Is it me is is the rogue revamp kinda lame? Only a few skills where added and most os those dont really seem all that great.

nah i feel the same way, just doesn't seem like the same effort was put into rouges that was put into the other classes... they did say that the rouges were the most "perfect" after launch though so I guess they still think its "working as intended"

The Devs view on the matter was that rogues were the most complete and balanced class to begin with, and just needed a few tweaks in their opinion to put a bit of shine on the class.

They can top the DPS meters in PvE, and OWN in one on one PVP if they get the drop on a person.

Besides some bug fixes, and the HUGE nerf to Hunter's Mark... I think the rogues are lookin' pretty good.

All of the issues with the rogue class and the talent review are nicely summarized in this link (the Rogue Talent Primer link I posted elsewhere):

Synopsis:

Yes, it's great that we can spec for 1v1 burst damage, but only successfully every 10 minutes, and all of the battlegrounds and most world PVP besides ganking is Many-v-Many combat, in which case we rogues are singled out for immediate stomping. We're NOT the top of the PvE charts against DPS Warriors or Mages/Warlocks, yet it's our only usefulness in raids.

Again, way more detail in the forum link. But we're by no means a "polished" class.

There are two rogues I know in THIS guild that can out DPS me as a mage in a 10 man raid.

I get ganked REPEATEDLY in BG's by rogues who live off killing us squishy casters in 3 swings.

I think the issue is that DPS warriors are OVERPOWERED, not rogues are underpowered.
