thats irrelevant to the issue at hand.

If you altered a class spec mechanic then it could be argued for a respec.

Giving pets buffs and changing mob damage doesn't affect a class spec.


Anyway Blue has already stated that respecs will never be handed out regardless of what they do to the game, so there is no point arguing it.

Different ? Assassin don't have to respec, even with the fix, a CS spec is ok.
To compare you have to imagine the same case but with a broken CS spec. If the CS spec was giving only this huge bugged PA, and no other style, just imagine what would had became a CS specced assasssin after the PA bug fix ?
When a bug gives to a spec an advantage AND a drawbacks, fix only the "positive" bug is a little bit more annoying that fixing a bug in a spec that works perfectly.

I actually know of several assasins that spec'd lower on CS and got rid of perf in order to max their duel wield spec after the perf fix was done. The perf fix was almost EXACTLY what Lasa (the OP) posted on w/ SM. Where would you draw the line? Lets say they came out tomorrow and said they thought bow damage was to high for ranged stealthers and they lowered the values of it, or increased the block rate with shield users, would this constitute a free respec? Just because you and a few others perceive this fix as more impactful to an SM compared to changes to assasins or other classes the facts are it was a bug fix, not a nerf. These happen all the time and will continue to happen as they fix known bugs on the server. Where do you draw the line as to what deserves a respec and what does not?
