How are rogues doing these days?Follow

#1 Mar 25 2008 at 4:59 AM Rating: Decent
Can rogues still do some crazy things nowadays?
Like own everything there is around? (one by one)

Do skilled rogues have what it takes to kill a skilled warrior?
Or is it just the impossible match-up?

One more thing.. would I be happier with a druid? Like do druids do what rogues do but better with all the heals and stuff?

Rogue is really getting my attention.. oh and can they do well with a warrior in PvP? (BG &/or Arena)

Yes. Who can't, honestly though. Maybe not a holy paladin. No, they usually can too, just slower.

All things being equal, from what I've heard the warrior will win more often, but its not a lost cause. I don't have a ton of experience in that department though.

druids do what rogues do worse. They can do other things too though. So it depends on what you like. If you really like rogue stuff, you'll like druid less, if you like a mix of things, maybe you'll like druid more.

I thought you had said one more thing and this is two things. Please insert another twenty-five cents.

heheh.. sorry! ^^
I wrote that like 1 min before I had to run to my bus this morning.
But yeah, thanks for answering all that..
May I inquire as to WHAT do rogues do worst? and then of course what do rogues do that druids simply can't compare to?

digitalcraft said that Druids do what rogues do worst, I'm pretty sure he didn't mean that.
Maybe a rephrase..
What are the things that a rogue & druid can do? and what can a rogue do that a druid can't? and like the advantages to that?

I just need to know this kind of stuff to help me decide :)
I like to know what to expect so yeah..

Basically this is what I meant. Not really damage, but mainly stunlocking, and maybe damage too ;) Druids can do some things like a rogue, but they don't do it as well as a rogue can. That's the price they pay for being able to do things rogues cant, like turn into a bear, or heal, or cast magic spells. It'd be totally imbalanced if a druid could do all those and then stunlock like a rogue, for instance.

I don't know about a rogue/warrior combo in PvP, i'm sorry.

Rogues also have an anti healing debuff.

Leveling a rogues is rather easy if you go combat swords. You can do what you like but this is optimal. I mention leveling because you won't be able to affectively stun-lock until 30 when you'll finally have kidneyshot in addition to cheap shot.

Rogues are great at single target DPS and no other class can DPS quite like the rogues can. Druids bring a lot more utility than a rogue but will never really shine in any particular area compared to classes designed for that role. In this example it is DPS. That's not to say druids aren't formidable, they simply won't do as well toe to toe in kitty form versus a rogue. To win fights the druid has to switch forms to something the class it's facing can't fight well.

If you are a person who likes to do all sorts of things then you'll probably love a druid. If you like being a sneaky person with a complicated skill set (in terms of PVP) then play a rogue. I've not been able to play anything other than a cat druid since I played a rogue. Killing things in 13 seconds or less has simply made me too impatient. ;-)
