Patch 1.5 Changes - Discuss

Well patch 1.5 is out and with it comes the much anticipated Battlegrounds as well as some bug fixes and other changes for each class. Some classes received what they will refer to as "Nerfs" others got really nice buffs to their class. The Rogue got some minor changes listed below:

  • Riposte - Fixed a bug where the ability was not usable against a disarmed or unarmed target.
  • Vanish - Should be a lot more responsive when used to avoid incoming attacks.
  • Sitting characters will now stand up immediately after an attack, even if stunned.
  • Alchemy Rogues - Restorative Elixir name changed to Resorative Potion with potion cooldown timer. Functionality has been changed so it should be more effective as it now dispels one harmful effect every 5 seconds for 30 seconds.

I have yet to try out patch 1.5 yet but assume that its gonna be a good one. I have heard good and bad about battlegrounds and I am sure that they will be fun. However I would like to know what people think about the changes to Riposte, Vanish, and Restorative Elixer? Are they more effective now? Does Vanish "break" less? and is Restorative Potion a greater asset to rogues or has its effectiveness been nerfed? We as rogues can only be disappointed about the nerf to stunning people who are sitting down. This effectively nerfs our ability to get 100% crit on the sitting target for 4 seconds. Personally I would rather be nerfed this way then to have one of our main abilities nerfed I suppose. We will still crit our opener which is good and im sure some rogues with prep / coldblood won't even notice the change.
