Patch 2.4 Notes - Preliminary

Obligatory Frozen reference should've been named "The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway." :p

The one thing I really didn't like about Ninja is you can only use 3 of your abilities once per boss. First off you can only hide while out of combat. Sneak attack and Trick can only be used while under the effect of hide. Basically you open up with one of them then you can't use SA and TA for the rest of the fight because you can't hide while you are in combat.

You can always just drop dead, get rezzed, the pop a hide, since technically you're still out of battle for a short couple of seconds until you're either touched, or you touch the boss.

Please let there be another way to get the Encrypted Tomestone than just a single drop from T1X each week, waiting 4 weeks to have a chance to roll on it after all the dps had gotten theirs was really annoying.

You can bet it will be the same as 2.2

Another thing that I haven't seen mentioned, these patch notes do not appear to include traits. It wouldn't even be unprecedented for there to be a trait to remove that restriction. "Raise cannot be used in battle" I'm looking at you.

So I'd guess there will be some sort of quest to take it to ilvl 120.

Problem with that is that you end up with the Ironworks weapons being dead (useless) on arrival. Holding off and having an upgrade to 125 in 2.45 and 135 in 2.55/2.58 allows the i120 and i130 weapons to maintain a place on the upgrade path come 2.5.

iirc, they were saying on the stream during fanfest that they are fixing it so you stay in combat when rezzed
