It's Tuesday -- What happened to my rogue?

Neirai the Forgiven

Christian Guilds List Manager
These are the changes for your class in 5.0.4. This list is not exhaustive and does not include glyphs. It’s purpose is to enable you to quickly see what’s different with your class.

If a power isn’t mentioned, it probably hasn’t changed much. If a power is marked as available to all specs, it may be a talent or have been changed to a core class power. If a power is marked as removed, it may be completely gone or now only part of a glyph.


Rogue

Poisons now affect both weapons. You can have one Lethal poison (which deals damage) and one Non-lethal poison on your weapons at any one time.
All rogues now move 15% faster. This increase does not stack with other movement speed increases.
*NEW* Crimson Tempest -- a finishing move that causes all enemies near you to bleed.
*NEW* Shadow Walk -- a cooldown that temporarily increases your stealthiness, making you even harder to see.
*NEW* Shroud of Concealment -- an AOE stealth cooldown. It creates an aura that applies stealth to all your friends in the radius.
*NEW* Swiftblade's Cunning gives you and your raid members 10% attack speed.
Cheat Death is now available to all Rogues.
Quickening is now available to all Rogues.
Preparation is now available to all Rogues.
