Rogue

Distract now explicitly reduces affected enemies' Stealth detection as though they were one level lower for 10 seconds, in addition to turning their attention. It still does not break Stealth. That extra detection reduction can make passing a distracted pack easier, although positioning and target level remain important.

The preview explicitly states that Sap does not break Stealth. The target must still be a Humanoid outside combat, only one target can be sapped, and damage breaks the effect. This makes the baseline setup more reliable without implying that Sap can be used on a target already fighting.

Rogues gain access to one-handed axes in Forever. The new Hack and Slash talent explicitly groups axes with swords, providing a talent interaction as well as another weapon option. This evidence does not establish access to two-handed axes.

The demo shows higher damage at every combo-point count, but Eviscerate explicitly scales with attack power, so the two tooltips are not a controlled balance comparison. These are observed tooltip differences, not a verified untalented balance change: character level, talents, gear or demo scaling can alter the displayed result. Final base values need a controlled comparison.
