Yea Shinja noticed it to and im quite dissapointed with that.
As for someone metioning about FoK and the new proc of combat potency isent Fok a throw attack and not a melee attack ? I would think this is the case as it goes under Throwing spec.

And if i recall correct i skiped the T5 4set becasue it was such a low proc rate but i could be remebering wrong.

Unless this is wrong, which it certainly could be, the data mined so far shows some T9 gear as much as 32 item levels ahead of current T8. It appears most of the 25 man and badge rewards are sitting around item level 145, thus being a major upgrade to 226 tier and normal-mode loot. The 25 man hard mode loot (I assume) is at an amazing ilvl 258, see link.

On a more important note, let's hope it doesn't have a headpiece lookalike to Lord Voldemort.

This set-bonus will come straight down to proc-chance, it seems.

Whats a little more depressing is that HFB is not being changed. I would of expected this to be tampered with. If the scourge plays a key role in the bosses we'll most likely see less "Murder friendly" fights which will then keep Combat on top. I'm sure its a little early to say what fights will be better but I am concerned that the breaking point between the two specs being better over one another is based on one sole talent working or not. I think the assassination tree could use some work to make it more onpar with Combat in a better way than HFB and Murder's current implementation.

From the images that mmo-champ has up, the gear has not changed designs from T8, only color.
On the bright side, it is called "VanCleef's xx of yy"

They're placeholder graphics. There's also a tier set for both Horde and Alliance: the Horde set is "Garona's".

Its obviously speculation as its just names that are provided, but the achivements give some idea as to what will be Murderable. From the looks of it there will be a humanoid, followed by three beasts, an unknown (I'm thinking a Qiraji of some sort), two Val'kyr then the final boss, which could be anything from Scourge to the Black Knight.


* Call of the Crusade (10 player) - Defeat every boss in the Trial of the Crusader in 10-player mode: Gormok the Impaler, Acidmaw, Dreadscale, Icehowl, Lord Jaraxxus, Edyis Darkbane, Fjola Lightbane, Final Boss
* Upper Back Pain (10 player) - Defeat Icehowl with 2 Snobolds on the back of raid members in 10-player mode.
* Resilience Will Fix It (10 player) - Kill the enemy heroes within 60 seconds of each other in 10-player mode.
* Double Time (10 player) - Defeat the Twin Val'kyr within 2 minutes in 10-player mode.
* The Traitor King (10 player) - Kill 12,000 Swarm Scarabs with spikes in 10-player mode.

The new daily heroic (5 man) quest is to kill the Black Knight, so I assume he won't also feature in the Coliseum.

Combat Potency now affects all off-hand melee attacks.

vs

Combat Potency: Gives your successful off-hand melee autoattacks a 20% chance to generate 15 Energy.

When I first saw this I thought it meant that all offhand swings, regardless of success or not, would have a chance to proc combat potency. I'm guessing this would devalue hit over poison cap for combat rogues if this was the correct reading. How much of the hit EP is based off of increased combat potency procs?

Besides Shiv and FoK (and really, who cares?), I don't see how allowing yellow offhand attacks to proc combat potency would really matter to raiding rogues.

Combat Potency does not proc off FoK or shiv currently on test server. Also it does proc of Killing Spree off hand attacks now. I have not tested White offhand misses yet but will look into it

Also it looks like the set bonus on t9 is not active yet on test server

Edit
Actually Rupture seems to be proc'ing a buff called Unholy Strength which is 180str in the tool tip

Combat should get good benefit from the ArP and the extra 5% crit chance on SS. The extra expertise can allow Combat to pick up more utility talents and go 0/2 or 1/2 Weapon Expertise.
