Four or five weeks after I started playing WoW in Vanilla (my first char was a hunter), I played my friends' 60 undead rogue for an hour or two doing Tarren Mill/Southshore PvP. After a short 15 minute learning curve to figure out what the abilities did, I was already demolishing most of the other players.

Later on, when BGs came out, I was easily one of the highest ranked in every BG (except AV, which is slightly more difficult for rogues without organization), even though I never played a rogue on my own account.

Rogues just have too much control - particularly against most cloth/leather (not mages). Resto shamans were another easymode kill.

Abacab provided the cruise control version of rogues:



With good gear, you can kill most average to below average players this way.

But you can have even more fun with this little rotation, esp if you know the person doesn't use their trinket or has already used it:

CS > mutilate > Kidney shot > Mutilate > Evisc > blind > re-stealth > Sap for DR timers > Maybe re-sap for a little extra time > CS > Mutilate > Kidney shot > Mutilate > Evisc

You can throw in a vanish/Ambush or a number of other moves situationally.

There are similar class-based combos if you know how to use Evasion/CoS/Shadowstep/Dismantle(Resto shaman without a shield = lolz damage)/Etc that entirely throw them off their game. Dismantling a hunter was plain hilarious.

I dunno though, I haven't PvPed in Cataclysm. Maybe rogues suck. But I doubt it.

Rogues don't suck, they just look like they do now. The gear models are horrible.

Rogues are not as strong as what they were back during S2-S4 arena in BC. They changed them in cata so they have more self healing, like a feral druid, except after it proved to be useful they nerfed it. So they took them from a Bursting/CC class to a Outlasting/CC class. It may be different now, but judging from the Rogue forum posts and how they are exactly the same as 8months or so ago, i doubt it.

Rogues are just harder to get high KBs and Dmg in BGs compared to other classes that can just sit back and cast.

but I'm sure WoW pro's will disagree. Rogues are always OP.
