I was pretty underwhelmed by these changes, but that's mostly because I'm a PVE Rogue. The 81 spell will maybe help trash go down a little faster (when it's not just FOK spam) and might help on the occasional boss but a minute cd seems a little long.

The 83 spell also won't help that much since almost all raid damage is spell and we already have feint to mitigate that and we have much better tools to hit if we accidentally overaggro than this.

Smoke Bomb might get an occasional use but to be honest I can see it being one of those spells that causes more problems than it saves, with such things as hiding that you or your targets are standing in fires. Bear tanks might like it for its LOS nature but tbh Blizz won't design around this and most tanks don't want to leave something like this up to DPS who often don't know what they're doing (and bears might get a ranged silence anyway, who knows?)


With all that said though, I understand that these changes will be great for PVP and since wrath gave us two amazing PVE abilities but only 1 amazing PVP ability it's nice for them to get some love.
