Rogue PvP viability

Is Rogue pretty decent at soloing all the classes? What might I struggle most with. How do I counter said struggles? I forgot how rogues were in vanilla. In retail we are more of a support/burst.

if you can 1v1 a pally you can do anything

What do you mean? Would I have enough sustain?

what i mean is that pally is the only class you can’t 2-or-3-shot lol

Did you see the rogue gankers on the beta? They were dropping streamers left and right. Very strong class in pvp, but typically not played well by the average joe.

I didnt think I could even do that to warrior

Rogue is really the one class that you can’t answer this question for… Their viability is entirely based on player skill.

Most Rogues will be bad at PvP, while some will be able to solo their opponents naked.

yep. playing a rogue well is like knowing all the moves and counters in tekken or street fighter

This is making me happier to go rogue lol. So you are saying with enough practice I can hold my own pretty well?

Yeah. Rogues are the one class that can solo any other class if the player is skilled enough. The “Rock Paper Scissors” doesnt effect rogues much.

What do you mean by rock paper scissors

I think you’ll enjoy this very VERY much. my favorite rogue pvp video from back in the day, a HWL no less

Just be aware that if you practice bad habits you’re just getting worse.

Rogues were basically the best pvp class and only had problems with warriors and hunters.

[Edit:] How do you avoid your problem? Stay in stealth.

Yeah, if you “git gud” you can be a real threat…

However, I’ll caution you - most Rogues I see get dunked by a couple of Overpowers. You gotta know how to use combo points, bleed kite, etc. I’m no expert, I just know that the difference between a good one and bad one is monumental.

R14 rogue here… just don’t mess up wity your cooldowns.
Practice 40+ hours a week.
Duel every1 even w/o cooldowns… the goal is to learn how to beat every1 without using cd’s… u gotta use brains and rogue tricks. After you learned how to do that it is GG.

Except top notch rogues toy with top notch wars in a 1v1 any day of the year.

That’s why in an earlier comment I said that skilled rouges aren’t really effected by the Rock Paper Scissors.

That was an awesome vid. Only time he got wrecked was by another rogue! And it was 1v3
