But basically a Rogue brings alot of dps yes, however they bring a small ammount of CC and no healing/support effects really.

My opinion is that every group shuld have one person that is a straight up DPS. The ideal group setup for me is, Tank, DPS, Support, Healer, off-tank/dps. Thats an ideal setup in my opinion.

Ye rogues dont bring very much to the table other then dps but you got 5 slots in a group. Having one person set in nothing but DPS means that they can excel. Why not get a dps warrior then? if they pull aggro they wont die right? they have armor and hp!

Well a rogue can out dps a warrior if they kno what their doing, sry to all u warriors out there. but oh wait warrior sill has more armor and hp then rogue....well rogue has evasion and vanish.2 evasions if u got prep. and maybe a ghostly strike too if u went into sub a bit.

1 eva + 1 GS = 75% dodge ontop of what you already have. And u can feint to get aggro back on tank. And u should have an off tank/dps to help try to get aggro off you or toher members.

A support class to help out everyone (most likely a hybrid class, pally, sham, dru) with buffs and some added healing if needed hence "support" class. And a healer to keep people smiling.

So what does rogue bring to the table..........simple dps and minimal CC, but im sry thats all a rogue needs in a group if group is setup right. And if u try to say well what if u have a bad setup then rogue isnt good...well STFU its a bad setup dumbass expect to die. but dont try to take out a class that is a master of 1 skill instead of a jack of multiple. Rogue = dps.

so if you want someone to do dmg then pick a Rogue. We know what the f*ck to do when it comes to killing sh*t.


Fixed so people can actually read it.

Rouges will usually be one unless there is a geared fire mage. But you can kill them in duels if your skilled enough

And vice versa. Oh..Armor and HP don't mean squat for DPS, even if you pull the boss (depending on the instance/raid) ur still gonna get squashed. But just about every class can bring DPS to the table and more...poor rogues.

Ah, Rogue PvP videos are just so....boring and...well..yah...all the same.

Last night for Netherspite I topped the damage meter by approx. 75,000 compared to the dps warrior. Top that.


Uh...hmm...I ran Heroic SV and out dps'd a rogue by over 100k. Is that TOP enough for you? lol dmg meters aren't all they're cracked up to be unless its against a boss with an enrage timer.

In very long fights, rogues will consistently out-dps mana classes because they have to worry about going OOM and using time to fix that. Rogues bring utility to several bosses (at least in our strategies), such as killing adds in phase 1 on A'lar, interrupting priests on Solarian, applying the magic debuff and dispelling MCs with the dagger on Kael'thas, etc.

Overall it is best to have a balanced raid group. If you have too little or too much melee DPS your raid will suffer.

DPS warriors can do the same. Interupts on the priests during solarian, and using daggers for Kael. so..about the rogues....

There is some pretty good points made in this thread. For 5 man's, you can usually get by with a sap and honestly most heroics are cake if you have a decent tank and/or healer. As far as 25 man content, thats an entire different animal.

I don't feel this thread is "o boards material" its just a few people that aren't thinking about the subject and just throw a QQ here and a cake comment there......Rogue class is in trouble, and has been for a while. Its a wonder why most people take 2 or less rogues to BT these days. And thats suppose to be the melee friendly content

Don't get me wrong. My previous threads have been not too rogue friendly, but the fact is I know they do mad dps, but thats it, which is ok I guess. The fact of the matter is, I would rather have a rogue in my melee group rather than a friggin Hunter, regardless of their 125AP TS aura. A rogue benefits more from me than a hunter does. It sux so bad when our main Rogue has to get on his Paladin to help tank BT because I get at least 2 huntards in my group >.<
