Patch notes are up.

I was calling Sav out, but it worked for both of you lol. Probably for many others too actually now that I stop and think.

Yes, "Sap" could have been cut on the editing floor. It might show up, it might never appear at all. You just never know. Having never been actively in the game though, I don't think you can call the skill "removed."

Ohh a semantic war

It still looks realistic that they decided not to include it if you consider that they re-adjusted the potency of the current crowd control actions in the patch.

Probably balance issues associated to that "Sap" ability being too powerful in dungeons or boss fights.
