Why would they go out of there way to say the intention is for rogues to do the most single target dps in the game?

I don't think the issues people have with rogues in Forever or Retail are tuning based, it's just play style and jank issues with very little acknowledgment of those things going on.

Sorry I meant forever only. I don't know shit about retail at all.

Yeah, same deal with forever though. Tuning them to be top DPS is nice, but if the class isn't fun to play that'll be a larger issue for a lot of folks. That's what people are concerned about

Rogues aren't upset about DPS. that can be fixed easily. it's a rotational and gameplay problem. Our white hits do too much dmg so they couldn't give us cool abilities (according to them). But they also said they would be giving us deathmark for sub and then there have been 2 patches since then with no major rogue changes

I couldn't care less about single target dps numbers, I just want a fun and engaging class/spec to play.

Numbers will be tuned, but I don't want to hedge my bets on Blizzard making a boring spec, fun

Rogue is far more fun than in vanilla, You might only have 1-2 more buttons to press in pve, but that's already twice as much as before.

I personally play rogue because it's a fairly easy rotation. Assassination rogue in wotlk was my all time favorite and allows you to focus on the little things to maximize dps instead of a difficult rotation

I like to play multiple classes with rogue being my brain dead one
