Comment by RisutoaWhy do that to shadow priests? Psychic link was already undesirable compared to AS/SC. Now you're just giving us less reason to pick it...Comment by steelangelI leveled a ret pally, could carry a layer 3 torghast with two afk friends.

Swapped to rogue, got up to 185 ilvl aaaand... I can't solo the bosses. Feels bad. :(Comment by JCarr178I don't know why blizzard wants us to spend time in literal wow hell... and then they make it a hellish experience.

Like if you play a roguelike game, you would think that it would be fun, fast, and action packed (take Hades for example).. meanwhile I am over here having to slowly and methodically pull stuff and wait on cooldowns constantly (as a rogue) just to survive the generous assortment of elites. This is the opposite of roguelike... i really liked the way it was in early beta, where you could build up anima powers and lay waste to floors, and then have a fun boss fight at the end.

don't even get me started on the maw. It is literally one of the worst experiences i have ever had in wow... its like, movement is one of the most appealing things to make playing the game feel "better" and they stripped it all away to force us to grind for the rare mount that is only available every few weeks. The mobs are pretty cool, but the entire experience seems like they just wanted to make it as punishing as they could, but not by making things challenging or strategic, but just by making it as annoying as possible.

I really wish they would have just taken all of the dev resources that were used to create the maw, and focused on making more dungeons.Comment by 1987ESTBallerShows Blizzard doesn't play the game, let me help you, if a rogue vanishes the boss resets HP to Full HP instantly, grappling hook... for what? we still don't have ranged abilities we need to do melee dmg, stop making these meaningless changes. All other powers are useless aswell, the adds are not the issue for rogues, adds are easy, the bossfights are impossible.... and no, not everybody holds hands for content, most of us play solo and even then, rogues get declined in groups even with 180+ ilvl as I wasted days to look for one or create one, they see im a rogue and they leave.Comment by George14If you're having trouble with the quests in Perdition Hold, there are weapon racks that give you useful buffs like when you take damage, heal for 5000 but cannot occur more than once every 5 seconds or spirit weapons that help you in combat. Kill the non elite mobs for Mawforged Key drops, then use them on the weapon racks.
