Mutilate needed a nerf, burst needs to be lowered in wow and blizzard is fully justified in it's changes to both rogues and arcane mages.
At the same time, this better be followed with dk / hunter (and maybe even ret paladin) damage nerfs. These classes were already better than both rogues and arcane mages. Blood dks are ridiculous right now (drw can be game breaking rng, they can heal for about 80 percent of their health pool, they have a ton of defensive cds, and they can crit me for 8k)Â
Rogues had a ton of burst, but even with the best gear it was a challenge for me (and progressing toward impossible) to beat top healers. I can't imagine how little damage a pvp geared rogue is going to do now.
I just can't understand blizzard's rush to nerf mut damage when other classes are doing as much burst, if not more, and are so much harder. They basically nerfed the glass cannnons and left the howitzers alone.Â

if you're good you shouldn't try to "outplay" people by predicting or play any different when you're recording then when you're not. Yeah i agree that random gouging trinket or vanish deathcoil on guesses are terrible and people can just record for months and get clips of it, but if you're good you should work this kind of **** into your regular gameplay.
Kind of take this last section personally because a lot of people assume i just play a flashy **** prediction playstyle that's a waste of time and ultimately hurts, when i don't, just because I make videos.
The big thing a lot of people don't get is you can use a lot of these so called "flashy" things reactively. For example gouging a mage out of iceblock in reaction to it fading, rather than randomly gouging into iceblock wasting energy hoping to get lucky and get it on fraps. Another example is vanishing in response to trinket rather [to either vanish a the blind or sap a trinket--> vanish or cs if they do neither] rather than many rogues who randomly vanish when being targeting by a cc'd rogue with trinket up) and it can become an accompanying part of your gameplay that improves it rather than hindering it.
A lot of people don't really understand this, including a lot of rogues (and other classes like your example of priests) don't understand this, and putting the short clip of randomly guessing a sw:death on a sheep or blind, or a rogue gouging preemptively into cs and gouging a trinket really isn't impressive at all to experienced and knowledgable players.

DO NOT LISTEN TO THE INTERVIEW - you have been warned, it's THAT horrible.
conversation; bodi laughing at his own jokes while managing to squeeze in talking about sex, his girlfriend, and alcohol. Also, the word chill was used about 20 times somehow.
Here's a tip. When interviewing someone, they should be talking as much or more than you. It's not the time to be throwing out your own ****ty anecdotes. You say you were trying to get a different perspective, but I don't even know what you were trying to get a different perspective of.

you know what's worse than pursuing women in an online game? discussing and developing strategy for pursuing women in an online game. This post has almost nothing to do with wow, and I feel pretty safe saying that reader's chances of getting e-vag after reading this have increased by precisely dick
