Rogue DPS getting better in Patch 3.0.8
Patchwerk isn't necessarily the perfect test case for dps. It is a simple fight, but these days it is also getting very short and some classes thrive on short fights where they can maximize specific abilities or cooldowns. The rogues don't have to move, but neither do the hunters or Frostfire mages. The warriors aren't getting a ton of extra rage from collateral damage.

But I tend to agree that rogues are too low. They should look better in 3.0.8 when some of the 6000+ dps outliers are brought down some.

I think in retrospect rogues (talking Assassination really) were the victims of a couple of tricky bugs. We all freaked out at the damage they were doing near the end of beta and lowered their damage only to find later that a few poison bugs were causing some of the excessive damage.

The primary reason we haven't fixed it yet is because rogues seem to be doing very well in PvP and careless dps buffs for noble PvE purposes could just make that situation worse. I do apologize for the situation rogues are in currently and we hope it will look better after 3.0.8.

P.S. I know some players don't give a fig about PvP and are offended that we have to worry about PvP balance when solving PvE problems. WoW is enjoyed by a lot of different players for different reasons and we try to keep them all in mind. (Source)

Embuscade donne donc 2 pts de combo mais n'est plus boosté par mortalité. Coups bas ne subit plus de rendement décroissant du à autre chose que lui même, mais par contre Aiguillon subit des RD suite à tous les autres stuns. Donc plus possible d'en profiter à fond à la suite d'un stun de mage ou pala par exemple.

Autre gros changement, les talents de resist au dispel ne marchent plus que sur les dots, donc poison mortel, mais plus affaiblissant ou douloureux : aie !

Actuellement le rogue est classé en 5ème position sur le classement SK100, avec seuleument 8% (contre 31 pour les pala O.o). Le premier rogue est en 35ème position (et dans un BG espagnol). Sur les 8 rogue, 5 sont spec mutpi/prep, 2 shadow dance et un combat.

Rapport à mon dernier sondage, je suis étonné de voir que vous êtes peu à trouver que Wintergrasp est le point fort de WotLK. N'est-ce pas plus intéressant que les BG ?
