The Rise and Fall of Rogues | buy wow gold

Now I think we all have our little stereotypes of stealth classes branded into our minds by now.  However, seeing as World of Warcraft was a lot of people's first major foray into seriously playing an MMORPG, people flocked to the buy wow gold Rogue for the rush of approaching an opponent from the shadows, unseen!  Unfortunately, these newbies didn't know a Kidney Shot from Buckshot, and we quickly got a bad rap.  Many rogues would run around like maniacs in instances, attacking targets seemingly randomly and just laying into them with no regard for threat.

But hey, it wasn't all bad.  We got scaling from Attack Power on a lot of our finishers, and no longer had to spam Detect Traps vs. Hunters in PvP when it was made passive.   Thankfully, Burning Crusade handed us a lot of new toys shortly afterwards.

You could only Mutilate from behind.  Well, so much for leveling that.  60-70 was dominated by more sword specialization and hammering of that already worn out Sinister Strike key.  I tell you, we had it rough then.

But then we also got one of the most hated abilities ever given to Rogues.  Cloak of Shadows.  With the flick of a switch, the push of a button, we shrugged all magic currently on us off and ignored it more or less for seconds afterwards.  The tears, they were beautiful.  I could've dined on them.  Time and time again, the warlocks fell without putting up much of a fight.  Perhaps that really hasn't changed much, hm?  Against healers, Wound poison was changed to deal damage in addition to the debuff, making it a more viable main hand poison than before.

Hunger For Blood was a powerful new assassination talent, but boy were we vocal about having to hit it every so often to keep it active.  No other class has had such a potent self buff that they had to keep refreshing every 30 seconds with the exception of the old Paladin Seals.  But who cares about those stupid warriors of the light. We have a trainable Cloak of Shadows, kneel before us!
