So we&#8217;re getting a new raid &#8211; the Firelands. We might even be getting a second new raid in patch 4.1, which some theorize is the <a href=\"http:\/\/wow.joystiq.com\/2011\/02\/28\/speculation-the-war-of-the-ancients-connection-to-the-legendar\/\" target=\"_blank\">War of the Ancients<\/a>\u00a0raid. My main, a Paladin, is finally going to see Divine Storm add holy power, which should solidify our ability\u00a0to put out competitive AOE numbers. These changes and a <a title=\"4.1 Patch\u00a0Notes\" href=\"http:\/\/15minutesofwow.wordpress.com\/2011\/02\/24\/4-1-patch-notes\/\">host of others<\/a>\u00a0don&#8217;t excite me near as much as a pair of little changes for rogues. Did I say little? I meant supermassiveomgforpvpfuntimes.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Stealth base cooldown has been reduced to 4 seconds, down from 10, and the movement penalty from being in Stealth has been removed.<\/p>\n<p>[Sub] Nightstalker\u00a0[talent]\u00a0now\u00a0reduces the cooldown of Stealth by 2\/4 seconds, and instead of negating the movement penalty from Stealth, it adds a 5\/10% movement speed bonus (stacking with other effects) while Stealthed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Lets work this out, first all rogues now can move the same speed as everyone else when stealthed, making hunting your prey\u00a0as a rogue so much easier. The CD to return to stealth is also lowered to 4 seconds. This makes it much safer to jump out and score a kill. As long as the kill takes you out of combat, you only have to wait 4 seconds, down from 10 in order to be safe and sneaking around again. As an extra bonus for the subtlety spec the cooldown on stealth is reduced to zero. If you&#8217;re not in combat you can immediately get back to stealth. On top of that, when stealthed\u00a0they will actually move 10% faster than normal movement speed. This means a sub rogue will actually be faster in stealth than another class who doesn&#8217;t have a talented move speed. Never again will rogues have to watch their targets casually run away because they were just slightly out of range and Shadowstep was on CD.<\/p>\n<p>You might ask, &#8220;If your main is a Paladin, why are you excited about this change?&#8221; I would have a two-part\u00a0answer for you. First, run speed and extra sneakiness\u00a0or not, jump me alone on your rogue and you&#8217;re dead if you don&#8217;t run. Second, I do 80% of my PVP on my rogue in battlegrounds as sub spec. It was bunches of fun before\u00a0and this is icing on an already very tasty cake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK. So we&#8217;re getting a new raid &#8211; the Firelands.
