when I play barbarian or sorcerer I have to fill my skillbar with defensive skills, at least 2, probably 3.

when I see a rogue playing without ANY defensive skill on the bar, hitting 10x more, tanking 10x I feel like I’m playing diablo 3.5 and the rogue is playing diablo 5

Is that why my home screen says 5 when I log into play?

SHHHHHHH. Don’t tell anyone. :rofl:

PS, I came from Sorc central as my main, so I understand your point. But now I have a conflict of interest so current OP status of Rogue should stay. Lol.

PPS, skill bar does not tell what they’ve put on paragon board. And the paragon board is oh so good for Rogue defense wise.

That works? If i block people i will be never again in the same realm?

i mean it worked in eternal so unless they shadow nerfed it it’s supposed to work.

Wtf are you talking about? That rogue literally has 3 defensive abilities on it’s bar.

Shadow step and concealment - literally or only cc breakers

Dash - our only way to disengage

Just cuz our defensive abilities don’t make us literally immortal for 5 seconds doesn’t mean they aren’t defensive abilities.

Also that video is funny because that rogue is literally just out playing those people who clearly are just awful and depend on their classes being over powered andhave no skill :joy:

an ability that teleports, gives 8% crit and stun and makes you unstoppable is “defensive”? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

It’s one of only 2 ways to get unstoppable.

One of 2, maybe 3 ways to get hard cc.

It’s a defensive ability whether you like it or not.

Edit: also it’s extremely easy to not get stunned by it. Just literally walk in any direction, instead of thinking “I should be able to stand still and hold a button down and win”

my War Cry is defensive, it gives me berserk that makes me more resistant, so all my barbarian skills are mandatory and defensive

i love this game

Rogues don’t have defensive skills in the same way that other characters do. Her agility skills and skills like concealment don’t add (much) buffs to make Rogues tankier, but are used defensively for repositioning or stealth. Rogues however have passives that boost DR, dodge and life steal vs close enemies.

Rogue gets it’s defensive abilities mostly from the equipment, passives and yes, mobility. Like it or not, mobility in a lot of cases can be used as a defensive mechanism, or a gap closer to get your damage out in the right spot, it’s multifunctional.
If rogues started to use defensive skills then you would cry about that because they would be unkillable. At the moment you can’t kill them, because they are agile, therefore their mobility skills are their defensive skills, because it makes them not die, why is that hard to understand? On the other hand the best weapon against agile characters is: plann ahead, predict them. If you fight enough against them, you’ll see a pattern and you’ll be able to destroy them easily, because they are most of the time squishier than you. Fighting against agile characters can be annoying for noobs, because spamming your buttons isn’t enough against them, they’ll just wait out your abilities because you used all of them up at once, which means you got outplayed bro.
Also i can remember in the eternal realm barbs 1 shotting everything because they had their unstoppable up for the whole fight (which was usually 3 sec at max) so you couldn’t cc them, and they just 1 shot you, i guess you weren’t complaining about that were you?
Bone spear necro killing everything from outside of your vision basically?
Not to mention the devs straight up said the pvp won’t be balanced, they won’t even bother making it balanced. So it is what it is.

Ye its kinda unfair. Hard to balance this if PvP is also in a PvE zone.

most rogues are running dash,shadowstep,poison imbuement and clone in pvp… they tank more than all classes without a single defensive skill on the bar
