Rogues are an incredibly poor substitute for Amazons or even Demon Hunters at the moment. The range skills are all lackluster, and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHY IS THERE NO MULTISHOT SKILL? I sincerely hope they completely redo the ranged aspects of this class or give us a new class focused on archery.

Barrage is Multishot
It’s not though. Not really.

I found myself missing my DH and Amazon while playing Rouge for this reason. The ranged abilities feel bad. The gap in effectiveness between ranged and melee is insane on Rouge. Melee Rouges can play content 15 levels higher with crap gear. A ranged rouge playing content for their level will feel like work. Its really astonishing.
Personally i feel like there are not enough skills. Diablo 3 had way more skills and passives its really noticeable when you play D4.

Yeah my Rogues generating skills are useless and the skills that work burn through mana in a second or two. They have both died at least 6 times each. I miss my Assassin and Amazon

All classes are a bit underwhelming except maybe sorc

Fully agreed, and would include sorc.
Both of these sentences are a lie.
Me and my buddy are both playing Rogue. He’s playing Twisting Blades. I’m playing Penetrating shot. Both of us started WT4 around level 60. We’ve both been perfectly fine, though he’s tankier than I am. At one point, his damage did fall off a cliff, but that’s because he wasn’t updating his weapons. Been farming helltide and +30 nightmare dungeons, together and separately.
You’re objectively wrong.
(Amazons and DH technically were substitutes for the Rogue.)
I’m not interested in multishot personally. However, the lack of options compared to those two is felt quite a bit, that’s for sure.
I wanted to like ranged. I drop the unique amulet for the ult as well. It’s awful. Went right back to melee. You’d think for a company claiming to be so diverse they would have some diversity in game.

True, but skills worked differently in D1 so I didn’t really think it was terribly relevant to mention the OG rogues. In any case (although I find the lack of Multishot to be unforgivable), as you stated, going the hybrid melee/ranged route has really limited ranged options.
I miss magic arrow from D2

Are you saying you were not playing ranged before WT4 and level 60? Many ranged rouges have been playing ranged the whole time. Including me.
There are literal videos of rouges leveling in areas 15 levels higher with crap gear running melee specs. I cant find any ranged videos the same. Its slower and takes more effort to gear.
Players should expect more leveling out post 60 and T4. That does not change the fact that melee is objectively better through the whole game.
Group play is a different beast…go solo…
Or haven’t you watched the 45 min 1 - 50 group vid/cheat yet?
Ranged rogue is very strong what the hell is this thread. You don’t empty the tank on finishers. The class is designed around firing off three basic attacks and then spending one cast on an imbued spender.
So many aspects support this playstyle.
Literally stated in my post that we’ve been doing stuff “together and separately”.
I know, reading can be hard sometimes.
shhhh… we don’t want them to nerf this too
Maybe at max level, I wouldn’t know, but before that it’s like just about every other class - a slog. In any case, I’m more upset about the build than the damage. D2 and 3 had classes built almost entirely around using bows/xbows with a few random skills thrown in like traps or summons. D4 has a melee class with a few random bow/xbow skills thrown in.

There’s more ranged skills than melee skills in the tree and the whole slowing/kitting/trapping aspect of the class feels like it’s here for the ranged play so i really don’t see the issue here.
“A slog like any class” oh alright so you just don’t like the game.
