A rogue is just sitting there in stealth that a ret knows is there and randomly wake of ashes? Sounds like a bad rogue

Sounds like its about every PvP situation except Open World.

No Druids are the most op class

This thread is so funny. There are literal numbers you can look up to see which classes are the best at PvP. Currently, its not rogues.

A rogue relying on bleeds and poisons to get kills can fail to get kills if they are repeatedly removed. Assassination is known to be the easiest to kill. Not easy per se but easiest.

If the rogue that would like to stealth to excape is DoTed up, they can use Cloak to safely vanish, but most rogue use Cloak to stay in combat during that period of near invulnerabilty, so it isnt available to aid in fleeing for a reset.

Rogues still do get knocked out of stealth often far away from combat, some bugs have been fixed in this regard, but rogues are still reporting it happens sometimes.

Are rogues Class tools and available spec tools super useful in pvp? Hell yeah. Are rogues the spec that kill me the most often in Solo BGs? Yes. Cloak of Shadows ensures I cant CC them to gain any distance from them and Shadowstrike for Sub and Shadowstep would prevent that even if I wasnt already dead during the great many CCs they have to not let me do damage. Also I choose to play a spec that cant do much damage to someone behind meā€¦rogues live behind me.

Its still a pick your poison situation when selecting a spec. I could play a rogue, but Iā€™d be giving up 50 yards of range, a ranged kick, most of my AoE damage that is currently easy to use. Just because Rogue do the rogue thing well doesnā€™t mean the other specs donā€™t bring their own benefits to the team.

rogues damage in pvp is garbage. we are squishy if stunned. vanish as of tomorrow ill no longer reset cool downs which seems ridiculous. and the rogue doesnt kill in the opener. it requires having a partner that can also burst. the rogue keeps them stunned for a 3 cheap shots and a kidney if that target does not use any defensives, which is unlikely at any competitive level. rogue isnt killing anyone in an opener more than 0/100 games at anything above 1600 cr. people dont play rogue for the damage it does in pvp im not sure why they play it in pve, because i cant understand why one would pve at all anyways. but in pvp its fun to be able to have to play with strategy to actually get the kills and not just charge somone pop a bunch of cds and tunnel vision with brute force to win matches. thats just my opinion though. as for casters, they are actually sick, but going from a melee to caster is the weirdest thing ever and i dont have the patience to learn it.
