Honestly. Blizz could be spending time balancing classes in PvP. All I have read so far is some stupid fake patch notes that would supernerf Warlocks for no good reason.

And now I just got wind of a flag-carrying nerf to Rocket Boots! HONESTLY... One of the coolest things about those boots was being able to flag carry with them. It was on a 5-minute freaking cooldown...

Sure. Go add a cloth version of them. That doesn't make Frost Mages ridiculous or anything.... But really, fine. Add a cloth version. Just don't nerf the ability to carry flags with the boots!

Luckily we do spend time on balancing classes, so at least that concern is being handled.

The change that forces both pairs of Rocket Boots to drop a PvP flag should just help even the playing field a bit. As always we will continue to monitor the situation and make any changes we feel are needed.
