As for why?
Sprint is useless trash: Nearly every single class in the game has a slow. Previously Sprint would give a few seconds of slow and snare immunity. NOPE. Gone.
Marked For Death: Just gone. Pathetic. It was there for a long enough time that it needed to stay. End of story.
Feint is now pretty much useless garbage as well: Minus-ing off only some AOE damage instead of a total flat %? LOL nice joke. So yeah, there’s that.
Burst has been heavily reduced: Not dealing as much damage as everyone else is sad. Look at feral and DK burst.
Last but definitely not least, there is a HUGE issue with balance when rogues go for re-stealth. No absorb. Not even a small one to keep that re-stealth available. You stealth and ANY DOT keeps you unstealthed. You’re invisible for 1.5 seconds. Just DoT the rogue one time and you’ll inevitably win vs them. We used to have an absorb that would help keep that in check, and give us a moment to recover. Nah, once you’re revealed, you have to stay un-stealthed the whole fight and rogues aren’t known for good sustain.
All around rogues are trash. Re-rolling mage so I can press a few buttons and watch someone drop while taking no damage and being able to teleport around.
I’m fine now. My mage is already level 74. Rogue is being set to the side. Nice try though, didn’t work. Will be fully geared on mage in 48 hours. You lose.
My mage is almost level 75 in 1 hour. Nobody cried except for you responding to my post. Thanks for tearing up and bawling over me smacking you with the truth. You lose. Mage lvl 80 incoming before change to the game to make leveling harder tomorrow. Stay harmed. I’ll be slamming people like you into the floor in arena and BGs with mage now.
They get worse and worse the quicker stuff dies and building around stealth (which just feels like a terribly dated mechanic) in heroic talents doesn’t feel good at all.
OP crying pretty hard about silly stuff but overall he is right. Rogues are in just a terrible place compared to other classes. Assassination is quite literally just staring at WeakAuras. Definitely the worst class in the game.
Old version was a ton better for any sort of grinding or farming. New version is ok-ish in some emergency situations but is pretty trash otherwise, especially since you have stuff like disengage that you can use just as easily
Nope, skipped most of DF because it was pretty boring. Haven’t done hardcore anything since Legion, don’t plan on it any time soon. However, old cheetah was useful in so many more situations than a one-off boss raid mechanic.
Then again, hunter’s been pretty bad ever since they forced the new abomination that is the least played spec in the game (SV) and got rid of old SV. All downhill for hunters since. Oh well.
SP is doing good this round though.
Edit: old cheetah didn’t have a cooldown it was just a buff you could toss on any time you wanted to get around quick. Had to be careful in combat situations but so long as you were, it was -very- useful in PVP and PVE
