Rogue needs some love, too

Post by Frantsel » Tue Jan 02, 2024 1:59 am

So most classes got some love and most ppl I've spoken to (also non-rogues) agree that rogues are on a pretty bad spot.

The abilities that are added to the game are actually pretty useless. I think I dont need to elaborate this.

What might be helpful would be some kind of Cloak of Shadows, to get rid of magic and to add at least a bit survivatility vs casters.

Some ability to deal with the extreme armor amounts of druids, palas, warriors.
Those classes are extremely hard to break as a rogue. Expose armor doesn't work Imo, even when skilled into it, it is just too hard to apply. Those combo points are needed for kidney, just to survive.

Those are just some ideas. Feel free to add to it.

What are your thoughts?

Just revert the nerfs and I'll be happy. There was just about nothing wrong with the state of the class beforehand.

(TBC combo point system would be nice though.)
Elmhoof - 60 Feral, between tanking/dps (Main)
Anbone 34 Shadow Priest (Planned secondary main)
Manypunchman - 10 Naked Troll Boxer (Hardcore)

I'm back! More or less...

If Expose armor is changed to percentage calculation, it will be too powerful

I think they are referring to the fact that they gave Rogues' the ability to tank (via Flourish) and then recently nerfed the ability due to exploitative behaviour.

There wasn't any exploitative behavior. It's just devs backpedaling.

A rogue tank that mitigates damage through agility/dodge ? That would be interesting, but would probably make them a pain in the backside, pun intended. :P Ok I was never here. *Runs and hides*
