I suspect I’m not alone in being somewhat disappointed with the updates rogues have received in Mists. From talking to other rogues and reading the discussion on various forums, the consensus seems to be that the planned rogue changes are, well, bland. Boring. Uninspired. And, in a number of cases, buggy.

And unfortunately, it’s mostly too late to do much about this. We’re simply too close to launch for them to make major changes. Its all well and good to point out that...

A battle between all the rogues named 'Backstabb' and all the warlocks named 'Sauron' would be nearly as epic as the rumble between all the 'Beef' Taurens and the 'Legolas' Night Elves, two groups that have waged a smear campaign longer than Mages have been trying...

Know your character.

I often play AV on my druid, because Blizzard’s ingenious design forces hybrid classes to grind out 3 times more honor than other classes. When I heal random people as they try to kill their opponents I often look at what they specifically attempt to do. I remember a case in AV where I was healing a warrior as he tried to kill a paladin while another warrior was beating on him. I whispered the warrior to apply Battle Shout. In response he told me that he was...
