[WoW] Warning! High probability of bullshit
These are (hah, right) supposedly the Rogue talents that will be added in The Burning Crusade.
Fleetfooted is a rank 4 talent that gives us up to a 10% chance to resist movement debuffs and +8% speed. Compare that to the existing rank 3 Hunter talent Surefooted which gives them 15% chance to resist movement debuffs and +3% hit. I don't know about you, but I'd rather have the +3% to hit. I can get the +8% speed through a cheap enchant.
Surprise attack finally gives us a move that can't be dodged or parried, but for a Talent that requires 40 points in Assassination, you'd think it do more then 100% damage.
Nerves of Steel, huh? Still 5% less then "Nerves of Priest".
And for the final insult, Sinister Calling is more expensive then the Hunter version of Lightning Reflexes, and does less. Yay.
Hopefully, a lot of this is pipe dreams and/or will be changed by the time BC comes out.

Before this goes any further, I just want to say, I think these talents are pretty much complete bullshit. Release of the expansion is still months off, for one thing, some of these talents are way too strong, and others are too weak for post-60 talents.
I wouldn't mind Cheat Death, for example, but I don't think it's going to happen. (Of course, with my luck, it will happen, but I'll have spec'd back to Combat daggers.)
