We're going to be doing a tuning pass on our dungeon and raid content to make sure that the point blank damage that Melee dps is taking (in particular rogues) isn't overly harsh.

For example, we'll be changing many monster cleaves to be a directional, 180 degree cone attack, rather than a 360 degree chain melee attack.

Expect these changes in a future patch. More details to come.

If they ever tell my story let them say that I walked with giants. Men rise and fall like the winter wheat, but these names will never die.

Any consideration on making more raid bosses pet-friendly?

Fix sap.

Rogues need to be able to justify their reduced utility with more damage, which apparently won't happen; therefore you must buff their utility.

TBH I dont really have too many complaints on raids. I think the amount of cleaves and aoes in raids are fine, theres usually enough healers to toss me a heal without the tank dying. Its 5mans, where positions are limited, where rogues are having problems.

This effects attunements.

That seems kind of vague. What about sap do you want fixed. It seems to work fine, as far as I can tell.

This is awesome to hear

One suggestion - maybe move the AoE avoidance talent into a more PvE-centric tree? It seems more useful there...

But at any rate, please for my guildmates at this announcement

Thank you!!!

Oh, and if you look at sap, please make it usable on mobs in combat. Then the rogue doesn't kill itself trying to CC untalented.
