You'd said that rogues have gotten a nerf every patch (So have hunters, even on our buff patch we got a few 'nice' nerfs) so what would you do to fix that? How'd you change things? Give rogues plate? A damage free bubble? Double DPS? What would you do, were you rogue developer, and your word was roguelaw?
No, no, no ... I want utility. Blizzard has recently stated that they no longer intend any one class to excel at damage compared to others. This was Caydiem's response to repeated (legitimate) Mage complaints about being called best Spell DPS when they're not even close to it. If that's true, and the recent patches are pointing in that direction, then Rogues need utility. Not just utility in new zones - in the current ones too. Without damage, Rogues are nothing. Supposedly one fight in BWL requires one or two Rogues. That's one fight in the entire game.
I want bugfixes. The ones that have been annoying us since the game went live, but aren't "important enough" for Blizzard to look at. I want talent changes. "Throwing Weapon Specialization?" Improved Garrote reducing DPS?
It also hurts that everyone responds with "Why do Rogues want mail? Why do Rogues want more DPS?" We don't, we never did, and we hate Tyren for flaming us for it instead of being a real community rep. We also hate Tyren for asking for feedback about 7 or so different subjects, then not replying to a single one of them.
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
