Rogues in PvP - NERF

Rogues are 2 shotting people with almost full PvP rank 3, 19% versatility, with an earth shield on (conduit buffed), and healing stream totem. Blizz is that acceptable?

Yeah Sub Rogue is pretty good at the moment…always fun to not be allowed to play the game due to one class lol.

They’re not “Good” Any class that can basically ONE shot a fully geared Rank 3 PvP geared character… is not balanced. Period.

Hopefully not too much longer, If blizz doesn’t fix this they’re in for a world of hurt. Queues will just be filled with Rogues lol.

blizzard won’t nerf them, Rogue is literally the only class in the game that hasn’t taken a full on nerf bat to the face.

They will nerf SUB rogues. If they don’t they’re morons. I dont know how Sub rogues got to this place with all these beta testers in the first place.

As a fellow Rogue that rejected the Blue man group do you laugh at all these daily posts as well? Half the problem is the Kyrian ability + conduit, and the other is drest trinket.

Rogues are strong, I can still blow people up using all my CD as a T̶r̶a̶s̶h̶l̶o̶r̶d̶ Necrolord but we die faster than any of the other crazy burst classes.

If Blizz needs to do anything right now it’s killing drest at lvl 60 and maybe looking at the Kyrian ability and adjusting the potency conduit as well. At least in PvP.

Tanks take increased(I think 50%) more dmg in PvP. Imagine playing a tank in PvP and not knowing this then whining you die too fast :rofl:

okay and my restro druid in bear form with bark skin also died in same time full hots rolling whats your point buddy

True, however 20% versatility is pretty impressive for this stage of gameplay.

Mm hunters give me personally more trouble, but I still get dropped in a single stunlock fairly often.

We will always deal with this though. Rogue baseline skill set has had more pvp utility since vanilla than most classes have power-crept over the years.

I have no idea how to fix it. Give everyone else similar tools and it waters down the game. Take away rogue utility and you butcher the class theme and alienate the players. Neuter their damage and wreck pve.

I wish they would just create an “arena realm” with templatted characters and tweaked skills/talents.

Balance around high level pvp and pve is just not working. One always wrecks the other.

my point is you were most likely facing a Kyrian Rogue who has access to a 45 second burst spell that is a guaranteed crit between 8-11k of arcane dmg, and if you’re really unlucky it’s macro’d with a drest trinket.

Rogues are strong(druids heals is pretty underwhelming as well atm), but the real outliers when it comes to Sub are those two abilities on top of the kit. They need to make some adjustments to those outliers first and see where Rogues stand.

And yet here you are making fun of others for dying with defensives up despite knowing how busted the spec is with those interactions.
