Have you tried just killing them and then taking the base? Usually works for me

you cant freely get nodes from people and get an auto slot for rbgs and you actually have to be able to out duel people for the cap… really do love to see it

Good thing rogues are also used for base sitting! :smiley:

Getting guaranteed caps by disallowing people to play the game was bad design to begin with. You will no longer specifically have to take a couple classes just to have them sit and do nothing. Now if they just bar tanks from RBGs, we’d finally see the typical wait to form a pug shaved down by 2/3, which would be extremely healthy for the game.

Removing maneuverability was it for me. This is why this game’s pvp is garbage. You can’t invest time on a class because that class/spec will change per patch. Constant buff and nerf makes it impossible and FOTM…… can’t play what you like because you feel punished when Is not a FoTM pick.

Honestly this kinda matters a lot. People can say sap capping is cheap all they want but the attacker having the advantage in a 1v1 on a base has been kinda fundamental, it’s not just rogues affected by this.

Nah, sap capping isn’t a good mechanic. It should have been removed a long time ago.

Rogues complaining breathes life into me. It’s like a federal prisoner complaining that there isn’t enough Animorph books in the inmate library. Nobody cares.

Unless things have drastically changed in recent years Vs good teams you had to do that a lot of the time anyway.

There would always be a best class for flag carrying though. If no tanks then you would always need a feral cause they can bear form and travel form.

And there was much rejoicing! Also, this is the arena forums. This post is better served in the battlegrounds forums.

More people play DPS than tanks. Would make things faster regardless.

I think if there were more Animorph books in the inmate library we would have less prisoners return to a life of crime after they have completed their incarceration.

While this is the wrong thread for such a topic, I’m saying my piece anyway.

That just risks and wastes so much extra unnecessary time. Rogues were always super clutch in domination BGs because of their sap cap strategy that would really have to initiate a thought process by the sapped player.

Do they trinket the sap and risk getting into an instant full blind but try to use that smol window to use a sort of CC immunity and then make the rogue panic, or do they sit the sap and let the rogue cap?

Or if its a pet class, do they sit the sap and let the pet stop the cap? Or if the player is sapped and pet is blinded, does the player trinket the sap but then risk dying in a full stun lock?

It was already a very tricky situation for both parties in this kind of scenario even when it involved both players who know what they’re doing with this strategy, how to utilize it and how to counter it.

Now that the skillcap of this scenario has been dramatically reduced, all people need to do to counter it is just wait out the sap while spamming an instant attack button to stop the cap, and there’s no more utilization the rogue can do about it.
