I feel a little silly posting this one, since it feels like there’s virtually nothing worth talking about — besides how sad it makes me to see how snide people on the Web can be in so few characters with so little cause.
@EvilAipac One ability compared to another ability doesn't scale to one class' comparison to another. It's about the whole package.

I mean, really, dude(tte)? I get you’re passionate about the game and you want our class to 1) do well and 2) feel unique from other classes. And I think the discussion about ways in which ferals and rogues are similar — and whether it’s “fair” for ferals to do certain things better than rogues can — is an interesting one to have. But there are way better ways to express your concerns about cross-class imbalances than by sprinkling a miasma of bitter, accusatory sarcasm on top of it.
This person, incidentally, appears to have just created this account a little over a week ago and, from a quick look at the tweet history, has been almost entirely using it to repeatedly shred into Ghostcrawler for what he (apparently personally) did to rogues in this expansion. Somebody needs a serious bunch of huggy wuggies.

When I tweeted this blog entry, GC responded:
@SvelteKumquat I wasn't commenting on RvD, but on comparing one ability in a vacuum to another. R talents in 5.2 prob have the most changes.

The first part of that tweet is a fair clarification, though I’m not gonna change the title of this post. :) The second part appears mostly unrelated to the rest of the conversation (well, beyond the thematic tie-in of @EvilAipac’s general “I’m pissed about rogues right now and want to see changes” tone), and raises my virtual eyebrows about just how deep the upcoming changes are going to go for our humble little class.
