    [PvP] Are Rogues hurting as bad as it looks?

    How are you guys doing so far a week into season 12? Is this merely an issue of scaling and as time goes on you will regain your throne, or are there to many legendary rerollers clogging up the innerwebs, OR are rogues really hurting when it comes to pvp? I only ask, as I am currently playing a warrior, and I can feel the nerf bat rolling and would rather play the "underdog" class that can only go up! Thank you for reading!

    I do pretty good in BGs against people with no resilience.

    We're pretty screwed by design, not so much by scaling.

    It depends what PVP. I'm killing people in a stunlock in BGs, but I'm vastly overgearing them. But when it comes to skilled and geared players (arenas), I'm suffering from lack of mobility and sometimes I see my HP totally disappear in a stun. Also, damage outside Shadow Dance/Find Weakness blows.

    As Incineration says, it's not really about scaling. Of course they can extend the duration of Find Weakness to a full minute, this would make us super powerful, but the design would still blow due to Blizzard being lazy when it came to design talent trees or even glyphs.

    Rogues have been brought down to the realm of mortals. The humanity!

    Now you know how it's like to be balanced and needing skills for pvp. Or rather you don't know, as most rogues rerolled warriors and hunters to continue to be op.

    By the way, Ecliptium is rank #1 on 3s, 67-10, partnered with a resto shaman and a BM hunter.

    But what happens when Ecliptium doesn't have a BM hunter by his side?



    250k damage in 4 minutes.

    3 minutes 50 seconds of being kited around and 10 seconds of DPS time, sounds about par for course.

    Plus absorbing shields. Ice Barrier vs no purge = Very powerful.

    I love rogues current state. Finally they cant fk you up in a stun anymore. But just give it a few weeks and the tears will be flooding blizzards head quarters and buffs will come

    Rogues are still the best class for control and utility. They will still be viable in high end arenas because of this.

    ?

    (It's updating very slowly, but as I have been saying all around, check Vanguards or Reckful's streams to see how few rogues they face. Only Ecliptium is around)

    I promise you that Second Wind is not going to be nerfed. If anything, burst is, which is also really ambiguous at this point because of how ridiculous Warrior damage distribution in PvE is at the moment. Of course, Blizzard could just carpet bomb the class into uselessness again, but I really would not count on it.

    But yeah, it doesn't feel so good does it? This was what Rogues were like for nearly 2 years. However, I am glad to know you were crying yourself to sleep over it, it helps relieve the pain.

    So you are just playing some theorycraft here.
    welcome to the club

    the club where everyone tells you your class isn't underpowered and everyone else is overpowered
    the club where you don't know how to play and are terrible
    the club where your opinion is invalid because the game isn't balanced around 1v1 and you're competitive in 3v3 based on someone's opinion that has never played your class above 2k or 2200 at any point in the game's history. And Also plays one of the Flavors of the Month. Most likely a Mage or a Ret Paladin. Maybe a Warrior, since they are still mad about Cataclysm and thought they got good in Mists.

    that being said

    rogues could use some buffs

    because i don't see enough of them to exact my butthurt upon their assholes.

    afraid to say they're not the best class for control any more by a long way. Everything is on a pretty long cooldown (blind 3 min cd, vanish 3min cd) and more classes have ways of breaking cc without trinket now. Honestly they are in a bad state IMO but a good rogue will still be able to do something with it, a mediocre/bad one (like me :P) will be able to do little with it - still fun to play though!
