Please don't judge the class about World of Roguecraft. I love the video but it made every vanilla server filled with shitty rogues who think just by playing the class, they'll be just like in it.

21/3/27 I believe. Edit: Although I did mean 21/8/22.
There is however a difference between 1.4 (the video was recorded in 1.4 I believe) and 1.12 (which would be the ruleset the server runs on). I don't think you'll be going around killing people naked here.

Interesting in pvp, high skill cap, however theyre a lot more "supportive"(CC bots) in the competitive premade.
PvE wise theyre ought to be in the top 6,7,8 ish depending on setup. High burst and sustained dps.

I love the energy timer right in the middle of the screen lol, so unnecessarily annoying. I tested that addon on another vanilla server recently. It's nice to see your energy but not in the middle of your screen 100% of the time. It's not that useful. I am using it but not like that

PvP, one of the best classes.

PvE, the best melee DPS but melee has a lot of problems in vanilla. Like there's a number of bosses where you almost can't melee. It's common in progression raiding to simply say "no melee in this fight" in certain places. Good raids shouldn't need to do this often, and probably never once gear is good, but be prepared to feel like Blizzard hates melee. Being a leather-wearing melee is just brutal at times.
