The only time you take something other than a rogue for a melee slot is a.) niche utility or b.) whichever melee has temporary OP dps. In lieu of these reasons, all you see is rogues. To give them back gouge on top of their current supremely powerful kit would be adding insult to injury to classes like warrior, for example.

    So while I agree rogues should have gouge, I completely understand why they don't.
    Go ahead and prune Shroud. It's nu-Rogue cancer. It breaks the class in M+ and holds us back in every other game mode. It's not a classic, iconic Rogue ability like Gouge. Gouge has been my "4" keybind since I dinged level 6 back in 2005. It is truly iconic. Shroud is stupid and cancerous.

    I think you missed the other 70% of my post.

    I explained why I agree with what you just said.

    ...and I kind of agree that it's a problem but I think it's more of a "treating the symptom rather than the disease" problem with WoW. When most classes aren't good at anything anymore, rogue stands out as the class that's still good at something.
    I thought this made the point kind of obvious. Rogues only seem like they have an overloaded kit because they're probably the only class that hasn't been neutered to shit when it comes to other design elements.

    I agreed with the rest of your post, which was why no further comment on it was necessary. It was an otherwise good post except for the part where you claimed we have too much CC already. That is false, we have less CC in our toolkit than ever before in the history of this class.

    A lot of pve rogues like shroud and think it is iconic. The game is not just about you.

    We've had Shroud since TBC and it's an incredibly powerful part of our utility. I'd say it's pretty iconic.

    I agree. So for a pvp player to say that Blizzard can just remove Shroud is pretty selfish. If you’re playing an MMO you should be considerate of other people.

    That's a bit of a reach. We've had shroud in its current iteration only since MoP.

    In very specific circumstances and only just for M+. You can even replace it for the most part with Invis pots. Also you can't even use it in PvP anymore.

    Honestly, I'd prefer they remove it over nerfing other utility like Blind and Gouge, or give it to other classes/specs. It's not nearly as powerful as you think it is, outside of high-end M+ and they even said they want us fighting more trash anyway (which is absurd, but they're the devs so whatever). This fixes two things: Nerfing Rogue utility and making us fight more trash.
    Still wondering why I play this game.
    I'm a Rogue and I also made a spreadsheet for the Order Hall that is updated for BfA.

    An ability that was added in MoP is not iconic.

    The only reason shroud was unpruned is because PvP Rogues raised hell. Blizzard said "we hear you, we're looking to add something back to the class to make it more interesting outside the dps rotation." This is what we got? It's an insult, it demonstrates that they completely failed to understand the problem we were asking them to solve.

    Man, Gouge was my bread and butter in TBC arena. So many re-stealths from that single move alone. Who needed Vanish when you could just do a 180 sprinting gouge.

    It can be a fun ability. It can be an useful ability. It can be a well designed ability (I do not believe it is however). These words have distinct meaning from iconic. Shroud is not iconic.

    I miss everything about it. I miss the animation and sound. I miss that keybind and feel like I have a "phantom limb" where it used to reside.

    And the PvP movement feels utterly terrible when I'm not even keeping awareness of the facing requirement in that way, such as running through someone and jumping while turning backwards and Gouging.

    Without this button, Subtlety and Assassination honestly don't even feel like playing a Rogue to me. I realize the perspective of PvE players is likely different because Gouge wasn't nearly as useful and fundamental in that environment when you're just thinking about a damage rotation. But man it's been years since Legion and I am still frustrated about the way our class has been handled.
    I'll give you gouge back if we can take away shroud.

    Why respond to the first post only without reading the thread? Shroud is obviously cancer, just look at Rogue representation in M+. What's worse, do you know the reason Shroud was added? Because PvP Rogues complained about the boring, one dimensional, pruned state of the class.

    Blizzard: "We hear you that playing a Rogue isn't very fun anymore in PvP and it needs something more to do outside of the dps rotation. We're planning to unprune another ability in 7.1"

    Also Blizzard: "Here's an ability that you can't even use in PvP."

    What an absolute joke.

    So what constitues iconic, and why? Apart from your valuable opinion.

    That is not for you to decide. It is subjective to the eye of the beholder. Maybe you don't find Shroud iconic, but I do as well as many others.

    A lot of people like Shroud, and for you to neglect that is just ignorant and selfish.

    I don't do pvp so if Blizzard completely destroyed rogues for pvp and used all their resources on pve, it would benefit me. But I would never ask for something like that, because I'm not a small minded person and I care about the wellbeing of other people.

    I find your comments extremely toxic.

    I think Shroud is a badly designed ability. It's obviously imbalanced in M+. With that said, I don't care about it, except for the fact that:

    1. PvP Rogues asked Blizzard to give us our buttons back

    2. Blizzard said "we hear you, we're going to give you a button back in 7.1"

    3. That button was Shroud. Clearly, Blizzard did NOT hear us.

    Am I hellbent on removing Shroud from the game? Nah, I don't care. I think it's a badly designed ability that creates a degenerate M+ meta of double Rogue compositions. If I were in charge of designing the class, I would probably consider removing it. But it's not my priority. I'm not starting threads about how Shroud should be pruned.

    With that being said, when I am demanding Gouge be restored to its rightful position as my "4" keybind where it resided since early 2005, and people are saying "no you can't have that because you already have Shroud your class is so broken already!", I'm not going to sugarcoat my response or go out of my way to argue that Shroud should stay.
