Developers' notes: Since before the introduction of Rogue tanks, we've foreseen conditions where they become untouchable by melee attacks, and while this is core to the original Rogue tank fantasy, it's not sustainable or healthy. We're reducing avoidance and adding more consistency with damage reduction, so that Rogues can still tank, and we're increasing the incentives on wearing Defensive gear while decreasing the incentives for wearing damage gear. Players can use Main Gauche Main Gauche in situations where they feel they want to actively mitigate incoming damage, instead of using it to maintain a buff. We're planning to make additional adjustments to Rogue tanks, as well as to other classes and set bonuses in Ahn'Qiraj, prior to its release.

• Shield Mastery will now provide 4 Spell Power per point of Defense (was 2).
• Ahn'Qiraj Shaman tank set 2-piece bonus now also can trigger from Lava Burst and Molten Blast.
• Ahn'Qiraj Shaman tank set 4-piece bonus now also increases all threat generated by 20%, and all damage done by 10%.

• Haunt's duration increased to 15 seconds (was 12 seconds).
• Unstable Affliction's base damage (before spell power) increased by approximately 120% over its duration. Feedback damage from being dispelled remains the same.
• Ahn'Qiraj damage 4-piece bonus now increases Fire damage by 5% per stack, stacking up to 2 times (was 2% stacking 5 times).
• Ahn'Qiraj damage 2-piece now also increases Shadow Bolt damage by 10%, and now also allows Chaos Bolt to trigger the Improved Shadow Bolt talent.
• Ahn'Qiraj tank 4-piece now allows the effects of Demonic Sacrifice to persist while having a pet active, as long as the Warlock does not resummon the sacrificed pet. Warlocks may still only have one Demonic Sacrifice effect.
• Demonic Grace can be used while a Warlock has no pet active.
