Give us Smoke Bomb or a Raid-wide buff

Classes Rogue
1

Blizzard don’t leave Rogue as dead raid class for another tier. As a melee class we need to bring something unique to raids to compete with other classes.

  • Warriors bring Rallying cry and Battle Shout.
  • DHs bring Darkness and a raid magic buff.
  • DKs bring AMZ, Grip and Battleress.

Rogue brings nothing compared to that. In 9.1 (or before) please give us either Smoke Bomb as a defensive raid CD to compete with Darkness and AMZ. Or give us a raid-wide buff, for example make our poisons apply a Crit-damage-taken buff from all sources.

“I’m happy we got a Rogue in this raid” - A distant memory.

Or apply PvE effects to abilities used solely in PvP.

Blind is useless in raids yet insane in PVP. Make it reduce all damage caused by the target x% for the duration.

Make poisons or bleeds apply a 3-5% bonus to all physical damage taken.

Make kidney shot “expose a weakness” to all raid members for xseconds per CP.

So many ways to integrate useless abilities as they are right now in raids into raidwide buffs making rogues appealing.

Exactly. I’m not looking for Rogues to be OP at all… I just want to have a valid answer to the question: “Why not just bring another DK?”

Also make rogue finally feel playable and feasibly different from PVP without us just feeling like a budget monk.
