[BUG] Rogue Combo Points

[Slimybone]

I played rogue all through vanilla retail and this was simply not the case. Combo points only got reset when you built new ones. They also persisted on corpses until they despawned, dont know if thats the case now.
There is absolutely no way simply deselecting a target would cause you to lose all combo points.

Deselecting a target does not cause you to lose your CP. It did on retail during EARLY vanilla.
Afterwards, you lost your CP only is you selected a NEW target, just like here. It was like this until BC.

Please stop saying bullshit guys.

It's actually game breaking really, needs fixing asap. How it currently stands is 100000% not correct.

Combo points shouldn't be lost upon reselecting a target without dealing more than auto attack damage (generators)

Please just use Google for 2s before making wrong statements :

"Combo points added to a target should not be reset until you add a combo point to a different target."

You can also check 781Z78 videos from retail Vanilla where you can see this is true.
In early Vanilla, you would even loose your combo points just by deselecting your target, instead of selecting another as of 1.12.

This will never be fixed, because it's not a bug.

Pardon my senile ramblings.
I stand corrected.
I just don't remember it working like that ever.
Is this a "feature" we want though?
I take it the vanilla prepatch to tbc, when you could buy High Warlord stuff for honor, implemented the change?
This is one blizzlike feature I hate.

The 2.0 was BC pre patch, it wasn't Vanilla, it was de facto TBC.

And Yes, we want CP to work that way. Otherwise every class will want something that was more "convenient" in BC.

Who cares if you hate it, when it's working as intended it doesn't matter if someone hates it or not, it shouldn't be changed. I hate the fact that epic riding skill is expensive as hell. Should we change that? No we shouldn't.

I haven't taken the time to find more proofs (I will) but in this video from retail (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT9HDKs3vGM) you can see at 8min17sec that he switches target to blind, switches back and still has his combo points on the first target.

This just proves the video was recorded after 2.0.3 release in December 2006 buddy, nothing more. The video was uploaded to YouTube in 2011 btw,and we can see at 10'36 that the duration of cc's are caped to 12s in PvP (changed with 2.0).

Try again .

Nice explanation Youfie. I'm not a rogue player myself, but I think you are entirely right in light of the links you provided.
