Following the weekly maintenance on January 15, 2026, we will be making the following changes to the Subtlety Rogue talent in the Titan Reforge server "Time":

Deathmark Damage dealt to players is reduced by 50%.

Improved Deathmark Now refreshes Rupture to the remaining duration from the last refresh, instead of using a snapshot system. Rupture is no longer always refreshed to the maximum duration based on 5 combo points.
Improved Ambush (Redesigned) Now increases Rogue damage by 2/4/6/8/10% (was 1/2/3/4/5%) and also reduces the energy cost of Fan of Knives by 2/4/6/8/10.
Shadow Mastery The instant damage component of Garrote granted by this talent no longer affects players.

Honor Among Thieves This talent is now limited to 1 rank. When a party or raid member (previously party only) critically hits with a damage or healing spell/ability, you have a 100% chance to gain 1 combo point (previously a 3-rank talent with 33%/66%/100% chance), and internal cooldown is adjusted to 1.25 seconds (was 1 second).

Additional Note To maintain balance among top-tier power levels, a Legendary Dagger will be introduced in a later phase.

Developer's message::

"You know, I never play the assassination rogue."

In addition, Blizzard and NetEase also announced the following changes coming to Hunter Pets:

After the weekly maintenance on January 8, the following changes will be applied to Spirit Beast taming mechanics on the Titan Reforged servers. When a Spirit Beast is being tamed by a Hunter:
The Spirit Beast cannot be killed.

The Spirit Beast cannot be taunted.

The Spirit Beast cannot be affected by Fear or any other control effects that would cause it to move or lose its target (the Hunter), with the exception of Freeze and Stun effects. While the Hunter is casting Tame Beast, the Spirit Beast will be locked onto the Hunter with 1,000,000 threat.

Depending on the testing results, the update time will be either January 8th or January 15th, 2026.

Developer's message:

Who isn't a baby at heart? All hunter pets should have the same right to participate in dungeons.
