Being a rogue in SoD has to be the worse kind of exp ive ever had with wow…
Seing all other classes pulling 2-3 mobs who are higher lvl than themselves and maange it without problem, to then have yourself going down to 20% hp on a single mob at the same lvl as yourself cause you miss 80% of all attacks and has 0 aoe, and 0 damage overall…

You make Rouge sound good imho. My Warlock hits hard and content is easy… is that good? Not entirely as content doesn’t feel as challenging. Now if you have to work hard for your victories, then that’s a lot more fun and my sense of achievement would be higher and thus my enjoyment too.
Enjoy the journey and stop looking at the destination would be my advice. Though we may enjoy things differently. Remember happiness isn’t WHAT you have, it’s the PERCEPTION of what you have.

I agree, all classes should feel good but rogues feel like they are the worst. Any type of sustain or redo Deadly Venom to use Instant poison instead of deadly would also be a good change

Totally agree, leveling is hell, almost 20, but thinking about restarting something else first, last thing I’ll try is see if dungeons are any better to lvl
Thank god im not alone here.
I thought i was just only one lol, im the only rogue in my guild so had no one comparing notes on this, but it has felt rough.
Level 19 so far.

Think the biggest issue with rogue runes is that nothing is novel. Its all just replacements or improved versions of existing abilities which makes it feel extremely lackluster. No one needs a gapcloser at lvl 1 that does less dmg than everything else. Why isnt that an actual shadowstep with a reasonable cd for example? Only thing thats enjoyable is the instant shot even tho the animation is kinda cringe.
Backstab spec has literally no synergy between runes so you end up just spamming backstab.
Also feel like the tanking runes are gonna be 3 wasted slots for this class as i dont see tanking happening with CP dropping with tab targeting.

Yeah on lvl 10+ there enoght non elite mobs, like zombies nearly Family crypt can drop you to like 20-30% half of fights in 1v1.
Hey, look at the bright side. At least you’re not playing warrior where almost all the “cool” “new” things are passives that mostly amount to “deal 10% - 20% more damage when X is true”, and the actually interesting things like Warbringer are locked behind a clownshow of a quest chain.
Combat rogue here, its bad but doable
Yes you get rekt if you are not engineer with first aid, heal pots, and you have to blow cds constantly.
But like i always say, rogues will shine but its going to take a long time.
Id say once we are 40 we wont be last on dps maybe second last 
Still best class imo xD

This should never be the job as a rogue, and stealth pays of in PvP.

True but its not classic, if all other classes are able to manage that now we should aswell.
No, stealth and vanish is the price.
L take im talking pve
Then play a class with focus on PvE in particular AoE.
Nobody forces you to play a rogue. It’s a known fact that their strength is single target/CC with high survival.
There are trade offs, deal with it.
Rogue indeed look fairly weak, it’s usually my favourite class with mage but so far they got nothing interesting. I mean even if they were top damage it really feel like their runes are… boring to say the least(much like warrior). I really hope rogue get some cool stuff to mess around with, but for now I’ll just level mine to 25 and forget about it 
I sympathise but it’s not true classes pull 3 higher level mobs.
I can confirm this for feral drood and enhancement shaman with dw.
I understand the frustration with rogues though, but it’s early levels, scaling will be very interesting
