen I think is just undertuned. It is a good stat in general, but the amount of +armor pen you need to get to something noticeable is too high. We would like to buff it.

Glancing blows are something you are not likely to see go away. They are a big tool we use to balance melee versus bosses.

Combat definitely needs a buff. We don't want to go back to where every PvE rogue goes that route (and many leveling too) but its dps is too far behing Assassination.
