Still 0 Sub Rogue bug fixes or balance updates.
We have over 20 bugs and fundamental issues with the rotation—especially in AoE. We’re currently one of the worst DPS specs in the game. Shuriken Storm’s energy cost is now a joke. It should be 35 energy, just like it was before. We can’t even spam it because we’re constantly out of energy. What kind of loop is this??
Deepening Shadows should reduce Shadow Dance’s cooldown by 1 second, not 0.5, for a smoother and more satisfying gameplay experience.

Hah! I’ve been having an issue lately with skyriding, I was so annoyed, it got to the point where I had to realize that Blizzard never intended for us to able to recharge vigor while flying at low speeds, so now, whenever I run out of vigor I literally just land my mount and wait for the vigor to recharge.
Even though I was sure we could fly close to the ground to recharge some vigor.

This is why I love reading patch notes.
