Rogue cooldowns

What is your opinion about rogue cooldowns? Everything is 5 minutes cd while other classes have top 3min. There is a way for them to go down to 3 min but u have to invest points to two different trees which is not a playable version.
Example, dash of druid is a 2min cd with 60% speed for 15 sec. Sprint of rogue(r1) is 50% speed with 5 minutes cooldown. There are other examples to add for quite poweful abilities of other classes with max 3min cd , except bubble of paladin, but you got my point there. One thought is that the game at those days wasnt balanced at all so they **** some skills, but shouldnt that change at SoD since its not classic and be more tuned? Your thoughts?

Shobeck.

i love his shorts, awsoem rp.

meaning he does pretty well with it. but yea, i see your point tbf. its vanilla tuned, in a SoD enviroment, and that ends up feeling like effectively a nerf.

No, just no. There is nothing more op from a rogue with full cds.

How many talent points does druid have to enhance the Dash ?

Blade Flurry is 2 min. Cold Blood is 3 min. Premeditation is 2 min. Rest you can use twice with Preparation.

Btw did you notice how many cooldowns I listed, and they are not all. Yea, now think how many CDs at all does a druid have.

N.B. If you haven’t noticed so far, let me clue you in - there wont be ANY changes to all the classic abilities of each class UNLESS changed with a rune. There wont be any base changes, as there weren’t so far. The reason being is (at least that’s what I was told) that this would break classic era servers. So don’t expect any changes to the classes unless with a rune.

What game are you playing?

Because rogue is mega strong with full CDs up?

Having rogue alt I sure would love 3m CD sprint, evasion and vanish, but given they have talents that drops their CD 90 seconds off, that would end up being a bit too much for what still is Classic on top of all the short CD CC abilities.

And then I have a suspicion they will go ahead and add Cloak of Shadow too in P2/3, just cause.

Rogues deserve actual nerfs to their rune abilities, it’s dumb for a melee class to slow from 20yards, not to mention stun. Whoever suggested a 20y range on a stun and slow from a melee class, needs to be fired and cancelled.
Rogues have multiple CDs to close gaps and mostly get the initiation anyways from stealth. I cannot wait for the people begging for rogue nerfs next phase, suprised people are blinded by Druids than Rogues/Priests TBH, but hey that is what happens if people just suggest nerfs for classes that would be nothing without 1 ability.

Rogues are going to destroy everyone in phase 2.
Maybe good warlocks will be annoying, but the rest of the classes are going to be free kills.

World of roguecraft anyone?

Yo shut up troll, lmao.
You know this to be true, especially if a rogue can just kill you with a white dagger and no gear. Or with a level difference, literally seen 2 20 rogues killing 25s like it is nothing.

This has got to be a troll post… rogues are the strongest 1v1 class and extremely strong in any situation (except aoe) AND they are still missing most of their toolkit.
Phase 2 is gonna be Rogue > all

Ofc you have shorter CDs, but only at Higher lvls, Who Cares about 25 or Low lvl PvP. At 60 is where it matters

Wouldnt it be cool if they introduced a Rune that allows Rogues to pick the best moments to user their long cooldowns, so that they can cherrypick when to use them and be safe when they are on CD.

Oh wait.

I think rets and warlocks will slaughter rogues in p2, maybe warriors too with the extra charge and everything.

Comparing abilties like for like in a classic experience is foolish

The second you start doing that you inevitably end up with retail

My hearthstone has 1 hour cooldown. This game is unplayable

Rogues strongest 1v1 class? In what expantion? Neither in Sod nor in Classic Vanilla. Rogues are Not the best 1v1 class.

Then you should watch rogue players and learn from them. Rogues have always been strongest 1v1 class in classic (except maybe SL locks, but they have other weaknesses that rogues don’t)
