Rogues energy needs to be increased to a base of 150 from 100 most of the time spent in combat (pve) is waiting for that slow yellow piss bar to fill up so I can play my hero too and not just Auto attack which most of the time looks like this
MISS PARRY DODGE MISS MISS BLOCK (hit non crit) MISS PARRY DODGE BLOCK

Rightttttt and what about this has to do with making the energy pool a base of 150 so I can Manage more
what effect do you think the extra 50 energy would have? you would just spend it like you did the first 100 and still be staring at an empty bar asking for 200 base energy

Tried rogue. Got dual wield at 10. Proceeded to miss 80% of the time.
I felt like Blinkin from Men in Tights. Wiffing at the air at high speed and sometimes–just sometimes–a mob would walk into me and get hit. (This REALLY irks me b/c if a mob dual wields, they still NEVER miss.)
And Bliz HATES stealth.
The all cheating eye on some mobs that just knocks you out of stealth
random AOE that goes off and knocks you out of stealth before you can land your opener.
Some mobs just straight up seeing you out of stealth after they pull a crazy Ivan turn at the last second before you ambush.
It just feels like the entire game is built to make rogues signature class abilities be worthless 90% of the time. Like “Hey, here’s this Sub tree that lets you feel like the jump out of the shadows assassin type character, but you’ll never be able to use it in group content because you will be trapped in combat all the time and cheesed out of stealth most of the time if you DO manage to hide.”

On stealth with mobs, isn’t that what tools like Distract and Sap are for? On my rogues I’ve also weaponized mobs “noticing” my stealth by standing at just the right distance to get them to hold still for a moment.
I dunno, feels kinda analogous to casters needing to think about their openers and keep enemies at arms’ length to not die.

I once got a rogue to 14. 'Twas a gnome … and then I got to the troggs or whatever they are in Dun Morogh / Loch Modan border. And they’re linked in packs of 3 or 4. NO CHANCE. Alli really get screwed by that in general, with lots of linked groups in Westfall and of course elites in Redridge, but it is a massive turn-off for classes that miss most of the time!

This is like the 5th person I’ve seen mentioning missing attacks all the time, are these just retail players or did they actually mess up something with weapon skill or something?

This is all feelscraft but compared to Era, meleeing a same level or especially a +1 mob feels much worse. Meleeing a +3 or higher feels stronger but is obviously still very bad (as it should be, it’s just strange that it feels better). Anything below your level feels like it gets completely destroyed, vastly stronger.

I tired leveling a human, but its almost like changing sword specializtion made swords miss more. I mean… 5 less sword skill points. Same with maces on the dwarves. Thats, 1 lvl less of skill points.

You have to pool energy and invest in hit % points if you want to play as a rogue. Especially hit % if you dual wield. That’s what you had to do classic.

That is precisely what distract is for. Sap is more CC so can’t really force mobs to face a certain direction.
Also, stealth works similarly to aggro. The bigger the level difference between you and your target, the smaller (or larger) the detection radius is. That’s why NE rogues are harder to see (they count as 1 level higher, IIRC), and why the talent Master of Deception exists.
