Agree on the Sap target and the group’s utility Curse before the first pull. Blizzard’s Rogue and Warlock deep dive also makes checking both weapon effects worthwhile before leaving town.

Rogue: settle control before the tank moves

Blizzard’s Rogue preview says Sap no longer breaks Stealth.

Mark the enemy and tell the tank which target to leave alone.

Rogue poisons can coexist with temporary weapon enchantments such as sharpening stones and weightstones.

Check both weapons if your preparation still assumes those effects are mutually exclusive.

Warlock: separate damage from utility

Curse of Agony and Curse of Doom are now Banes. Each Warlock can place only one Bane on a target. Curse of the Elements now covers all magic damage, and Curse of Shadows is removed.

Confirm the utility assignment with any other Warlock in the group.

Firestone and Spellstone weapon imbues can coexist with temporary weapon enchantments such as Wizard Oil.

Check the imbue and temporary enchantment separately before the group moves.

Reopen the corrected preview before copying talents

Nethaera corrected the Rogue deep-dive summary to identify Blade Flurry as the Combat cleave ability.

If you copied an early summary that named a different ability, revisit the original before turning it into a build. A corrected explanation is not evidence that a new patch has arrived.

Use the dated Rogue guide or Warlock guide for the author’s actual recommendations. Read its stated level before importing a build: a level-30 suggestion does not provide a level-60 allocation. Check that the linked calculator agrees with the guide before attributing those points to its author.

October 22 correction: The Rogue calculator and Warlock calculator now include the revised October 15 trees and subsequent bounded corrections. Some tooltip values still lack verified level and scaling context, including talents without a warning. The October 4 snapshot discussed when this article was published is historical; older shared links still retain their original talents and points. This correction does not mean a creator has refreshed or endorsed an older build.

October 23 update: Blizzard has closed the beta. These partial snapshots do not verify final launch values. Recheck values and scaling in game when it opens; see name reservation and launch details for the next access window.

Pick the dungeon, settle the control and utility jobs, and check your weapon effects before the first pull.
