Infraction: Rogues suck and so do you!

Message to User:

1) Use proper capitalization.
2) Excessive whining and speculation without much in the way to back it up.
3) Armory link is broken, searching reveals no Solange on Mug'thol either.

P.S. Just looking at the WoW forums recruitment board shows plenty of guilds recruiting for T6 geared rogues.

Original Post:

Seriously, being afraid that the entire class is going to lose a raid spot is ludicrous.

i think a lot of this rose-colored glasses stuff may be coming from rogues that havent had to apply cold to guilds in a while, and raid with friends where their spot is assured.

right now, rogues have the highest dps in 25man raids by a ridiculous margin. And yet no one is recruiting them, and T6-level epic rogues are a dime-a-dozen and no one gives a hoot. They'll take T6 enh shaman in a flash though (utility), and obviously everyone is on their knees begging for any type of priest/druid/shaman healer. OK - it's tougher for dps classes, we're used to that.

NOTE: On live, these "dps classes" DO NOT include moonkin or feral, ret pally, shadow priest - their dps is laughable, literally 1/2 that of rogue. shaman slightly better though not much. or any spec of DK. Note again that even mages/locks/fury warrior are noticeably below rogues in dps. AND STILL NO ONE'S LOOKING FOR A ROGUE FOR THEIR RAIDING GUILD.

Now, add all the above specs, countless numbers of them, into the dps population pool for the VERY first time, all doing rogue single-target dps by design, and all having crazy utility (plus aoe damage)... and tell me that rogues with their Expose Armor, Sap, and tricks of the trade "raid utility" aren't proper F'd.
