It also doesn't matter if a Rogue has 300 STR or 355 STR [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Rogues can fit Maniacal Strength into a competitive raid situation just fine. I have buffed Maniacal Strength plenty of times on top competitive targets. I am not sure what raid scenario you are talking about that doesn't have a Shaman buffing. I am not sure what solo/group scenario you are talking about that needs 255 STR for a Rogue to do good DPS. |
Any time-sensitive encounter like mobs that are instantly FTE'd on spawn, or encounters where the available shamans have better things to do than buffing. An example would be ST golems. I note that you didn't comment on the grouping aspect so I'm assuming you just conceded it. Anyway, since you are a shaman player, it's to be expected that you aren't aware that there can be situations in which you don't have shaman buffs as a rogue.
As a rogue, your job is dealing damage while not getting low hp aggro. In order to do this, you need a little bit of hp, lots of resists, and depending on the encounter (some VP dragons), a little to lots of healing/cures/runes/worts. Being reliant on stat buffs to deal damage is introducing a point of failure into your primary job. It's alright for guild bots, but if you're a serious rogue you have 255 str unbuffed, or you have a primal. No exceptions.
