I take it you didn't read the post I made on the page before discussing the implications of this change in terms of weapon speed. Try not to ask questions that have already been explicitly answered.

This is somewhat true already, and I suspect it's only going to become more true with this change. And thus, nothing changes at all, as if we're only speccing 1 or 2 points into Master Poisoner, it makes no difference in needing to time our Envenoms, and makes little to no DPS difference as well. Which means that I'm not sure that this change really makes any difference at all from a practical perspective, save for enabling a "lazy rogue" spec/cycle - which is inferior by a relatively small amount and somewhat easier, thus enabling competitive if not optimal DPS for those who are not interested in doing what's actually optimal.
Hello Aldriana,

And what about specing 3/3 in master Poisoner now giving you the possibility to hold a slow OH ? Would the loss in energy regen be neglected by the increased mutilate damage ?
