To begin with, I have a 60 of every class 12k+ including 2 gwf's and 2 dc's
The gwf is the most overpowered class hands down. It requires enough skill to hold down a mouse button and mash on tab. If you can do these 2 things, you are a top tier gwf.
The rogue is strong, I agree, in pvp at least. However, landing duelists on moving targets takes skill and practice. There is simply no such thing as a one rotation kill for a tr. Not on somebody of equal gear score at least.
The hate for tr's is strange. When I play my cw people never pm me, on the tr, I have to put several people on ignore after a few matches because of the hate that I am getting. People don't seem to mind getting mauled by an invincible gwf simply because they can see it, but a tr lands a flurry in stealth? Time to break out the hateraide!
Tr's feel real squishy after the recent changes, fyi. I have 30k+ hp on my tr, and he can die to takedown, indomitable. 2 encounters, 30k+ damage. Let's not even talk about the cw...
Let's be honest. I would much rather contest a point with a tr on it than one being held by a gwf or hr, no matter what class I am playing.
Long story short, the rogue is fine the way it is. Shocking was nerfed with the change to power, and that was a good change. Permas are annoying, but they are not god mode as many seem to believe.
Play the other classes, learn their encounters/cooldowns/builds/etc. and learn to recognize and play against them. Knowing a few simple things about the rogue's stealth mechanic and what to expect will do wonders for you in pvp vs any rogue, perma or not.
Well said! Totally agreed with the comments and observation.
To the guy who said
Of course, not that almost all GWF skills can be used without a target, and a lot classes have them too. You just have to recognize where he's at (it can be easily be done after realizing how the stealth works) and with some prediction, you can deal INSANE ammount of damage on a stealthed perma (exp'd (I'm a non perma TR) I was in stealth and a GWF just were, meh, 20k too easy.)
You just HAVE to learn to play against. And if you really want to, you'll find the way to. You know, creativity is the humanity's one best friend.
Yes, a veteran PvP players are even able to "lock" on to my TR before my TR went into stealth mode, which result in they are able to hit my TR in stealth.
