Rogue Runes

Rogues are topping the meters along with warriors homie. You seriously think rogue needs some huge damage increases ATM?

You do realize not all runes are made for PVE right?

Considering other classes got a lot of big damage abilities on their runes and that a very large chunk of gnomer will be immune to poisons and bleeds, yes I think rogues could use something better than Waylay on their boots.

Yea i get it. Youre a PvE player than disregards the implication in PvP just cause you wanna measure your epeen on the damage meters. Trust me bro, rogues dont need huge damage increases.

We have no idea whats happening with gnomer in regards to mechanicals and bleeds, but theres already an alternative with daggers. I play daggers on my rogue and surivived p1 watching sword boys handily beat me on the meters. Maybe its our time to shine? Also as you can see i play mage which we all know was super bad p1, although i mostly just healed cause thats what i enjoy.

Bottom line is this is just a phase thats not even endgame. When we get to level 60, the Mechanicals we face in gnomer wont matter.

That’s datamined info. It could have been there from testing, it could mean it’s coming in the future, or they could have put it in there to make people look stupid.

Why do people respond like this?

We get it, you think you are elite and everyone else is trash and only your opinion matters.

Hooray for you.

Lol? What are you even responding to? Your cookie cutter argument replys dont fit every situation. Maybe you should better explain your disagreements with me bro

I would love for daggers to take the top spot. I think it fits better thematically.

There shouldnt be much of an impact on pvp. Most of the new runes this phase provide pvp options.

Bad bad and bad again. Rogue tank still not viable

Aggrend on Twitter was very specific in saying to take the data mines with SEVERAL grains of salt. He said that a lot of the data mined things likely weren’t even the same anymore and some of them were just for testing purposes and will never see the light of day.

I will say that as a Rogue main STV FFA pvp will be SO MUCH FUN! There are so many allies I will be killing. I wonder if I could start a assassination service to take contracts to kill people who have been jerks to others.

If everything that has been datamined is correct, I see no other option for rogues than Mutilate.

Between Seal Fate and Honour Among Thieves, a single Mutilate could generate 4-5 combo points (depending on Seal Fate’s internal CD) on a crit. Mutilate gets a baseline 35% crit chance from talents alone, as well as a 20% damage increase from Opportunity.

And to top it all off, the latest class tunings have Mutilate only costing 40 energy. In my opinion the Mutilate build would absolutely claim the Warrior’s top dps spot if there are no changes from datamined info.

And I would be here for it honestly, dagger rogues > all.

The only downside is that poisons will not be doing well.

I wonder if a dagger sub build or hybrid sub/combat or sub/assass build will be top.

There is nothing saying they can’t fill all the rune slots early and then add runes for existing slots. It would shake up the meta like crazy

How are you getting seal fate, opportunity, and improved backstab all at 40?
