Rogue Week
If you've been following the Alt Appreciation series you'll know that I love alts I have multiples of the same class three Druids, four Paladins etc but I have only one Rogue and I'll only ever have one Rogue. Not because she's special to me, not because she's important to me but because I loathe the class!
When it comes down to my love of classes I take a few things into account. Can they tank? Can they heal? Can they DPS from range? Most classes cover at least one, sometimes two of these. Rogues cover none. I hate playing Retribution but that's Ok because Paladins can both tank and heal.
I created my Rogue during Wrath to help my Priest get her Insane title by farming lock boxes for Ravenholdt reputation. Afterwards I spent a little bit of time with a friend and got her to level 83 where she'll remain until I inevitably delete her. I just detest melee DPS and that's all a Rogue can do. Boo hiss!
I hope your dislike is purely for the class and not that insanely cute little Gnome of yours!
ReplyDeleteNo it's purely for the class! I'd kind of like to roll a Gnome Priest but really I don't need any more Priests!
DeleteThat poor girl, sent out to pasture! Playing only melee classes, I have the opposite opinion for ranged classes. I just can't get it into my head -not- to run at my enemies, weapons glinting furiously. Though, I have dabbled in the ranged arts. Perhaps your rogue should get to level 85 and lock herself? I've found that being able to run the Cataclysm instances to be a treat that only a locked character can enjoy. And it gives you a chance to try out playing melee without the need to push to whatever level cap is upcoming. :p
ReplyDeleteI think that's perhaps my first hatred of playing the Rogue, my first character was a Warrior it was all about charging in! With Rogue I hate having to be all slow and stealthy! Just get in there and hit them in the face!
