• Steady Shot – now only gains 10% of attack power as damage (down from 20%).
• Volley – reduced the damage by about 30% for all ranks. Note that AE damage from many classes is very high right now and we are looking at all of them. Volley in particular had reached the point where some hunters were using it to the exclusion of most other attacks.
• Readiness – no longer affects the cooldown of Bestial Wrath.
• Deterrence – has been completely overhauled. It now allows you to deflect 100% of incoming melee or spell damage for 5 seconds, but prevents you from attacking while active. You still must be facing the attacker to deflect the damage (this is a limitation we are trying and might end up removing). 60 sec cooldown.
• Kill Shot – cooldown reduced to 15 sec (from 35 sec).
• Kindrid Spirits – now only grants 3/6/9/12/15% pet damage.
• Serpent’s Swiftness – now only grants 2/4/6/8/10% bonus attack speed to pet.
• All hunter pet abilities with a cooldown longer than 30 sec have been moved off the global cooldown.
• Growl— threat generation increased by 20% (same for Voidwalker Torment).
• Call of the Wild – now benefits only the hunter and his or her pet.
• Rake and Scorpid Poison – slightly nerfed to bring them into line with other pet abilities.
• Spirit Strike – reduced the period on the dot so it will work better with Longevity.
• Improved Tracking – now benefits damage to all included creature types as long as you are tracking one of them. You don’t have to swap around what you are tracking as much.
• Aspect of the Wild – now raid-wide.

This was 25 man normal. I looked at all the top WWS and I didn’t see any 4500 Rogues. I was basically higher than the top Rogue on the #1 kill. How the hell are these other Rogues cranking out 5,000 dps with Ass/Com/Sub?

It started with a lone Rogue and a fishing pole. A young undead Cambodian came by to investigate and joined in, gave me some company.  Another guy came buy and lit a fire. I noticed people riding by on mount actually turning, stopping and looking as if this sight was so different it had to be taken in. It may have been the most genuine moment of in game bonding I have seen since 2004.
