Drysc, may I respectfully ask what is the logic behind keeping our abilities fixed and not scaling?
I would very much like to know the Dev's thoughts on this subject.
Do they plan on putting other finisher books in game as we progress with gear so that an ability such as evicerate or rupture will comprise a constant percentage of our dps> (this assuming the evicerate book that you commented on is tuned to someone in BWL/AQ40 loot rather than Naxx level gear)
If not, what is the logic for our finishers playing a lesser role in our overall damage as we progress through the game, is it damage balance or another unforseen reason?

The specific thought process for Eviscerate came after a lot of testing the ability and how far it could be scaled respective to the damage output. Theoretically it could be scaled and only provide rogues at the very top end with a marginal improvement, meanwhile everyone else is left with a less poweful ability.
In the end, giving a base increase is going to end up adding more damage than it would have if we scaled the ability, and thus the change was made. Specific work and thought was put into attempting to scale the abilities, but the end product was not enough of an improvement just so it could be said that it scales.
We are building a forum of extraordinary magnitude.
