  • [Slice and Dice] now increases attack speed by 125% (was 100%).
  • [Roll the Bones]

Subtlety

  • Developers' notes: Our overall goals are to remove uncontrolled player teleport from the baseline DPS rotation, to reduce the frequency of teleporting in PvP, to allow players to choose between more frequent or more impactful Shadow Dances, which equates to more frequent CC/utility or damage in PvP, to keep the PvE rotation engaging, and to make [Symbols of Death] more engaging.

  • [Marked for Death]'s cooldown reduced to 40 seconds (was 60 seconds) for Subtlety.

  • [Master of Shadows] now gains 25 Energy over 3 seconds when you enter [Stealth] or [Shadow Dance].
    • Developers' notes: Pooling energy going into a Shadow Dance has long been the way to play Subtlety, and we'd like to bring that back. This design still gives you more energy for a Shadow Dance, but in a way that allows the Rogue to fully utilize pooling gameplay.
  • [Nightblade] now increases your damage dealt to the target by 15%, with damage over time component reduced by 35%.
    • Developers' notes: Further pushes Subtlety away from maintaining Nightblade on all secondary targets and instead into focusing their damage into 1 target. Additionally, gives Nightblade a mechanical interaction with the rest of the core rotation that fulfills the "setup" feel of Subtlety.
  • [Premeditation] has been removed.
  • [Relentless Strikes] now causes your finishing moves to generate 6 Energy per combo point spent.
  • [Second Shuriken] (Artifact trait) damage increased by 200%.

  • Shadowstrike, when used while Stealthed, now deals 25% increased damage (was 9%) and teleports you up to 25 yards behind your target. This does not happen while in Shadow Dance or during [Subterfuge].
  • [Shuriken Combo] is a new passive talent available at level 70: [Shuriken Storm] increases the damage of your next [Eviscerate] by 10% for each enemy hit beyond the first. Stacks up to 5 times.
    • Developers' notes: This aims to remove maintaining Nightblade on every target from your AOE rotation on 4+ targets. Instead, Subtlety will deal increased damage during AOE by focusing it into one target.
  • Shuriken Storm base damage increased by 67%.
  • [Sprint] now allows Subtlety Rogues to run over water. This is only possible when running forward.
