Right, so I was a bit late into phase 2 so just yesterday I got prebis on my rogue and wanted to get into Gnome before reset. I thought it would be easy to get into some group, doesnt matter if we dont clear everything, looked tactics and started to whisp people. I was suprised that after around 1hour, I saw zero groups asking for a rogue and every guy I whispered would answer ‘’ sry have 1 rogue already or full on meele’', most wouldnt answer at all tho. So my guess is that raid is overtuned a bit for classic players and they’re trying to fix it by playing meta comps and gatekeeping everything but casters or healers. This is actually 1st time this happens to me, I can’t enter freaking lvl 40 raid even after taking my time to get prebis and knowing my class/game pretty well. Also people around feel very frustrated with a game overall, not a chill expirience for sure.
All messages in LFG are:
LF caster
LF feral (to boost melee hunter only probably)
LF tank
and 90% of messages: LF healer
melees are obsolete in gnomer, not only because of ridiculous amounts of armor bosses have, but because bossfight mechanics are punishing melees
Ive been looking all week for one and last night went to a last boss 1 shot on thermaplugg as a stand in for a random guild who got a dps DC.
Thats right, im the last ditch, ill screw my whole reset just for a shot at one boss class.
Funny thing is that even pugs that asked for last boss replacements were kinda choosy, they wanted caster also lol
They’d do that regardless of raid difficulty. It’s just the mentality the community has to a large extent. The raid having actual mechanics makes it a bit worse though. The solution is to join a guild and not have to deal with the ridiculous pug scene. Join a casual guild that lets people play whatever they want, you won’t regret it.
I am in casual guild actually. I rerolled from my hunter to rogue so I am on fence for now I guess even after being their best dmg dealer phase 1. They did 4/6 last week so I guess they dont think they can progress with meele heavy comp or what ever
Rogues should be top DPS in PvE or blizz should add some utility/buff they provide for a raid. It’s common sense but apparently not for blizz developers
Yeah I think that’s how it works sadly. If we dont bring any utility only way to make ppl think they need rogue is making em top PvE dmg or making bosses have raid wipe casts that need to be kicked
Even with a guild, it is not a fact that you will get into a raid. In Gnomregan, only 4 melee are required, including a tank, due to the boss mechanics.
M8 I had the same issues on first lockout , 95 ish avg BFD for the people that check that. We didnt have A 10 man roster in guild ready. With full prebis and blue bis back and epic gloves. People just dont want melee in general.
Even Worse for rogues couse we dont bring anything to the raid apart from damage. And we dont Get brought for the damage either couse other classes do it better this phase and they are ranged aswell.
Yeah, it’s not even question about player quality anymore. Just need to play caster and ur good, think I’ll swap to my alt priest for this phase. Why would I grief myself by playing rogue
