MoP: Shadow Walk concerns
|
For starters, another cooldown? Cata promised us less reliance on CDs and instead only received more.
Another concern that someone raised in the 2/15 Update forum: could this mean that stealth level may be going down, making detection easier? Meanwhile, we get a talent to bring stealth level back up. IMO, this mechanic should be rolled back into Vanish. What do you guys think of Shadow Walk? |

Yeah, I'd think Shadow Walk would be a Subt passive, like Feral Instinct.
And similar to Feral Instinct, not all specs would have access to it, since they don't benefit from it as greatly as Subt/Feral does. Combine that with old Vanish (+bandaid of unbreakableness) and we have a more reliable escape tool. Seems quite often that when I Vanish, they still see me from across the map unless I used it when I was behind them. |

Did they say they were removing the stealth bonus from Vanish? I haven't read anything about that. The way you should look at the introduction of this talent: "Yay! I can now counter Track Hidden and Consume Shadows!". On top of other uses. The full potential of this talent can't exactly be known yet. But, you should be expecting things to be better, not worse! I extremely doubt they would nerf our core mechanic. Would be like nerfing Energy regen to 9/1second. Wish they'd bring back Master of Deception. So, you want only Subtlety to have the better Stealth? I suppose it would be neat. Would make the spec "special" again. Since, it's losing most of it's guts in MOP. |

I thought they removed that with the release of Cata, along with all the +stealth bonuses? I'm probably wrong on that but since Cata, Vanish seems less effective at vanishing. |

Not breaking on damage right away is incredible. Being seen throughout the Vanish buff is not.
