(Just the thought of doing a PuG with voice chat gives me the creeps.)

WoW Patch 2.2

Now available on the World of Warcraft Public Test Realm, Patch 2.2 — patch notes.

Rogues: Sap duration against PvP targets has been reduced to 10 seconds.

NOOOOOOOOOoooooOOOOooooooOOOOO!

Goddamit. Where did that Developer Who Loves Rogues More Than Life Itself go?? He on vacation? I see that the Developer Who Conceptualized Lightwell And Will Defend Its Value To The Death is still at work, but where’s my rogue guy?

Actually, looks like everyone’s PVP crowd control abilities were dropped to 10 seconds, which is fair, but juggling two PVP targets in the battlegrounds was one of the few joys in my World of Warcraft life. Well, that and killing warlock pets.
