I’m just curious, since the class is so obviously bad with the current content patch in PVE, will anything be done or am I forced to reroll something I don’t want to play? Vanilla TBC was NOT this way at all until 2.3.2, well after BT progression. It’s bad enough when melee are forced to deal with all the damage from the fights, because we can’t just stand in one spot and hit the dps button, but to look at current patch and say “this is fine” when it’s obviously garbage for every class but hunter and warlock is completely unacceptable. I can’t even get T4 gear because they’re giving it to every other class but mine.
UN NERF ROGUE. Fix our damn class. The current state of PVE balance is imbalance.
This is why I left my last guild. They kept benching my rogue friend I wanted to raid with. So me and my group of friends left the guild. Hey GMs, do you really need to optimize that much?
Imagine playing a social game with people who don’t like you enough to bring you purely based on your personality regardless of what class you are playing. Rogues are completely viable, all of this content is faceroll easy and the hardest part of T5 will be the trash.
Umm, the fact that your guild aren’t taking any rogues is your guilds problem. My guild is melee heavy with 2 raid teams, 2 rogues in one and 1 in the other. Now they couldn’t take all of the rogues that were raiding in naxx but that’s simply because of the raid limit.
Play what you want man if you want to raid and your guild isnt letting you raid with the character you want then leave the guild and find another raiding group to raid with.
Ranged will always have the advantage compared to melee simply because we dont have to move to do damage.
Ahhh no? My Mage and Druid are fine even rogues are fine. They’re doing much better than you’re saying they are.
Pretty much every single dps spec is viable, they just might not be optimal. If the guild won’t let you run as a rogue they are too obsessed with being optimal for content that doesn’t need that level of optimization.
Here’s the thing, all of you idiots piping in here with “derp derp derp, just change guilds…” there’s nothing wrong with my damn guild. BUT there is something wrong with my class when I out-gear 5 other classes and they still do more dps than me and avoid 100% damage from all the bosses simply by virtue of standing far away.
This doesn’t take a genius to see that bad decisions were made to “balance” the game in the past by nerfing EVERY GOOD SPEC that rogues created in the past. HARP = Nerf, Tri Spec Hemo = Nerf, Combat Swords = Nerf. They nerfed every damn good spec because the ranged stand-there-do-nothing babies cried until they did it.
Rogue is fine, they seem to be doing well in my guild so far. They are never on the bottom of the DPS list, and often near the top of the list. They are getting orange/purple parses in my guild, sometimes doing better than my own blue/purple/orange parses as enhance. What is your rogues name so I can compare your parses with theirs?
EDIT: Looked at the logs for your guild. Your rogues are doing quite well on DPS as all the rogues in your guild are in the top spots for DPS just behind the hunter/lock and occasional mage (sometimes beating specific players of those classes). Your guild is even bringing 3 rogues to the raid, who are all doing respectable numbers (+1k DPS) so I really doubt your guild will no longer take those 3 players to the raids for t5 content. Your guild is even bringing 2 dps warriors who are consistently at the bottom of the dps ranking for your guilds raids. So since your raids are so melee heavy I can see them dropping a warrior and maybe a rogue for another ranged class or a proper Enh Shaman to twist and buff the other AP users in the grp.
Rogues are actually really good right now. If you’re guilds not taking one or 2 (or a fury warrior) that sounds like either your rogues aren’t good in which case that makes sense to take a more meta class or your gm is chasing the meta and doesn’t care about benching their top dps.
