Tale of the sad kitty

Unheeded Warning now grants 1926 attack power, instead of 680 weapon damage.

This makes me a sad wannabe firekitty

I do have to admit it was a bit OP for druids. It had perfect synergy how feral druid weapons work.



According to a feral blog I read, it's about inline with other 359 trinkets. This means I'll likely start attracting celestial objects in a few days.

How does this change affect rogues?

In both PvP and PvE, it was scaling disproportionately for Feral druids, to the extent it's been more desirable than 4.2 items for a lot of players, including non-druids. We want the process of obtaining loot to still feel meaningful as new gear is released, so your character is still progressing in power along with the content to which the items are linked. This one just remained a little too good for its level and relative difficulty to obtain.

I think for rogues, AP scales better, since there are buffs to AP in raid. Weapon Damage is good, for all abilities that increase by % weapon damage (SiniSpam, Revealing Strike, Mutilate), but AP applies to everything (Eviscerate, Envenom). I may have some mistakes there, about abilities and such, but that's the gist of it, off the top of my head without adding in the research and napkin math.

How does this change affect rogues?

For mutilate rogues, I would imagine since 1 AP is worth 1 EP at full raid buffs and 1 haste rating/mastery is worth anywhere from 1.2 to 1.4 EP (depending on gear), Unheeded warning should remain ranking lower than Prestor's Talisman of Machination (same amount of agility, and 1926 haste for 15 secs), and Tia's Grace (285 mastery and up to 340 agility including some ramp up time for stack), and still way lower than Fluid Death.
