Rogue 4th spec

Community General Discussion

So I could never shake the idea from my head. So some folks want a ranged dps spec for Rogues, I started wondering how that could work exactly. Then it hit me. Rogues seem to favor unconventional fighting so.

Gunslinger

Introducing a new weapon type matchlock pistols or just pistols. Anyway a dual wielding gunner who opens fire from the shadows then retreating back when all is riddled with bullets. The idea came from Lord Godfrey, the final boss of Shadowfang Keep. The Gunslinger might dabble in cursed bullets as well.

Rocks work well for shaking things loose.

I like the idea of a ranged spec. Dual pistols, though? Maybe I’ll finally get to fulfill my dream of being Dr. Dre with a foe-foe. Cuz I gotta stay strapped, y’know what I’m sayin’? lol

It was the only way I could think of to make Ranged Rogue viable. I mean, do you really want to steal Hunter’s bows and guns?

Plus it’d even things out, Assassin and Subtlety are the silent approach, with Outlaw and Gunslinger the more loud one.

Why not? If Demon Hunters can steal things then so can we. :smiley:

Just… just forget I said anything.

Another idea in the toilet.

To me, that belongs in Old Republic, not WoW. We have hunters for guns.

Shaman tank 4th spec before anything else, imo.

Warlocks stole things, DHs rightfully got them back. It’s Blizz’s fault for initially giving Warlocks abilities that were DH only. Even the lore literally states they stole Meta from DHs. Which was bad lore, too.

Yeah, I think I heard that somewheres. I was just messing around with Kaz.

Sorry if that came across as annoyed. I didn’t mean for that. The whole subject is a pet peeve of mine. :blue_heart:

No no, it’s fine. I agree Shamans Need an Earth-Warder tank spec focusing on the Earth element.

This Gunslinger nonsense was just something rumbling around my tiny brain.

I do love my Old Republic Gunslinger, though!

I’m also starting to get annoyed that Blizz is ignoring our desire for a Shaman tank. Hunters got survival changed, but no tank for us? I call shenanigans.

Don’t get me wrong I like the idea of a Melee hunter, I just feel they should have made Beast Mastery the melee spec. Fighting alongside your companion animal by jumping in the fray with them, mimicking their attacks, flying into a bestial rage alongside them.

That might’ve been interesting. I feel traps aren’t utilized enough either.

14

The idea for Melee Beastmaster was actually from Rexxar. I also feel that a Trap oriented Survival Hunter could work well, fighting at ranged, using all manner of traps and gadgetry, Explosive shots.

Hey… that suddenly made me think of something…

Why didn’t they just give us the option like they did with pets in Marksman? BM option of melee or ranged, different bonuses depending on which you used. Melee or ranged survival, different bonuses depending on which you used.

Nope, would rather have a rogue tank spec instead.

17

That… would make a lot of sense.

Right?! :smiley:

Think of the fun! The choices!

Oh… wait…

That’s why we don’t have it. LOL

I have always thought bm fit better as the Melee Hunter, just imagine running up on people with a big 2h axe and 2 devilsaurs. Survival should be a mix of bm and marks but with more tricks like bombs snares and other survival tools (a tent!)
