Balancing Rogues DPS
If you balance rogues, hunters, locks and mages to all do the same dps on target dummies, then what you find in a raid is that the ranged dps comes out on top because the rogue has to spend a lot of potential dps time on positioning and running out of fires. This isn't true of every encounter, but it is true of a lot. (If there is an encounter where a rogue should shine, it's something like Patchwerk.) So rogue dps on a combat dummy probably needs to be higher so that net dps in a raid is about the same as other classes. Make sense?
And once again, if you are taking an inexperienced rogue in blues and PvP gear in a raid, then don't be surprised if expert Moonkin, Retadins, Fury warriors and Enhancement shammies (and all the other hybrids who will Suspect Something Is Up if I don't mention them) blast past him on the meters.
We're not sure if PvE rogue dps is too low. Some players clearly think it is. You can't just average out rogue dps across all WWS reports because you have no idea of the skill and gear involved without a lot of digging. Rogues are very sensitive to buffs and a lot of other factors. It's complicated and the solutions are tricky too. Just buffing rogue damage across the board could do bad things to PvP. Making them better now could make them way too good two tiers from now. These things take time sometimes.
We're also not going to keep anyone weak in PvE just because they are good in PvP or vice versa. (Source)
Rogue in PvE
We are taking a hard look at rogue PvE performance right now.
We don't think fixing the Master Poisoner bug is cause to give rogues a huge buff however. The issue is a little more complex than it is being portrayed in this thread. (Source)
Article intéressant de Ming où il compare les stats de Neilyo et Boozt. Ce dernier à un avantage énorme de par le stuff PvE, ce qui va forcément grandement faciliter ses débuts en arènes. Neilyo ne faisant pas de PvE, il se retrouve à la ramasse en stats avec encore bcp de stuff 70.
Neilyo 16/0/55, 14474HP, 2178AP and 21.89 crit - Boozt 15/51/5 standard combat fist/dagger, 3078AP, 34.56% crit. O.o omg les stats... pour du pré arènes c'est énorme, il va se ballader.
Si vous l'avez ratée, Neilyo 15 est sortie, c'est une vidéo de duels en 3.0, une partie contre Akrios (j'avais déj posté le point de vue d'Akrios) et une partie contre des mages spé froid.
Autre vidéo qui fait un peu rire mais qui fait un peu peur aussi, ce reportage.sur la sortie de WotLK et je sais plus quelle guilde de nolifes qui se sentent forts. Vous pourrez y voir la (grosse, très grosse) tête de Farz, ainsi qu'une jolie blonde qui joue à WoW. Fake ? ^^ Enfin, pour une fois que les médias n'associent pas un gros moche à lunettes aux MMO, c'est déjà ça...
