I have checked all the vendors in wintergrasp now that i can get on. The Wintergrasp Commendation is only buyable with wintergrasp marks. There are none that are buyable with shards.

Also the Libram of Reciprocation Finally got changed over to Crital strike rating instead of haste.

Ambush was affected, but it won't be anymore.

Well not to sure if this was mentioned, but Glyph of Mend Pet just got better.

On live the first time you use mend Pet, your pet gets 20 Happiness (One Time)

On PTR, it's 20 Happiness every tick, so 5 ticks.

I didn't have the talents points into Improved Mend pet.

My pally likes that libram change, but why only Command? I use SoMartyr when I DPS, what good is that libram then?

I have an estimate on how good it is: no good.

Ironic, there's a blue post by GC saying "yes we know rogues need a pve buff to make up for us nerfing them instead of fixing bugs but we cant buff them at the moment as there doing quite well in pvp"

and now they take away 30% of our Ambush crit bonus,

so we're nerfed in pve (they said it) and now we're losing some burst in pvp

excellent

(and this isn't about rogues been op or not op, its just purely comical that blizzards left and right hand don't talk to each other)

Keep in mind Blizzard likes to test their new ideas on the Test Realms, so this is likely something that they might not be planning to implement live when this patch comes out, but maybe somewhere in the future where they have more Rogue changes in the future. Community Representatives have constantly reminded the community that everything on the Public Test Realms can change, and are never set in stone.

The only reason I can see for it now is PvP with SoC, but even then, there are better.

thats true, and they did state they'd look at rogue pve after .8, however its still ironic that they state "pve is bad, but pvp is good, so we can;t buff you for pve incase we buff you in pvp, then they slightly (and I mean the changes that you guys have't put up yet as Kodys sleeping) nerf our arena balance, especialy rogue ret combo

as I said i'm fine with the changes, rogues are good in pvp, but its just the reasoning they give falls short when they do things like this
