Being a rogue is not fun anymore. Rogue feels like a meme of what it used to be and of what it tries to be and it’s not even a funny meme.
Theme: what is the purpose of this class anymore? Why is this class cool? Rogue is supposed to be the agile acrobatic dirty fighter. Now, where is that? Death from above and Killing spree are the only two finishers that look cool(and one has long CD and the other is pvp only). If you look a replay of you playing rogue you will see somebody who is auto attacking, NOTHING else. This class needs more flashy agile moves to look cool. Eviscerate and envenom are just different auto attacks.
Stealth: It would be nice if I could use this ability! Why does every class in the game has a built in DOT in its rotation from passives or just from a press of a button. Cant get a restealth for the next half minute cause someone pressed a button on me. Not to mention the crazy amount of AOE in this game.
Combat: Too squishy for the amount of damage it deals.
Talents: What is the point of talent choices again? Why have so many talent builds if you are going to nerf the playstyles you don’t like blizzard? Always 1 talent build for pvp m+ and raid. Capstone talents that are not meta will never be taken.
Too many energy talents. Looks like devs got out of ideas and just slapped energy talents that are mandatory to take unless you like auto attacking so much.
Also rogue is a special case where you have to choose from the talent page if you want to do AOE or ST.
In general rogues abilities are just a mush up of new and old abilities from previus expansions. Nothing new and nothing exciting. And no SL abilities are just auto attacks (aa) again.
Flag = red aa
Sepsis = green aa
Repri = blue aa? i dont even remember the colour
All these add up to a really unfun expirience for me
Also I would like to add what i think would be a fun new tank spec for rogue
A rogue with no dual wield holding a 2h sword. Using shadow clones that mimick the rogue’s movements and abilities that generate threat. Faint would add a shield or idk what. It’s just a nice idea i had for a tank rogue spec. Goal is to have the monsters attack your clones.
I hope someone from dev team reads this and see why rogue is unpopular class.
Thanks for reading and see you around.
