I did 45 marks worth of Eye of the Storm today, and several AB's, as it was today's daily. I got 8k honor today from just EotS and AB. I don't know how to play my Rogue anymore. Pre-update, with my current, not-so-good gear, I was typically always in the top 10 DPS. I could do ok against some classes, bad against others. I took pride in my rogue and had a lot of fun playing it.
But now? I don't know. As ShS, going 18/0/43, my top damage was 2.5k-3.5k Evis's. If I crit. Hemo does about 1.2-1.4k to non-plate crit (for me).
But..These druids wearing not so good gear, can prance around me spamming 2k regular attacks in tiger form, shamans can shoot me for 2.1k uncrit lightning bolts, warriors can 6.4k crit execute me, mages can spam instant cast 2.5k spells, shamans can throw me off cliffs, paladins just own everybody anyways, Warlocks have this retarded stun thing that stuns you for 3 sec's and does 1.4k damage.
I basically just run in and die now. I never, ever, EVER had that problem pre-update. I can maybe get lucky enough to pop some damage on someone before someone else recognizes me and starts spamming 2-3k regular non crit attacks.
Rogues that get me in stunlock don't even kill me in 10 seconds, usually. Why? Because Rogue is terrible now. They can't go ShS and get *ANY* form of spike damage at all. The basic form is in hemo, which crit doesn't even break what other classes are hitting for normally. Ambush sucks just as bad as it did, so that's not really any form of spike damage I can use.
I've tried Muti (Crappy daggers so I can't really use this as a viable build yet), I've tried Combat, i've tried sub, i've tried all sorts of crap. Probably spent about 300 gold respecc'ing now, when I was at the 15G respec to begin with. The best build i've found is Combat, which usually puts me in 10th or 11th in the DPS out of 30. Which sucks.
Shadow Dance blows. I'd rather have 2% more poison proc then that crap.
So. What the hell? What are we supposed to do? Is muti with epic daggers really the *ONLY* way to PVP now? Or is getting S5 S6 gear the only way to go?
I've only seen ONE rogue past the 5th DPS spot today in every BG i've been in.
