rogues boring???Follow

You find rogues *boring*? The only time I can imagine a rogue to seriously be boring is when you run an easy raid boss as combat spec and you spend 5 minutes spamming SS. Heck, they're the most ADD class in the game. Give Unreal Tournament a try, it's the only thing I can think off with a faster phase =P

I'm going to run before the whole area gets nuked from space.

Soccer is boring. Cricket is boring. Ballet is boring. British dramas are boring. Tabletop gaming is boring.

Rogues are not. Try playing Mutilate. If you don't like that spec, you're obviously some kind of alien from a galaxy where the prime form of entertainment is watching snails crawl, or something.

This guy was on the shaman forums earlier. I am almost certain he's a troll.

Edit: A really, really, really bad troll.

I'm assuming you're talking from a raiding perspective here, as spamming one move is not practical in any other circumstance because the fights just don't lend themselves to "Stand and Spam" - questing, the fights are too quick, and PvP is a madhouse that I avoid at all costs, and spamming a single ability there will get you killed.

So, with that in mind, I challenge you to track down a class that does NOT involve spamming 1 or 2 abilities in a raiding environment. When it comes down to the core, each class has it's highest one or two damage dealing abilities that will be the staple for raiding DPS ... and you'll spam those abilities over and over again (some classes you only spam ONE ability). Ultimately, that makes not only Rogues boring, but any other class as well (and by extension, that makes raiding boring as well ... but I won't go there, as that's a whole other argument).

If you don't like the class (which is simply what I see here, despite your "I love my rogue" assertions), then go and play something else ... every class has it's own unique play style, and you're bound to find something that you don't find boring in one or other setting. The differences at the core are getting smaller and smaller, but they're still differences.

Now, you've said Rogues and 'locks are boring, and it appears you've been saying the same as Shammies. Go and try the fury warrior, but if you don't like spamming abilities, then you're going to find spamming Bloodthirst and Whirlwind over and over again just as boring. Ultimately, if you can't find a class that you don't think is boring, then clearly, it's time to quit and go and play Soccer (or Football, or the "game of kings", or whatever you want to call it).

Then again, you may just be one of those who find your excitement and drive from leveling (given your comments about getting to level 70 and losing interest), so why force yourself into something you don't want to do ... roll something else, get one of each class to 70, then do it again on the other faction (you'll be surprised what a difference it is doing the areas from the opposing faction)

Look, seriously. You're really bad at this.

The point of trolling is to deceive other people into thinking that you're being serious. That's why it's called trolling. You're just making it blatantly obvious that you're here to stir people up.

So that's it ... Boring = small number, Fun = big numbers .... :|

I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you weren't trolling, hence my reply being written in such a way as to show an attempt at understand why you would find the play style of a rogue boring over anything else.

However, your 2 subsequent responses have pretty much cemented the fact that you are indeed trolling. The fact that you continuously refer to your statement that the rogue is boring, and then you go and refer to the people who have responded to you and your assumption that they're all offended by your comments are what reinforce the blatant troll.

It's plain and simple, you're here to get a rise out of the board, and you're doing a very bad job at it.

As a reference point, my rogue is my alt .. I have a warrior as a main, and yes, he's spec'd TG at the moment ... and it really kicks ***. But it does so in a different way to how a rogue kicks ***. Neither is boring, but that's my opinion.

I was going to say that my only assumption is that you want the rogue, but you want a rogue to play like a warrior, which is probably why you're feeling frustrated ... yes, I was going to say that, and attempt to expand on it to offer more insight, and a possible reason you might find it "boring" ... but then I realised that you have no intention of listening to anything anyone has to say, you're here to troll, and that's it.
