This game can not be more balanced as it is.

And this is a trainable skill now, not even a talent. I mean, there's literally nothing a SPriest, Warlock, Non-Frost Mage or any other caster can do about this but wait to die. the only exception being Frost Mages who can Iceblock it out.Īnd I'm sorry if this comes across as 'QQ', but in my opinion there's something wrong when a class can kill anyone from a whole set of classes without them even having a chance of retaliation. Really, there's not much any caster can do against a rogue who uses this anymore. Not much of a help at all, especially since you'd be giving up a lot of stamina and resilience to pump your spell hit up that high and will be squishy as hell. Even if you are in raiding gear (bad idea for PvP anyway) and have 202 hit rating AND Suppression maxed out AND spell hit really did help penetrate Cloak of Shadows, you'd still end up with:Ĥ% (Base chance to miss) + 90% (CoS) - 16% (202 hit) - 10% (Suppression) = 68% chance to missĪnd 78% on any non-affliction spell. Suppression will only give you a 10% chance to hit headstart and only on Affliction spells.

(Just two ranks of Suppression gives you a 99% chance to hit against the same lv- the highest the game will allow)

I would think an afflict lock with Suppression maxed out would have a better chance at penetrating the CoS.
