I must be doing something TERRIBLY wrong.

So I read around on the forums and according to the forums the rogue is an OP PVP killing machine that kills everything in 1-3 hits. So I was like yeeee, it's beta, let's have some fun with this for a while. So now I am level 48 and joining the arena. Hardest hitting skill: Lashing blade. Average gear. Lets 1hit KO some nabs!

-Goes into stealth-
-Sneaks up behind enemy control wizard-
LASHING BLADE!!




10% of his healthpool damaged....


Oke so maybe the 1-3 hit thing was kinda exaggerated, but rogues are just super good in PVP. Let's try this out.

Hmmm, all the control wizards I met do way more damage than me. I have big troubles trying to even damage them as they just run arround, throwing me in the air, pushing me away and killing me like that. No OP PVP killing machine here.

Hmmm, all the devoted clerics usually stick with their team and keep their teammates alive. When I try to kill them they run arround in circles -almost impossible to hit- and keepu using this huuuuge aoe root and then damage me. No OP PVP killing machine here.

So perhaps the bad GWF class which I read about on the forums is an easy target. Go lashing blade... 10% damage. Oh what happens now, knockdown, knockdown, stun, half HP gone. No PVP killing machine here.

And the tanks? Man they just block block block. They run arround and my dps is so low that way that it would take me an entire pvp game to kill him just once.


So what am I missing about the OP ROGUE KILLING MACHINE KILLING ALL IN 1-3 HITS, NERF PLZ!


I must be doing something TERRIBLY wrong, even though I read multiple guides here, watched multiple videos on rogue pvp and I do the weave jumping trick.

All those guides are intended for level 60's. At 60 we have 2-3 abilities that can do 50%+ of most people's health bar. And shocking execution (daily that you get at level 50) can pretty much one shot anyone on a crit.

But most of the OP talk is from bad players who not know how to counter rogues, or who try to fight rogues in melee range. Pretty much every other class is more well rounded in pvp, and they only hit slightly less hard, and usually have better CC/mobility. Most classes still have some ability that can one shot people.
