on also another note why is rogue the only class in the game that has to talent into both of its main and biggest defensives while other classes only have to talent into 1 or none at all
Because Blizzard legitimately has no idea what they’re doing with us.
That pretty much sums up the current state of rogues.
Sure, we perform well. But that’s just “turning a knob” to tune our dps. There’s hardly any synergy these days between our talents and specs. A true sign the devs just don’t have a clue.
It is called the Rogue penalty tax.
Like I have said before you want to increase Rogue population numbers?
Return cloak to 1 minute in PVE, kidney shot to 20 seconds CD for PVP, and un nerf Crimson Vial healing for PVE and PVP.
Increase the ability to progress down talent trees with more choice node connections.
Make Relentless Strikes baseline again.
Just like that Rogues become “popular” again.
Double Feint was thrown to Rogues as a last ditch attempt to keep Rogues relevant to the modern retail game. But truthfully they just need to return Rogue tools to their original state.
