For a small amount of time, from 3.0 till 3.1, rogues stopped topping the meters and stopped getting invited to raids. The few numbers you see up there are probably the ones who weathered the storm... It wasn't all that bad really, it was just perceived to be that terrible.

Now we've been fixed, and I'm glad I stuck to my guns with keeping my rogue as my main =)

Haha, my main's a rogue and my alt's a lock. We may not have much raid utility, but we'll still top yr meters in the hands of a competent player. And take us into an Arena and *then* we'll show you our utility.

Seriously, I think our class has never been so fun. Mutilate is so much more interactive that BC era Combat swords. Combat is way more flexible when it comes to weaponry and cooldowns, and even HAT is still semi-viable.

I'll never abandon rogue.

We can't take the damage, but we sure can dish it out.

/hail to the remaining diehard rogues

I'm suprised our numbers have dropped so much.

/agree Roland

Our class is, frankly, amazingly fun now.

Gotta love rogues. I still play my rogue which I made 4 years ago. I tried levling up alts but I never managed to get them above 70, I just love my rogue too much!

I love my rogue too, though it always has to take a backseat to my holy priest for guild runs...grumble grumble...

I've tried, mostly unsuccessfully, to get into Naxx pugs with my rogue, but with the overabundance of DKs also in pugs, it's like pulling teeth to get into one. Either you get a good pug who doesn't need more melee dps, or a bad pug that is full of dks and ret pallies and won't make it very far due to a complete lack of ranged dps...

I do enjoy my HaT build though when grouped with ret pallies though :)
