Rogues have a excellent damage output as well as crowd control, mobility, and defensive abilities.Īrena Viability for Rogue DPS in Burning Crusade Classic While they sometimes struggle to be effective in large group engagements like in battlegrounds they are absolute monsters in small group engagements and one on one encounters. Subtlety Rogues are a top tier class for PvP in the Burning Crusade. PvP Viability for Rogue DPS in Burning Crusade Classic If a Mage escapes you and hopes to Polymorph you before you get back in melee range for Kick you will still be able to stop that spell cast with Deadly Throw and this glove bonus. The gloves of most PvP armor sets include an important bonus to Deadly Throw, like Gladiator's Leather Gloves. Deadly Throw is yet another ability that can help the rogue catch up to an enemy that has managed to get away from them. While it isn't the absolute monster ability that Cloak of Shadows is, it is a good addition to the rogue's toolkit. Rogues also gain Deadly Throw in Burning Crusade. It can also be used defensively to immediately remove all those pesky debuffs you don't want with one click of a button and Corruption, Shadow Word: Pain, Faerie Fire are all gone. This can be used offensively to avoid incoming crowd control like Death Coil or break a Frost Nova and stay on your target. Smart use of your Cloak of Shadows makes a rogue very difficult for enemy casters like Mage or Warlock to control and kill. Cheat Death makes a rogue exceptionally difficult to kill - if the enemies try to kill a rogue, the rogue will trigger Cheat Death which buys them a moment to react with a possible Vanish and/or Cloak of Shadows to buy enough time to escape and reset and heal up.Ĭloak of Shadows is one of the new spells that rogues acquire in the Burning Crusade and it is very, very good. Shadowstep makes the rogue incredibly difficult to run away from, also gives the rogue the ability to instantly switch targets to apply pressure, or can even be used defensively to jump away from a dangerous situation. With the new talents in Burning Crusade, rogues gain access to Shadowstep and Cheat Death in the Subtlety tree which are both fantastic abilities for PvP. Rogues are powerful damage dealers in PvP but they also come equipped with powerful crowd control, interrupts, defensive cooldowns, and mobility abilities as well. Large group engagements in battlegrounds find the rogue sometimes unable to accomplish much, but they truly excel in small group engagements and one on one combat like in arenas. Rogues, and in particular Subtlety Rogues are a top-tier very powerful class in PvP combat in the Burning Crusade.
