Rogue vs. Caster-PvP

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

Having a hard time understanding how this will not be a completely imbalanced nightmare for every caster in a BG. I’m thinking in Vanilla most people were bad and didn’t leverage the class to it’s full potential.

  • Sap

  • 5 second kick lockout (10 second cd)

  • 2 second blanket silence on kick

  • 5 second (talented) gouge

  • Kidney shot 6 sec(it’s own DR separate from cheap shot and other stuns)

  • Cheap shot 4 sec

  • Mace Stun (separate dr from cheap and kidney)

  • Mind numbing poison for 60% increased casting speed

  • Blind

  • Vanish to cheap shot/interrupt a cast

  • Prep to do everything all over again

This has a lot of misinformation.

In a BG its not an issue due to the constant combat and teammates.

That one dude ganking you while you’re farming for your epic mount? Yea he’s annoying every few minutes.

Vanish your sheep.

He still opens.

/Sheep again

Or /Ice block

Or /Trinket

Or /Frost nova, run away and do same thing

Mages have literally every escape button in the game.

since dots take rogues out of stealth and vanish doesnt remove dots I think good casters are fine. Rogues have always gotten the opener since if not they are easy targets. Sounds perfectly fine to me? all stuns are on dr except mace stun which is a 2% on hit for white attacks. and Maces suck for dmg so im not worried.

You could also:

/Engineering grande 2 second stun

13

Sheep again, he just stunned you with your blink down?

14

Don’t you have to Cheap Shot before you can Kidney Shot?

Sorry, it’s been a long time since I played.

I have analyzed your post and determined you enjoy comfort over challenge. You most likely have envy issues towards others you see on social media.

As such, BFA is the correct WoW expansion for you!

You will get many epics and better rouge vs. caster interaction. This will be very rewarding for you.

Mace stun was on random stun DR.

Kidney was on it’s own DR.

Cheap shot was on controlled stun DR.

Its the authentic classic experience to get curb stomped by a geared rogue.

Adds to the charm.

And here come the “X class is OP, nerf it!” cries.

I miss this so much.

A Rogues job is to kill Casters. I would kill about 70%. Some were just really good or had cool downs up and I didn’t. But those same casters were killing everyone else. It balances out.
