rogues being OP from day one is far from true
many classes in the past had their OP sunshine
warriors underwent super nerfs in vanilla WOW
shamans were nerfed big time when they were waxing near all including paladins
feral druids saw the nerf stick too....anyone remember when they could duel weild....
enchants that were feral nerfed because LS & Crusader made them near unkillable. ever see the old rogue QQ concerning druids?
rogues have always been QQ on for the fact they usually gank someone with no notice and the player is usually unprepared. another thing i noticed when i leveled my rogue was that i was able to solo many quests, able to go straight to a boss/quest goal, and even get items in dungeons to get quest done. this usually meant i was better geared than my hunter or warrior of the same level.
rogues came into huge power with BC.....main reason "garrote w/silence" before that try dealing with any caster in vanilla WOW.
many classes seem to slip under the QQ radar such as mages, druids. when trade channel on my server has res druids and mages selling 1800 ratings (non-rigged games) that says alot. res-druids have been doing this since S-2
a player in my guild who has a 80 mage, put on his old S4 gear to make duels more challenging or fair for other players. funny to see him destroy rogues like candy.
as for druids getting 3 NGs....all i can say is wow OP imo
at 80 trying to kill a res-druid between the heals/hots/NG/Entangling roots/cyclone/endless shape shifts is tough enough. they can bore a player to death on duels. i have not read up what the reasoning is for 3 NG charges
btw....have a druid
