Yea, let's lower the cooldown on kick. I mean it's only 5 seconds lockdown every 10secs. And us rogues DO struggle so. And it's not like we have any other interupt effects like KS, Gouge, Blind, CS, Garotte, DT, Macestun + a never ending pushback stream only bettered by a hunter.

The riposte change is a straightout nerf PVP-wise, which is a great shame. At points I've given up ShS to gain riposte and sweeping strikes - and the tradeoff is quite sensible still.
With 20% slower attack speed...it'll be useful but nowhere near like it was. It's both a sensible change and a shame.
I don't see the PVE side being that useful, either. Unless you're levelling or grinding, the mob shouldn't be hitting you for you to perform a parry anyhow. Most other mobs will die long before this is largely useful.

And no vanishing powder is great news. 20 powders? I honestly didn't think anyone just kept a single stack in their bag. I've got 200-odd of them on me right now. It's not like I'm going to use them in a single sitting, but it's nice not to have to run to the vendor each and every time i want to do anything.

Lowering Gouge talent points is a huge change when you consider the versatility of the skill and how accessible it is. I try to include it in all my builds, so lower cost is a big saving. The kick cost being lowered is just common sense. Noone in their right mind will spend 1 point there instead of 2.
Same goes for imp.sprint, though...
