Rogues To Get Some Love?

Its no secret that here at World of Warcraft Armory, I loves me some rogues. So since I just read an interesting article about a big rogue post on the European official forums, I figured I should share it. It is a big list of concerns for the rogue class. As you know, this is something I would be quite interested in.

Now, most of the concerns are dealing with PvP, specifically being able to be tracked after using Vanish, and just the general nature of losing the spot as top damage dealer.

It is a tight rope that Blizzard has to walk when dealing with... balancing. Man, I didn't realize where that sentence was going when I started with the tight rope analogy. Sorry.

Anyway, Blizzard has to balance all the classes for two completely different systems in PvP and PvE. To me, it looks like one of those variety show acts where they have to keep all the plates spinning at the same time. That just can't be easy. They fix something for PvP and now the PvE players are calling the class overpowered. So they adjust things the other way and now PvP folks are crying foul.

I've spent a lot of time on both types of servers and I can understand the issue from both sides. But I think I have to come down on the side of PvE, if only because that's where 95% of the game is. Even on a PvP server, you have to deal with PvE to get to high enough level to really enjoy the PvP. So it doesn't make sense to me to overly worry about PvP if you're doing it at the expense of PvE balance.

Please notice I didn't say to not worry about balance in PvP. Of course I think they should do their best to balance PvP, but if it comes down to brass tacks, the devs have to come down on the side of PvE.

If you've got an opinion on this issue, I'd love to hear it and write about it here at the World of Warcraft Armory. If you've never played PvP and want to give it a shot to see what the fuss is about, you might want to get this guide to level up as quickly as possible, because the higher level PvP is where the fun is at.
