I wouldn’t mind sap being given some kind of cooldown to avoid the sap spam. Or a range reduction that would make rogues a bit more vulnerable to aoe spam.
It’s always pre combatants that start throwing this around for some reason. Not sure how this person has the gall to want this brought up.
Rogues are stealth assassins not cowards. They are build to assassinate, if successful, their target. They do not run in there like a warrior all gun-ho as they are just too squishy. The underlying issue is the fact that conquest has no cap and can be farmed at your ‘lower-level,’ battle grounds. So what happens? Well, your gonna to get semi-decent players like Rogues come in and ruin the game for those trying to ‘get-gud.’ Freeing up conquest at your little bg games helps new pvpr’s gear to relevance and move up and try rated content. Unfortunately you will get a lot of semi decent players in the process, and alot of them are rogues, hunters, DH’s or whatever the current meta is. There is always someone complaining as they cherry pick what they like and don’t like in a class.

Boomkins being mandatory is because they are strong right now. Rogues have always been mandatory for any RBG team regardless of how strong they are due to ninja capping.
You are confusing a Overpowered spec with just the design of a spec and it being necessary due to the design of RBGs. As soon as boomie is nerfed it will be all warlocks again, but if rogue gets nerfed you will still need one for bombs\ninja caps.
Can you name for me one season where boomkins haven’t been mandatory in rbgs? Since cataclysm I haven’t been around to see a boomkin-free rbg season. Granted I didn’t play legion/bfa…
I dont remember since i only hit 2.2 in RBGs in MOP. But im pretty sure its a shifting dps meta . I remember at one time it was basically all destro locks, then it went to a more tank melee meta when healing got buffed and burst damage got nerfed.
Do you understand the difference between OP classes/good damage and just basic design of rogue. Like no other class other than rogue can sneak to a flag and ninja cap with blind\sap\kidney. Or the use of smoke bomb to kill flag carriers.
I think balance druid wise you could argue that solar beam is very unique but even if rogue got a huge nerf it would still be used, however if balance got a huge nerf it wouldn’t be used because rogues utility as a balance line removing all numbers is just stronger.
i was on one of the top teams in NA in mop on both ele and frost mage. up there w/ datacus astanna, abn, all those teams. it was a boomkin meta even then. we usually ran 1or2 depending on the night.
boomkins cant sap/kidney/blind, but they can bash/roar/cyclone…
boomkin’s toolkits are tailored perfectly for rbgs. even if they did low damage they would still be brought for stealth, cc, and mobility.
what are you on about ? rogues are fine you get spam sapped its on you ?
when i make my groups i always want a boomkin cuz their kit is nice and helps alot .
