Patch 1.7 Test Realms Are Up!

[Quark]

First, the weapon switch thing is going to hurt a lot of people.  I know my druid will hate it, since I use mods to switch between weapons when I shapeshift.  No more bear'n'charge or cast'n'grasp. :(

I agree with the weapon swapping change.

I don't think they did enough to slow Rogues down, though. Many Rogues do their most damage by Ambushing with a dagger, hitting a quick macro, then Sinister Striking the rest of the way. Given Ambush takes 60 Energy, you can do an Ambush, wait a second, Weapon Swap, wait a second, and you've lost nothing because you simply allowed energy regen to kick in. Now you have 60 energy instead of 40 when you start SS spamming.

This, in a sideways method, deals partly with one of my complaints as a Rogue - it's too easy for a combat Rogue to get nearly the same benefit out of Ambush as a dagger Rogue.
