I'm coming back after a 2-year break and trying to decide which class I want to roll. The game's installing as we speak (yay!)
I played a Hunter as my main before, but am looking for a different play-style this time around. I'm a damage-dealer at heart though, so I'm debating between Rogue, Lock, or a Mage.
Pleas put your bias towards Rogues aside just because you are one, I'm not looking to hear about how "OMG ROGUES RULE!" or "DUDE ROGUES ARE SO OP'D" or any of that nonsense. I'm just looking for some information to help me make a more educated decision.
As a Rogue, does using swords mean I don't have to worry about position? (i.e. being behind the mob)?
Is Rogue's CC (stuns and such) as useful in Raids as it is in PvP?
Player skill aside, is a Rogue going to be able to stay on top of Mage and Locks in the DPS meter in a Raid? I ask because Mages and Locks have great CC and utility, so if they can top a Rogue in DPS as well, I'd lean towards them.
How's Rogue downtime when grinding up to 70? If I'm leveling First Aid, am I going to have a lot of downtime?
Any other things you think I should consider when choosing between the three classes would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance
