The patch will bring cross realm battlegrounds, world PvP and the long awaited Rogue Review. I will link the Patch Notes tomorrow when they are online.

Rogue Talent Review for Patch 1.12

Here is some information and links about the upcoming rogue changes in patch 1.12.

Finally there is a little buff for us rogues, but I am not 100% sure how I will finally set my talents. The changes are less than I expected, since they left out a buff for Sinister Strike and I am not happy at all with Vanish, Blind and Adrenaline Rush.
