Rogues get some breathing room: mobs cleave 180 only

Well, Priests still raise their voices over claimed nerfs, but Rogues get to go home with the prom queen – er, get to go home happy with this report from Blizzard.

Tigole blue-posted in the World of Warcraft forums that, in response to concerns that Level 70 Heroics and raids are too tough on Rogues (among others), the little gnomish engineers that populate Blizzard’s warrens hare mixing things up a bit. “For example, we’ll be changing many monster cleaves to be a directional, 180 degree cone attack, rather than a 360 degree chain melee attack.” Should leave a “zone of vulnerability” that Rogues could exploit, what with their skills like Vanish and seduction. Er, did we just say “seduction”?

Perhaps Rogues do get to date the prom queen. (Oh, and to clarify, seduction is an evil power only available on Valentine’s Day, not during raids.)
