• Legacy Changes and Legacy lists

Mechanical Changes
These are misc changes not specifically tied to any one skill but change how you play and use skills

Crit Chain Revamp

The critical chain has been shortened down from 3 to 2 skill chain but the cooldowns have been reduced too.

Burglar's advantage is now called gamblers advantage and has new effects.
(Gamblers advantage is Tier 2 of the Gambler line so any spec can get it if you choose to)
(Gamblers advantage has a stack-able dot that lasts 15s)

Your critical chain should look something like this:
Crit -> Double-edged strike / Gamblers Advantage -> finisher

many cooldowns and animations have been revamped / reduced and changes the feel of this fast rotation a lot!

Short Version

Quiet Knife

Slip past your enemies as The Quiet Knife and stalk
enemies with composed cunning.
The Quiet Knife relies on Critical Attack skill-chains,
ready to escape into shadow at a moment’s notice.

ROLE: Premium Stealth Class, High Burst Damage, medium Utility, medium Survival, medium Crowd Control

Gameplay: An assassin to quickly take down even the largest of foe's. The Quiet Knife does increased Positional Damage and his Critical Response skills do insane damage. With fast rotations and short cooldowns the Quiet Knife must know his skills in detail as doing so will reward the Burglar with a heal-over-time chance on critical hit with Relish Battle. In a group with a tank holding aggression the Quiet Knife can perform Vital Target and decrease the enemies critical defense to aid himself and allies.

The Mischief Maker

Become a master of debuffs and disables as The Mischief-maker.
Fight multiple targets and support your fellowship by trading
burst damage for an arsenal of Trick and Trick-removal buffs.

ROLE: High Debuffing, High Crowd Control, High Utility, High Survival, medium healing

Gameplay: Trick and Trick removal skills are an important part of this tree. Early on you will able to reduce the cooldown of your trick removal skills with Perplexing Proposition. Planning how you will use Clever Retort can be important as it has a different effect depending on which trick will be removed. The Mischief Maker tree provides viable solo play, but appears to be aimed at group play. Tricks can cripple enemies, applying and removing them will provide additional effects like restoring power and morale of fellowship members and stunning the target. You can also opt to use Opportunist and Subtle Stab to gain quicker access to your trick removal skills again as Subtle Stab reduces the active cooldown on the trick removal skills.

The Gambler

Put everything on the line in battle using skills with a random
element that demands you and your enemies to react.
Quick wits combined with buffs and debuffs make or break victory.

ROLL: High Sustain Damage, High Utility, High Survival, medium Crowd Control

Gameplay: The Gambler replies on high damage-over-time skills and Damaging Gamble to overwhelm enemies. He is great at causing CJ's to heal moral or power, or just deal a lot of damage. Gamblers who are proficient in understand their debuff durations and cooldowns can cripple enemies with there Debuffing Gamble and keep it up (with some luck on his side). if your lucky and evade an attack The Gambler gets a heal-over-time from bob and weave and even unlocks his critical chain.

Generally a pretty solid description of the class as-is.

Naturally, there are still changes which are going into the class, so this will need updating as we come to additional beta builds.

so yeah! hopefully this will be the "community guide" after launch ^_^ thx rock!

Thanks for taking the time to compile this. I feel it will be very helpful for players when HD hits to have someone already able to go 'here's what changed and how'.

Well done!

Is there any way to get this over to the live forums?

(Now that the NDA is lifted, this would be great to have for those worried about the changes)

> Enrage no longer confuses target

How does Enrage work now? Does it just cause ranged attackers to use melee?

I use it quite often to pull a mob away from the group (the enraged mob typically tries to attack me first, and I stun him or riddle him once he's out of the mix). And I use it to pull mobs off the healer. It sounds like it won't work for either of those uses any more . :(

> Clever Retort - effect depends on what trick was removed

Since tricks can stack, which trick is removed if there are more than one?

Psst. It, and your request, are live. :)

Since Exposed Throat and Trip are now in the trees, should we expect to see far fewer FMs? Not that it matters much I guess, since few people even bother contributing to them any more. I usually wait until they are about to trigger, and pick blue just to restore some power.

I think making Trip a QK skill probably makes sense, but making Exposed Throat a tier 5 Gambler skill seems to take away a rather iconic burg skill.

In any case, FMs need to be significantly improved (hopefully), or just removed from the game (which would be a real shame).

Can anyone explain (or link to an explanation of) how the new aggro works?

Since we can't Provoke or Enrage to affect aggro any more, is it hard to avoid getting aggro?

Does Startling Twist still remove up to three corruptions, even though we have a Purge Corruption skill now?

I'll try to answer some of your questions, but I can't double check (at work).. so take these with a grain of salt.

Enrage is now solely used as a debuff trick. It does not cause ranged targets to enter melee.
Since Reveal Weakness (or was it Counter Defence?) has been reduced in effectiveness, applying Enrage onto a target will bring it back to pre-HD effectiveness.

A little Beta History, these two skills were originally flipped.
In the early stages Trip was part of the Gambler line, and Exposed Throat part of the QK line.. there was enough constructive feedback to suggest that Trip would be fairly useless in the Gambler Line (only useable out of stealth or after HiPS), so it was moved to QK (where it can used with Feint Attack more often).

The argument (or feedback) for making Exposed Throat a Gambler skill is due to it only being a chance to open a FM.. much more Gambler-esque.

As far as I was aware, no changes were made to FM's potency.

Rick, You da man!

Thank you very much to both of you!

So Location is Everything, Well-Placed Strike, and Confound are now gone? I only intermittently play a Burg, in early Moria currently, but I know all of those have class Traits associated with them--what happens to those (since if I recall there are still 24 class traits to earn, with every 3 traits giving a trait point)? In particular, I'm wondering if I need to make a concerted effort to finish the Location is Everything deed, since a concerted effort would be the only way it got finished before launch. :P

---

Once we're told specifics, I'm sure it'll be right out in the open. As far as I know right now from what has been said, aggro is pretty much based on what are passive abilities in certain builds for certain classes. If that class gets aggro, it holds aggro. So there's no tussle for aggro meant to be there. In theory. Maybe. Guard forums may have more snippets because I stopped trying to follow in depth once I found out I wasn't meant to worry myself about it on any class I play.

For those traits where the skills no longer exist, they'll be changed to reflect a new skill (or something as simple as "use crit chain skills x times").

None of them looked particularly hard to complete (I think I only have one remaining in Beta.. on live I have at least 2 left to complete).

If you want to finish it up before HD Launch, go for it.. it would mean you'll have more points to play with.

Even if you don't complete it before launch you won't be punished, you'll simply have to complete the new version.

I like the changes so far to the burglar, it seems that the class is finally getting some of the attention it deserves.

It's going to be interesting to run my Burgs, considering i'm going to have to start paying a bit more attention to my rotations than I used to.

Judging from the way the Points will be spent, this is almost exactly like building my Rogues in DDO.

Oh Flashing Blades. Animation. Thank you.

I, personally, am very fond of my Beta Gambler Burg.. I've actually grown to prefer it over my current Live version (other than the fact Disable Gambles aren't functioning properly in Beta, and there's still some tweaking necessary).

Beta MM plays similarly to the current Live Burg.

And Beta QK.. well.. I think it needs a little more tweaking than the other 2 lines.
