Quote:Have you paid attention to anything I said about classes being foils of each other? Every class was designed with a particular role in mind in PvP. By changing Vanish in this way, they are taking away one of the Rogue's foils.
The game is not balanced rock-paper-scissors style. Any class can effectively deal with any other class with a certain talent spec and level of skill.
Mages are supposedly a Warrior's foil, yet I have very little trouble in wrecking them without taking very much damage. Maybe the Mages I've been butchering suck, but even the best Mage I've fought wasn't extremely difficult, and he's Frost. Obviously, I can't do much against cooldown Mages (I think AP+Pyro is the build), since they'll fry me before I can do any real damage to them, but that also means they're effortless until their CDs are back up.
Druids are supposed to be able to beat Warriors easily, yet Restoration Druids are the only kind that give me any kind of difficulty; Feral builds can't do nearly enough damage to me, and Balance builds go OOM well before I'm in danger of death.
I've also heard people say that Pallies should beat Warriors with reasonable ease, yet I've still yet to encounter a Paladin that I've had to play at my highest level to beat. This includes Pallies of all three build types (Holy is by far the most numerous, from what I've seen.) Holy can be a pain with Holy Shock for a burst heal, Retribution is effortless, and Protection is a 30-minute duel.
Like Quark has said, I seriously doubt Vanish killing Hunter's Mark is going to make Hunters useless against a Rogue. You could always just drop a Flare and camp on a trap until the Rogue loses interest. Or, since it's possible we're talking about BG PvP here (and I'm assuming we are, since Quark plays on a PvE server), you could simply tag him with a Serpent Sting and laugh as the rest of your team butchers him when the poison knocks him out of Stealth.
EDIT: Additionally, I don't think any class has a set role in PvP (well, besides classes with heals being healers in addition to whatever else they enjoy doing.) A cookiecutter MS/Enrage Warrior can cut down squishies just as fast (or even faster) than any Rogue can, and Priests can do single-target damage more effectively than Mages and perhaps Warlocks, given the correct spec.
ArrayPaladins were not meant to sit in the back of the raid staring at health bars all day, spamming heals and listening to eight different classes whine about buffs.[/quote]
