|---|---|---|
| Hit | Missed attacks lose threat. | Measured at launch Unverified |

New and changed stats
- Haste exists in Forever: Blizzard lists it on the Skyborne racial Wind Blessed (+1% melee, ranged and spell haste), on Spellstone and on Nature's Grace. Confirmed
- Expertise (less dodge and parry) is reported by beta players as a replacement for weapon skill. Blizzard's posts only mention a Rogue talent, Weapon Expertise, that reduces dodge and parry. Unverified
