@w_Scoot @holinka It is intended that it always resets after a fixed amount of time, but it should be 18 seconds; we'll get this fixed.

Don't be surprised to see a change incoming that limits the targets eligible to use Glyph of Disguise on. Comment by fewyn The latest fad:Glyph of Disguise on bosses, then chilling in Stormwind.

Don't be surprised to see a change incoming that limits the targets eligible to use Glyph of Disguise on.Comment by phoenixx310 Tier 14 gear looks SOOO EPIC! I can't WAIT! Comment by Voltt Sets look awesome. Too bad my rogue is only 76 and I don't really like playing rogues. These changes are pretty enticing, though.

On another note: The change to Grimoire of Sacrifice is amazing! 20 min-->1 hour! Comment by defenseon Challenge mode gear looks great. Comment by DArcMattr I remember in BC raids, the locks all had the Demo/Destro build that made it so summoning a succy to sacrifice it, only to spam shadow bolts for the entirety of boss fights.

I'm not following the theorycrafting for locks, are we going to see contingents of pet-less locks now? Comment by Rankkor The latest fad:Glyph of Disguise on bosses, then chilling in Stormwind.

Glad I decided to play my feral instead...Comment by Anukai Why is there no difference between regular malevolent pvp gear and elite malevolent pvp gear?
in stats that is Comment by Lieandra I've been playing Rogue since... well... the beginning. And ever since BC I get this continuous feeling that they just don't know how to treat the class. Every change seems a bit dramatic to me. Nerf the hell out of several things and place a shiny "AXE" in it's place. Remove the ability to use poisons as you would like and place them as a shiny "SPELL" instead. I don't even compare other classes, as I don't play them in order to make any realistic arguments for them; but I haven't had the feeling that my Rogue is a Rogue for quite some years now. I can literally go through a whole instance without using any trademark abilities. Stealth? Sap? Disarm Traps? Even Cheap Shot has lost a lot of it's luster or need. Other classes that can now, basically, do the same Roguemark skills... A Vanish like ability shared... Really...? This includes Rogue H's.o.T. Where it gives so much more than just healing. What are bandages now for? Or the profession to make them? I'm essentially waiting for a patch day when my rogue will don Mail armor and wield a two-hander of some sort.

I'm not attempting to 'rant' or portray WoW in some exponentially negative light. Nor am I trying to troll a new update. But I read the posted comments and see so much delight within them that I begin to wonder 'how' is it possible. There seems to be so much homogenization with character classes now... that playing Rogue hasn't felt like I'm playing a Rogue. Comment by Atik Honestly? Shamans are sorta the same.

Every time a new expansion comes around, Shamans have a tendency to become an entirely different class. (Speaking as someone who leveled one in BC, Wrath, and Cata.)
