A message from Cycao which I wholeheartedly agree with:
I totally agree with him and I'm kind of disappointed to see a return to the balancing method of "add cc until balanced"
We agree with you guys on this, I'm making a note and we will attach the whirlwind reduction in cast time to Lightning Charge, so you have to be a legit Madness assassin to get the instant.
I have smacked Tait to make sure he fixes the main patch note. It should be Mind Crush as I posted here, and not TKT

Thanks!
I can confirm that Force Shroud should no longer have a 5% to fail.

Hey Folks,
After the feedback gathered here, I wanted to tack on 2 more things we are planning on doing for the next patch refresh. Please consider these when adding feedback from this point on!
* Shapeless Spirit will now additionally make Mass Mind Control grant the Assassin 15%/30% damage reduction for 6 seconds
* Haunted Dreams whirlwind cast time reduction will only apply if the Assassin is rocking Lightning Charge
I still sort of want to do something with standing near your own Phase Walk for Madness Assassins in raids, but I'm 100% sure what, yet.

That's the plan! Some of the answers will probably reference changes going on here, but you should still get a response.

Ok, some more compiled changes that I'm looking to do.
* Bloodletting will now additionally have the following effect: Periodic damage over time effects finish the cooldown on Assassinate and allows it to be used on targets above 30% for 10 seconds. This effect can only occur every 10 seconds
* Mass Mind Control will now remote threat/detaunt when the assassin is in any stance other than Dark Charge. The PvP functionality will not change, regardless of charge
* Raze will no longer have a chance to proc, it will go off 100% of the time once the rate limit is up.
Special note about these 2 new DPS changes: We are going to have to watch the damage output here like a hawk (I haven't put in the changes yet, so we haven't even hit it with testing), and if this new rotation has too much DPS we will probably back off some of the numbers of the earlier changes, while keeping these new change.

Odd. I'll point my QA guys at this and see if they can figure out what is going on.

Hopefully rob is focusing on these posts like a hawk !
Trying! Lot of posts and feedback to go through, on top of discussing it with the team, on top of making the actual changes, on top of getting them tested

Let's try a different tract with this one, and let me totally open the table up.
What would you guys think would be really handy to have your Phase Walk do?

Also I'd take a slight nerf to damage if it meant putting maul back into the rotation.
It will still take a melee attack to proc, it just won't have the 60% any more, it will fire off on the first melee attack after the rate limit is up. I worded the original note slightly bad.

Hey everyone! Thanks for all your feedback so far, it's been really great!
We are now closing this thread until the next patch to the PTS so that we can get feedback on the changes made in the next iteration!
Again, thank you for all your great opinions, and we look forward to continuing this thread soon!
