The constant nerfing of rogues is going yet another step on in the coming patch – the haste rate nerf.
It seems as if blizz is trying to turn the rogues into peons or just to get rid of this class. So, being a sporty kind of rogue, I’ve decided to give Blizz a hand and write down some more suggestions to be implemented on the next patches. Follow them, and you’ll have no more rogues by the time the dreaded Death Knight will start to roam around.
How can blizzard nerf the rogues even more
- Leather is too OP, rogues should wear clothes.
- Vanish is an unfair advantage. It should have a 30 min cool down and a chance to increase threat by 500%.
- Off hand damage should be reduced to 10%. 50% is just too high. Main hand should be penalized two, just to make things even. I’d say that 60% damage is good enough for a main hand.
- Lockpicking can have a chance for the item, being picked, to explode and cause 9000 area damage.
- Average price on Super Healing Pots is just 3G, Blizz should change the ingredients again to include at least 1 primal air.
- Hit rating hasn’t been nerfed yet. Hint hint, nutch nutch, say no more, say no more.
- The number of Combo Points required for each use should be doubled.
- Back stub should require 100 energy.
- Evasion may have a chance on use to leave the rogue naked and stunned. Just to make evasion tanking so much funnier.
- And last but not least – “Rogue” is a too powerful word. The class name should be changed.
I suggest “Scarecrow“, to reflect the fact that our powers are being taken away and still there are some fools being afraid of us and constantly asking blizz to nerf rogues even more.
But hey, i shouldn’t just bitch.
Thank you Blizzard for Increasing the frequency and amount of Blinding Powder drops.

11. Rogues will no longer be able to use swords, daggers or maces. They can only equip 10 lb. catfish. (and no enchants allowed)
I know exactly what you’re talking about. I’m a 70 rogue on Destromath, and it’s impossible to do anything against people with HP. Since BC came out, everyone has over 10k health, which makes it almost impossible for sustained damage for rogues. Although we excel at initial output, how can we compete with Warriors that hit for 1k white when we struggle to do more than 500 SS damage? Not to mention their overpower vs evasion or hamstring and bleed (CloS can’t touch that). Being a rogue is doom and gloom now – we just can’t do enough damage now, and are too fragile for BG’s with multiple ranged or melee (Not to mention Arena).
T.T
quit bitchin. rogues have tooooo many hp’s. are an evasion class…. mace spec and shadow step and you can kill anything. first off, ever tried dueling a rogue with a spell caster? if its not instant cast, your not using it…. kick needs a better cooldown. between mace spec, kidney shot, cheap shot, gouge, vannish and bitch of shadows…. gimme a break. if you have problems with staying alive with a rogue, your garbage. put your account on ebay.
10k health… if i only have a tiny window of oppertunity to attack you dont need 10k health guys. also mace spec needs a change. i would suggest an armor reduction proc or somethin. additional stuns is way too excessive.
the only class capable of getting out of stun lock right now is the mage. its rediculous.
increase kicks cooldown and change mace spec and it wouldnt be so bad…
lol rogues are op, i play a war and they stil beat me alot with stunlocks, ye i can kill them in 4 or 5 hits but they can cc ppl taken 0 dmg 1v1 for every 8 secs out of like 15 then when you get them low they cloak of shadows for 0 dmg for another 10 seconds.
kinda wish i rolled a rogue instead war since they survive longer than wars and got stealth and rack out more dmg along with tons of cc…oh wait we get ms big wow and plate though rogues have no prob taken my hp down as fast i take theres.
rogues complaining about nerfs should try play another class and see how really easy you have it.
if rogues have it so bad why is it the most played class at 70 at leeast on my server

Lol i dont believe it ! the problem with rogues is they dont have ENOUGH nerfs, i agree with the comments war made. Try playing a different class up to 70 and u will see how op u are. lol rogues complaining about nerfs …. i play a Disc / Holy Priest and the second i get sapped i know that 80% of the time its over for me, depends if i manage to put on pain suppression or if my Ohh so Amazing Fear will work on u which it never does of course. lol i know i have a solution for ya lets nerf priests even more so its even easier for a rogue to rape them, and lets not forget your percious spell lock lets give that a buff up so u can screw us casters up even more, mmm lets say spell lock of about 20 secs so u can take your time killing us, sound good ?. Lets not forget about Arena – Rogues are the SCUM of arena allowed to use poisons and vanish into thin air when in trouble like the cowards u all are. Rogues are a nuisence, as a healer i know, always rushing in PVE never controlling their dps taking aggro off the tank and making life harder for everyone else. if i have 1g for every wipe a rogue caused i will be the richest player in wow. U GUYS HAVE NO SKILL YOU ARE NOT TEAM PLAYERS full of ego and overconfident due to u being so OP and u deserve every nerf u get maybe u start using some skill and learn what team work is all about. and if u dont pawn as a rogue in PvP give up WOW cos u must suck like hell.
Hmmm…
Lol . Poor priest, rogues do have a liking for them i must admit but thats just how the game is and Blizz doesnt care much for the priest class anyway. But the priesty does raise a few good points, you shouldnt be allowed to use that disapper thing u do in arena not very fair and u are an over powered class, but i cant complain much. And thats is y i play a Hunter FTW
Totally agree with #6 Mar. For example a rogue with a resto drood in 2v2 is fucking unkillable! The rogue CC’s while dps’ing and he cant be killed with cloak of shadows, cheat death and all that cinda stuff, the druid just puts on his hots and goes hiding somewhere while the rogue just stuns you too death.. Blizz nerf them plix!
You must be high, rogues are the most overpowered class in wow, I see you’ve never tried playing anything else so you obviously don’t know how ridiculously unfair the advantage you have against all the other classes, especially Warlocks, the is almost no way that an equally geared rogue can lose to a warlock unless he sucks, your class has answers to everything, your stunlocks get anybody to half their HP without them blowing a hit on you, If anything, rogues are not getting enough nerfs, no wonder its the most overplayed class in Wow, check the census, they double in quantity of almost everybody else.
Try another class, then your whining will be legitimate.
People who say rogues are op just suck at their class. Blizz has done nothing but nerf rogues and give other classes boosts since BC. Rogues cant hit with huge crits now that people are running around with 400 resiliency.
What’s the point of crippling poison when every other class gets an equivalent action? Rogues lose whatever other poison they can use for crippling. Totems, wingclip, hamstring, ice, frost traps, hammer of justice and everything else doesnt cost the caster the ability to do something else.
Next time you say rogues are op try running into a warrior with 16k armor and 4 different bleeds and see how op they are.
No heals and leather is NOT OP!!
Nerf Rogues Nerf Rogues Wah they stunned me.. Have you ever fought a rogue while wearing a pvp trinket.. Yknow what. NO… I’ll take all the damn pve nerfs you wanna give me just explain to me why i need 300+ hit rating to hit a 2 story monster at point blank range while getting my ass AOE’d while a hunter needs around 140 sits back relaxes and just times steady shot?
All you people wanting pvp nerfs are cutting into our pve. I’ve lost groups because when they said they wanted cc/dps they meant a hunter.
against a player with trinkets rogues are a joke. In pve their just a burden on healers. let the nerfing stop before rogues become extinct and when that happens than whos gonna open the damn lock boxes that you people tip 10s for?.
I would like to see a rogue here play a priest and yes with a trinket and all that jazz. whilst doing BG every 10 seconds u get jumped by one rogue – stun -75% health gone , try to heal Spell locked, fear -he uses trinket or if unded use racial, laughes at u and finishes his combo…….. Priest = dead , not one hit or spell mmmm , maybe a shadow word pain. I dont care if u find it a problem to kill a warrior or a hunter, here’s a tip DONT , and if they attack you, at least you have the ability to escape if needed (cheat death , vanish), all priests get is Fear which doesnt work. I think rouges shouldnt be nerfed BUT certain cloth wearers should have more abilities to counter being jumped by a rogue. I have seen a rogue being pounded on by 7 players, yeah his health went down to 1% in a flash ……Untill …… Dam cheat death……. Vanish……. Dont Complain u guys u DONT need healing abilities u make up for it in other ways .
Quit yer whining
everyone has resilience, you dont think that other people struggle with killing other people because of resilience? Pfffft. It’s more equal than you know. You just want to moan about nothing because you’re not pvp gods any more. Cut us a break.
Bah you misuderstood the entire OP if you ask me. Lfgkz was just messing with you all. Wanted to see how people would react and he tried to be funny. Well he succeded. I loled.
And I learned something new today. There are countless whiners around. You guys are pathetic…
Its a fact that rogues have troubles killing healers and plate wearers. And its a fact we can kill dps cloth wearers.
And thats balance.
Then i see all the mages and warlocks qq-ing about rogues and cloak of shadows and stuff. So warlocks can kill any class and so can mages (well warlocks are also a pain for you). But they are having troubles killing a rogue. And then as dumb and selfish as they are they do everything to get the rogues nerfed.
Lame, pathetic….
Learn what balance is people and stop crying like little girls.
You want Cloak of shadows nerfed? then a rogue becomes a what? Anti-rogue class?
you make me lol.
and the last thing. I can not believe a warrior just came to whine about rogues here -.- I have only 1 thing to say to you. l2p
Oh one more thing. stack 450+ resilience and go fight a rogue. watch him burn all his cooldowns and watch him die from dots.
If you are not good enough to get a good gear its not my problem.
cya little girls
SHut the fuck up all you haters. Rogues are no OP. To say it shows your a nub or you just suck so bad at playing your class you should delete your account.STFU haters
tbh rogues r the most op class in the game atm so all u “rogues aren’t OP they need buffing” ppl stfu lol
ROFL ?????? Omg Rogues are OP ? Man lets look at this by comparing equal geared opponents, like in a friendly duel.
Druids? Ye right Juve FTW, Warriors? If u QQ about getting pawned by a rogue with equal gear ask for ur money back from the guy who sold u ur account on ebay. Frost Mages? Freeze, Blink, Freeze Blink, wtf stunlock and mages can still blink? Dont make me laugh, that doest take skill thts just somthing blizz gave to 12 year old players who don;t have skill. Pallies? Bubble, then kick our asses while vanish and all our other shit is on CD, ye we have toys like Vanish and CoS but fuck we have to blow it all up front against any fucking class now.
I like turtles.
Well the reason why the nerfed us is cus we scale so well with gear that our FoK damage got a tad bit OP but it was still nothing compared to a Huntard spamming volley with AP gear which would still outdo u. 30 whole % is a tad to much tho it proly shoulda been no worse than 20%. Alot of people complain the rogues r to simple to play but alot of people dont seem to realise what it takes to perform high numbers throughout a raid (especially on single targets). A rogue with good gear can still easily pull over 5k on a single target. A rogue with amazing gear will see themselves pushing near 6k in a single target place like VoA (believe it or not lol). We are still amazing for single target but as long as our damage is still COMPETITIVE in multi target fights i cant really complain i guess….as long as they leave our one and only AoE by everyone elses and do not reduce it below theirs I can live with the nerf…i think..
