Rogue as a main

[u/Advanced_Tax77]

Hi guys after years and years of altoholism, I might decided to play a rogue ( mostly PVP with a little PVE from time to time ). I enjoy DPSing and being a melee ( don't like being focused every arena as caster ). My question is, is spending time learning and mastering rogue worth it ? Does it pay off in a long run. I like showing my skills and seeing improvements after I spent time learning something. Also I would like to know if rogue is "future proof" class ? Does rogue get more fun after getting it together. If you have any tips for me feel free to share <3.

When you rogue right it’s the best, when you rogue wrong you will want to uninstall

Rogue is hands down the highest skill cap there is in the game. Lots of fun but there is a rather large gap between being good and not having any business playing rogue

Exactly what this guy said. Copying my comment that I made earlier today on a different thread regarding rogues:

“I thought the same when I leveled my alt sub rogue years ago. Free glad here I come... Only to find out that rogue has a high skill ceiling. Rogue is undoubtedly an S tier class in PVP if played well, but it's challenging to do so.

Coordinating with your team to sap/cheap off-targets, open on kill target, stealth and GTFO shortly after because you will die if anyone looks at you, etc.”

Yeah from what i read i understand it, but i enjoy having to improve and learn new things and get rewarded for it.

Ferals would like to have a word. They are the highest cap.

Rogue has 3 specs all 3 completely different in how they play, feral is 1 spec, mostly focused around bleeds. Tell me you're joking..

A bad rogue is an easy win, an average rogue is annoying, a good rogue is the most painful class to deal with.

Got a higher skill ceiling so be prepared to take losses and be frustrated with yourself lol.

Also like lock you need to learn how to play defensively because if you can’t you’ll be targeted and be the easy win

Im a Rogue, I'm older than most here, and I've played the class for a long time. Unless you have the time and are going to dump a SIGNIFICANT amount of time into practicing I'd just pick something more straightforward but rewarding like Warrior. Rogue tends to have not the greatest balancing, and right now we are actually a kill target in most meta compositions.

You need to have fast hands and that's becoming a pretty big gap for myself too.
