4x Rogue PTR

[Clovis]

I really liked the video -- looks like a fun new take on boxing.

However it seems to me that 4 or 5 elemental shamans will still do better because we're ranged and can rapidly switch targets where as a rogue (or any melee) has to run to their next target.

Don't get me wrong though, the sounds of 5 rogues stabbing people was pretty cool

I understand what your thinking here, but I have to disagree. One of the biggest problems with elemental shamans is the fact we have a cast time, and ranged (easy to LOS), and we have facing requirements. Rogues solve all these problems with the result of more constant damage, instead of having to wait for someone to step in the open... or deal with melee doing figure 8s around us. Other than being hard rooted (which we have 3-4 ways to get out of roots), you can't escape a rogues damage. With shaman people escape our dmg all the time by pillar humping/running behind, spell immunities.

Depending on your spam speed, with ISBoxer, you can do your DPS macro's as two steps.
Step 1 (physical push 1) will hit your Interact Keybind.
Step 2 (physical push 2) will hit your desired button.

So if you DPS moves on say 1-8.
You'd edit your 1-8 keys to 2 steps (copy the existing step).
Then edit the first step for each, to be FTL Assist Me + Interact Keybind.
And leave the second step (original configuration) as is.

You'd have to get into the habit of spamming those keys very quickly.
Two presses instead of one, for each attack.
But you'd have interact on every attack, without needing a second physical key.

Very very good idea..

This video makes me want to make a 5 man rogue team

[suicidesspyder]

i think i might jump in with my 4 80 shamans and dk on a wg with u one night when i get time to play due to work. Then we can rock some ass. Or maybe ill just leave my dk out and do shamans lol.

I'm going to give it a shot too -- just need to re download the test server client.

i had to watch the whole thing, loved every minute of it.

I allways wanted to try mage/warlock pvp but seeing how much fun melee pvp is now I`m swapping around. After these rets I`ll level me either warriors, ferals or rogues. Atleast all 1-60. This is just to much fun!

I got kinda of worried when I saw those warriors pop bladestorm and the scene cut out before you could tell how it turned out. I guess evasion was on cooldown? Then again you can't dodge attacks from behind and any decent melee in arena is going to be on your back the whole time you're visible so I dunno if you can ignore them even with evasion.

I think the healer makes or breaks this team. You almost have to go druid for the stealth and the cyclone/root melee peeling.
