Rogue is fine, srs. A friend has 2,5 with it, it's mega balanced and has very strong swaps.

(btw another  rogue had also before the patch 2,5)

ok 2 rogues in eu got 2.5 , this class is good.

Yeah, I personally enjoy being feared into oblivion, not being dispelled because of cd and the time fear fades and I am out of combat I just love watching myself having fearie fire... Makes me wanna play more and more!

Do You have some inside info or You're counting for stochastic process?

Patch 5.2 will bring more talent changes than Patch 5.1, but they will mostly be number tweaks. Rogue talents were mentioned as something that needs to be looked at.

apparently 2 more months until 5.2

[methodman2]

takes them 2 months to give us step

Probably not going to long in until 5.2 then. Really no fun at the moment, even if we can "scrape bye." Go-go LoL S3!

Combat actually feels strong. Don't have the necessary skills to comment on higher ratings, but the numbers say that you can pretty much one-shot any player that doesn't have defensive cooldowns up while being immune to crowd control.

too many factors involved in that as soon as someone gets within killing spree distance all ur dmg is gone though the 8 sec kidnys would be pretty nice for my mage partner

Focus Shiv with Paralytic -> ShS -> Spree works pretty good. I am unsure if it works all the time, but I had several times where I followed players through warlock/monk portals, blink and Displacer Beast. The control with Glyph of Garotte, 8 second Kidney and Paralytic is decent. As restealths are more control-oriented Subterfuge is the better choice. So you can Nerve-Strike / Cheap Shot enemy players and have peels that can compare with a warrior (root, stun, disarm, disorient, silence, slow). Really hope some of the better rogues take a closer look at combat.

Longer Kidney Shot and Killing Spree are tempting, but personally I use Shadow Dance so many times to sap/re-sap, especially now that I got only 1 vanish... Another thing is that Shadow Dance gives You possibility to Cheap Shot everyone for 5 sec in short period of time providing Nerve-Strike that You mentioned. Not saying about situations, when I have no defensive cds, my health is going down rapidly and the only thing I can do is to pop Shadow Dance and stun the opponent. All in all, Shadow Dance is just too good to get rid of it.

combat is mostly how it has always been: great on paper, but not in practice. granted, it's better than it has been compared to past seasons, but that's mostly just because step is available to it now.

main problem with combat right now is that it requires so much ramp up time for its burst(AR) or bad positioning from the opposing team(kspree). AR is so easily avoided by simply focusing the rogue or CCing the rogue. at least with dance you can get through half your burst before being peeled in most cases

losing out on dance, especially with the now reduced cd of blind, hurts a lot.

8 second kidneys is probably the most reliable part of the spec, which is awesome in a game that is so bad in design that mere 3-4 second stuns can equal death. i still want to try the spec a little more(havent since i was able to upgrade to t1 weps from heroic weps), but wth the current state of the game where 3 seconds of burst is more reliable than steady, increased dmg for 15 seconds, dance just works out better more often from what i've seen

edit: on the bright side, nice to see blizzard has finally realized that an entire class is being played less than ret paladins. hopefully it won't talk half a year from expac release to become relevant again. very timely
