Seriously, nerf rogues!
by Belgrythaz | 05/04/2007 19:12:17 I know that I will probably get replies like *omg L2play nab* but it's time that someone said this properly. Rogues need a serious nerf and I have several arguments for that: 1. My lvl 24 rogue (average gear for that lvl. Mostly greens and some blues) crits about twice as much with ambush than my lvl 29 hunter (with better than average gear and some enchants worthy of a lvl 45-50, no serious twink though) crits with arcane shot. Both attacks are instant, rogues require stealth and hunters require aspect of the hawk and hunter's mark to make the best of the crit. 2. (This is what made me write this topic) Today when I played wsg with this mage I applied improved ice armor (gives 728 armor), Ice Barrier (absorbes 985 damage), mana shield (absorbes 570 damage), and also I had Knight-Lieutenants silk handwraps (absorbes 285 extra damage when your mana shield is active). I had about 4500 hp left. This rogue sneaked up to me from behind and stunlocked me. He depleated all my shields and killed me in maybe 4 secs, and he was only 3 lvls over me. 3. Rogues have always the element of surprise (ok, 95% of the cases anyway. I know warlocks can see invisibility and humans has got perception and there is this engineering thing and so on), and this is very important in PvP. I don't suggest that you should remove the rogues' stealth ability or something, but it's ridiculously overpowered to give them the element of surprise and the ability to lock you from defending yourself. I realise that a perfect stunlock can be hard sometimes to achieve, but even if it failes you can gouge and do other things to make a kind of semi-stunlock anyway (or just vanish and try again). Maybe this could be solved by making the stunlock release its target when a certain amount of damage has been made to it or something? I'm open for suggestions. 4. If you still think that rogues shouldn't be nerfed, have a look at the clips "World of Roguecraft". There are 3 episodes and I know that they are kinda long so you don't have to watch it all, but it gives you an idea of what I mean. http://www.roguecraft.com/movies.html Or just search on google video and you'll find them. I know rogues are balanced when it comes to PvE, but it's a nerf in the PvP environment that I'm after. |
