In Blizzard's notes
What Blizzard said about Sap, each line checked against the files.
- Matches the files
Sap now correctly flags the Rogue for PvP when used on a target that is PvP flagged.
The files Build 70009 gave all 3 Sap ranks (6770, 2070, 11297) the flag that PvP-flags the caster (Attributes_3 0x1).
- Matches the files
Sap: Using this ability no longer breaks Stealth.
The files All three Sap ranks gained the 'does not break stealth' attribute flag that Distract carries (Attributes_1 0x20), and the tooltip ends with 'Does not break Stealth.' Classic's Sap had neither.

Dirty Tricks: Formerly Improved Sap. Moved from row 4 up to row 2. (Redesigned.) Sap never breaks Stealth now baseline. Instead, this talent reduces the Energy cost of Sap and Blind by a substantial amount.
The files Dirty Tricks (1224782) is Subtlety row 2 and cuts Sap and Blind Energy costs by 25/50% (Sap 65, Blind 30). Improved Sap, Classic's row 4 talent with a 30% chance to restealth, is gone, and Sap's tooltip says 'Does not break Stealth.'
