Is No One Specced Subtelty Anymore?Follow

Way too much elitism going on in this thread.

Is raiding hard? I don't know, what's your definition of hard? Are you/were you in a hardcore raiding guild that was doing Sunwell in TBC? If so, then WotLK has probably been a walk in the park for you so far. If you're in a casual raiding guild (or worse) you might be surprised just how little you can take for granted.

It may not seem like much to some of you, but having to rely on nine other people not to die on Heigan or having a group without the perfect set-up kiting the Zombie Chow on Gluth or doing Grobbulous with five melee DPS is challenging enough for me.

Is Rogue DPS hard? Objectively, no. I don't think it is. DPS as a whole is the easiest damn job in the game. Obey the fight mechanics and hit your rotations obey your priority systems to the best of your undeniably human ability. If you ***** up, the worst thing that is likely to happen is that your output will be lower than it should be. It's not like being a tank or a healer where if you ***** up someone--and potentially 9-24 other someones--die as a direct result of your shortcomings.

Relatively speaking, however, yes, I personally think Rogue DPS is hard. They've got a heck of a lot more to manage than most other DPS classes out there do.

And we know which ones you call back.



And it shouldn't be hard to raid Naxx as a newbie if you have a semi-competent raid leader. Melee dps really only has to worry about a few things in the entire raid, and if you can't follow the group in the Heigan dance you need to be /gkicked, as you haven't learned mouse mechanics, much less class mechanics.

OP I'm not sure if you are still checking this, but I've gone Subtelty for leveling. Jumping out of Stealth and critting with ambush for 3/4 of the mobs health is hot. Yes, it kind of sucks with adds... there goes my burst damage potential on the 2nd mob, but S&D and I'm ok.

Now that I got "all" that I basically want with Subelty for the moment I've been branching off for the DW OH extra damage, as well as the +hit damage, and of course Close quarter combat for the extra crits with dagger/fist weapons in the Combat brance. I've also just started with Malice in Assassination branch.

I made my mind up a long time ago when I started collecting my BoA items, that I'd go dagger Rogue since my BoA daggers scale as I level. Loving it, and very very very little downtime. I don't eat between fights, rarely bandage. Positioning of mobs can get tricky, or you have to be patient, but it gets the job done lol.

So far, loving the spec. It might not be optimal for raiding or instance (since until Tricks of the Trade, Ambush from stealth is a no-no), but as they say To each his own.

That's nothing.

I've spent 3251g on my DK and 1625g on my rogue.

I don't even want to know how much I've spent on my rogue in total; I'd estimate easily 20k or more since 2004.

22 days on my DK, 219 days on my rogue, and more across my 70 priest, 70 hunter, 65 hunter, and 70 shaman.

Obviously.

55 days on the rogue,
81 on the lock,
173 on the warrior.
40ish on the druid?

._.

wow!

I didn't expect such a big response. Sorry i didn't reply earlier but i've had computer problem. I need to run now but i'll be sure to read all this tonight.

Sub.. is sub-par?

I see what you did there.

It's never too late to talk about me.
