If a rogue can start the fight in arena and stunlock my main, it's like always over.
By the time I get out of the stunlock, there are aoe fears, aoe stuns, and aoe silences incoming, not to mention warstomps.
Damn rogues. What to do?

I had a rogue gunning for me the other night in AB. I killed him once at the start of the BG and then the rest was history. 12 deaths in a row, why was I even accepting my rez? I don't know. I hate them too. :cursing:
They have to be the biggest pain in the ass ever :/
LOL! We didn't mean you personally :DQuote:

No seriously... My entire priest/4 mage team got killed by two rogues at one point :| mind you I had just ressed and was drinking when they ambushed me. Its fun watching all the resists/absorbed as they stab you in the face with their daggers :)
Cheat death, cloak of shadows, evasion, sprint, vanish.. the fuckers just won't die.
How I deal with rogues.
Purge, Flame Shock Nova totems, rinse and repeat. Every rogue I come across is paranoid, they usually CloS and run away after they take any amount of damage. The idea of focus fire scares them. Thats all the attention I give them until they're the last DPS standing. They make life hard and if you worry about them or focus on them, you'll really pay for it.
Just heal through the damage and realize they're last on the priority list for a reason. Rogues only frustrate you by the amount of attention you give them. I had a rogue last night some in do some dmg and then CoS vanish 15 times in one match. A highly defensive team that didnt want the nuke. Talk about annoying.
The problem is, in my opinion, that they almost require that attention. A rogue unattended = much pain for your team. And a mage is even worse, because not only do they bring "jaw-dropping damage" (=P), but an incredible amount of control to their team. They cannot be left to do their bidding, imo. While both of these classes are tough first targets, I personally feel that you have to a least threaten them or they will just pull you apart over time.
BTW, that's all just speaking about general arenas, not specifically boxing arenas (although I'd assume the same is true).
Since the last patch , it appears to have gotten easy to deal with them
I hate the saps on one grp members with tring to do dailies. (PVP) server. it just makes me mad. whole grp can't move until one un saps.
I run 4 locks and 1 shadow priest so have lots of fears rdy but , they are still a pain. casters are no problem
hunters depends. shaman easy
:)
Er, there's 5 shammies, there's five of them. If you don't see five, magma...?
I dont find rogues a problem in the slightest, they only tickle me these days. They used to wtfpwn me quickly but now its a case of "oh, a rogue is beating on me...who else is around to kill (kill a few others)...oh i suppose i better get this noob off me, LB LB LB LB Flame Shock, oh hes running away on no health" yawn, continue killing people. :D
I find the main benefit in gearing up (from blue to purple S2, from S2 to S4, etc) is that your armor value keeps increasing, which means rogues/warriors hurt less and less. Also increased resilience helps. Stunlock on 1 of your guys always hurts your burst damage potential... but if you can outlast the stunlock you can squeeze in some 4x lb/cl/shock or whatever. Just keep in mind they can typically only stun you for 50-60% of the time, and that's when they are really trying. Make that other 40% of the time count =P. Also if you scare them off with focus fire they won't be stunning you at all ^_^.
Evasion doesn't do diddly against ele shamans. In arena, rogues are always my last targets, unless I force their healers off.Quote:

I generally keep up magmas, 4x poison cleansing, flame shock to stop the vanish, once they burn cloak, start going to town with LBs. Once you hear CD proc, toss flame shocks. The inital damage will get the 90% damage coefficient reduciton, but once that 3 second buff wears off, 4x flame shocks tick for a decent amount of damage, and they can sprint whereever they want to to get a heal, but die before they get there.
