I despise WoW just as much as the next raving gaming elitist, but it is not fair to say that it is completely without its merits. I'm not a raving gaming elitist, I think WoW is one of the best games of all time, easily, but it was never because of its PvP. For both most players and the developers, PvP was an afterthought that was only kept alive due to a small group of core PvPers that beat the shit out everyone else by exploiting whatever was broken at the time. | ||

The Zandalarian Hero Charm + that other on-use mage trinket were much worse. FYI, there was no Mut in vanilla... Shall I presume you mean Seal Fate backstab? I personally did all my PvP with combat daggers / some points in Subt. Although, I will have to say, that my favorite rogue of all time was my BC combat/subt shadowstep hemo. Who was the guy who popularized that, Reckful? I remember it spread like wildfire after he (or someone else) beat an unbeatable gnome warrior on PTR dueling (think it was Serennia). By the way, whatever happened to Happymingi? EDIT - WTF, World of Ming is DEAD??? | ||

To be perfectly honest, I only played WoW during vanilla and TBC; then i stopped cuz IRL stuff (WoW has a nasty habbit of providing an alternative to real life, and real life was starting to get really good with college and such.) I always had a lot of fun in WoW pvp; never heard of Forge or Bloodline Champions, when it came to try hard compeititve stuff I stuck to teh starcrafts. I definetly agree with you that PvP is fundamentally broken in WoW, but that didnt stop it from being a lot of fun/eZ to understand quickly and jump back into. Not trying to bash yall, but trying to play the "you noob do this" card is kind of counterproductive :/ | ||

There are lots of new fun skills you can use in arenas.Every class can CC chain now.Also if you like burst damage I am sure you will be satisfied with PVP.Some dps classes have swifty macros that kill anyone in 1 2 globals.Also healers burst heal a lot and almost never go OOM. | ||

I was lumping you in with the hardcore PvP crowd, if you just wanna have fun, far be it from me to tell you what is and isn't fun. | ||

I played SWTOR earlier this year and my imperial agent was actually tons more fun than Cata rogue... Rogues are terrible. Not just "meh", but absolutely horrific. Damage is the worst in the game bar none, damage intake is far higher than any other class (even casters), and every other class has some mechanic for self-healing except Rogues; Recuperate doesn't even count as it's an absolutely horrific ability. The reason my Rogue is still my main is because the utility playstyle is quite fun, but the only way you're going to do anything as a Rogue is if you are very well-geared. | ||

I may still try it for a challenge. I have no interest in other classes (rogue is my OLD, OLD main and I don't do alts in games), but thanks.

Pretty wrong, rogues are fine. We only need a defense buff. I do an insane amount of damage as a rogue. Top dmg in BG's, 3v3 arenas and so on. Thing is, they made rogues harder to play if people don't know how to play them, they won't get the dmg they needed done. I can 1v1 any class other than monks because I have not figured them out yet. | ||

Pet content is the best content out at the moment :D. Otherwise MoP would be suffering the same problems as Cataclysm - having not much else to do other than raiding. http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/blackrock/Avelynn/pet#status=is-collected REPPIN THE STARCRAFT REFERENCES! Check out my Jangbi - it has storm! | ||

Nothing they did in MoP challenge-wise is any different than Cata. If anything, they've re-used more mechanics than in Cata...if for no other reason than they're really running out of feasible mechanics to use... | ||

Solo content, small group content? | ||
