WoW TWW 11.0.5 Patch Notes - All Rogue Changes

World of Warcraft The War Within is getting its first major patch coming alongside WoW's 20th Anniversary event. Not only will players be able to dive deep into the nostalgia of the MMORPG but they will also score some cool new loot, and cosmetics and get to experience a revamped dungeon. 

Aside from the festivities, a lot of major PvE class balancing will also be implemented for the classes in the game, as we will go over the massive update Rogues will receive when the 11.0.5 patch rolls out. 

WoW 11.0.5 Rogue Class Changes

• New Talent: Thrill Seeking – Shadowstep(Assassination/Subtlety)/Grappling Hook(Outlaw) has 1 additional charge.
• New Talent: Supercharger – Shiv/Roll the Bones/Symbols of Death supercharges [1/2] combo points. Damaging finishing moves consume a supercharged combo point to function as if they spent 2 additional combo points. 2-point talent.

Developer's note: It is intended that Supercharger's bonus count towards any ability that scales with combo points spent and not just the damage value of finishing moves. Examples include Rupture's duration, Poison Bomb's effect chance, Restless Blades' cooldown reduction, and Flagellation's lashes dealt.

• New Talent: Forced Induction – Increase the bonus granted when a damaging finishing move consumes a supercharged combo point by 1.
• Echoing Reprimand has been redesigned – After consuming a supercharged combo point, your next Mutilate/Sinister Strike/Backstab strikes with an Echoing Reprimand dealing Physical damage.
• Thistle Tea now automatically drinks when Energy falls below 30.
• Cut to the Chase now grants Slice and Dice duration, instead of requiring an existing Slice and Dice to extend.

• Edge Case now flips a Fatebound Coin on its edge when you activate Deathmark/Adrenaline Rush instead of your next finishing move after activation.

Trickster

• Coup de Grace now correctly attributes its combo point bonus to abilities that are affected by number of combo points spent, including numerous finishing moves and passives, similar to the function of the Supercharger talent.
