    Throwing knives is an iconic ability of trickster rogue - even shown in the promotional video trailer where half elf rogue displays the abilities used in game.

    Removing that ability they may as well as name it "the no-aim low-intellegence" rogue instead of trickster rogue.

    The "no-aim low-intelligence" rogue is how I felt when I used it. Just hold down a button for four seconds and watch the hit points evaporate. Versus the dance were you often had to trick your opponent to get off your good attacks.

    Besides, it isn't like they haven't removed iconic abilities that were in the promotional vids before. Just look at the GWF.

    1. Apparently they can have ranged, since they do.
    2. Not asking for a nerf, asking for a switch in abilities. Replace it with a melee.
    3. I'm aware CWs can beat rogues as well as rogues can beat CWs. I played both extensively. I don't believe the TR should have an advantage at ranged over them however.



    when you rech lvl 60 and pvp then say something .

    I'm curious zingarbage, if the game had absolutely no PvP in it (hypothetically speaking), would you still want the ranged at-will removed from the TR? Because it seems to me that your arguments are based mainly, if not solely, on PvP balance—which is why so many of us are in an uproar about it. Balancing PvE abilities based on PvP is never a good thing, and only ever leads to more headache down the road.

    I agree with malkavianite. PVP and PVE should have nothing to do with each other. Nerfing character skills because you think they have an unfair advantage in PVP is ridiculous.

    This game is based on D&D. Trickster Rogues in D&D have ranged attacks. Why does it bother you so much that Rogues get throwing knives in this game? It makes absolute sense. Zingarbage is just insistent on getting Rogues nerfed into the ground across the board it seems. Every time I see him post it's the same old story.

    I think I made it fairly clear that it may not scale well. It does scale incredibly well up to level 39.

    Removed or have the damage reduced. It is the strongest ranged at will and very well may be the strongest ranged attack in the game currently including encounter and daily powers.

    LOL. Nerf Rogues REALLY? Okay look if you get killed by a rogue using his RANGED ATTACk that means something very important:

    You were already dead, because you were running away from a rogue. QQ more.

    To top that D&D isn't suppose to be BALANCED for PVP. Have any of you cry babies ever ACTUALLY PLAYED D&D? Yanno the game where one failed save vs a wizard means you DIE?

    I can appreciate your reference to table top gaming. It has its own kind of greatness to it. However, you can understand how translating that over into an online game isn't really 100% feasible.

    If we had Harry and Ron going around one shotting everything, well everyone would be playing Harry and Ron.

    You cannot one shot anyone in 4e. Only a few monsters like beholder can, but even against them you get three saves.

    Check this out for more info regarding that:-

    I guess we should also remove combat abilities from rogues. After all they should only pick pockets and break in your homes at night :D.

    The range attack of the rogue can only be used 10 times until it recharges and the recharge is slooowwwww ;)

    Rogues only have a few daggers they can throw and then they have to wait ages for them to recharge it takes 4 seconds to get a single dagger.

    Hrmm, I thought the point in Beta was to discuss issues like this before the game is released... oh wait, it is.

    Ok, sticking with the PvE only hypothetical, why does it matter if it's the strongest ranged at-will? The TR is a striker role, so they're meant to be doing the most damage.
    If it's the strongest ranged attack period, including encounter and daily attacks, then yeah something is probably a bit off there. But I haven't seen anyone give any real proof of that claim yet.

    If the skill isn't balanced in PvE either (on the assumption that it is indeed overpowered in PvP), then I'll join you in your cries for a nerf, but everything I've read so far makes it sound like those arguing for a nerf to Cloud of Steel are doing so based on their experience with it in PvP. And, as I've stated previously, I find it neither wise nor fair to be balancing PvP and PvE together.

    The CW is based on control, but they felt the need to nerf to amount of time their stuns lasted in pvp. I don't think its unreasonable to nerf the damage output of rogues a bit in pvp only.

    actually it's not like that, they increased the control duration in PvE not nerfed it in PvP because the earlier CW versions felt way too weak in PvE as far as control goes.

    either way, it has less effect in pvp.

    still:

    A) CW is the strongest PvP class by far and nobody is crying for nerfs
    B) game is balanced for PvE.
    C) rogue in high level PvP is not nearly as good (in comparison to other classes) as whiners make it out to be

    Just to be clear, I don't want to see a nerf to Tr in pve at all, or necessarily on pvp either, but in a pvp setting i think each class should be just as difficult to defeat as another, where-ever the "nerfs" need to fall for that to happen.

    Rogues having a ranged attack is stupid, take all ranged attacks away from rogue or nerf them, they are not a ranged class

    Some of the best rogues are ranged. They are strikers. They do nothing but DPS. Sounds like they're WAI.

    On its own the CW isn't really super strong, but when you get 2+ of them in a match they feed off of each other and get much stronger. I've made a small suggestion on CWs of allowing them only 2 blinks per stamina bar vs. the 3 they have currently. I'm not sure why they were given 3 instead of 2 like the other classes.

    That's the part that blows my mind. Pretty much everyone that's played a fair amount of PVP over the BWE's agrees that CW is the most overpowered class in PVP at the moment. But you see way more threads of people whining about Rogues than CW. Makes my brain hurt. Every match of PVP I played in BW4 was decided by which team had more CW. Not once did I win a match when the other team had more CW's than my team had.

    One game enemy team had no CW and my team had 3. We controlled all 3 points for 90% of the game. Yet people are upset about Rogues (The only dps class in game) cause they hit hard.... I don't get it :(

    I would sort of agree the ranged attack is pointless and rogues are only uber damage dealing because of the mutated warped way they have evolved.

    I found the CW to have less survivability than the rogue, playing both in pvp. I would not disagree that the wizard has lots of utility. I would like to see the rogues survival brought down a notch. OR the GWF survival brought up a notch. I am not sure what exactly to change on the CW. I am by no means saying the CW shouldn't be looked at but I would hate to see ANY class get nerfed for PVE. If they make changes it would be nice if they could separate the two but that is highly doubtful.
