You roll need on lockboxes because you want to level your skill.
You stealth slowly into fights so that they’re almost over before you get there.
You think that strength is a good stat for you.
You still haven’t got any helm at level 50 because you haven’t found one yet.
You don’t use poisons.
You die early on and keep writing ‘Rez me!’ in the chat box while we’re still fighting.
You ask my mage for water, (I mean really, what the fuck?)
Your name has the word ‘killer’ somewhere in it. Examples, Deathkiller, Killerguy, thekilla, killsforgolds, killsyoualls, etc.
There is a reason why I don’t want you to attack the sheep.
Did you know that you can use your kick ability to interrupt spellcasters, particularly the healers? Oh no, you didn’t? And I am a fucktard for telling you? Well, how about that.
You need on gems because you’re leveling jewelcrafting? Really? Well, I’m levelling enchanting, so I suppose that i can roll need on everything then.
Why is your DPS really low? Well, lets have a close look at all those points that you have in the subtlety tree …
You don’t look good wielding a bow. Or wearing that cloth.
The sound of your pets wings flapping is very annoying. I don’t care if the parrot makes you look more like a pirate, put it the fuck away.
There is a reason why nobody is a dwarf rogue you know.

You use backstab.

I thought of a few immediately of which I have seen…
- Having the word “stab” in your name. Stabber, Stabyou, Stabsforfun. Yes, we know.
- Ranged DPS to help out the healers, “in certain fights”… yahhh.. no.
- Rolling need on a +str +stam cape, “in case you accidentallly pull aggro on boss fights”.

I understood everything except “There is a reason why nobody is a dwarf rogue you know.” I know dwarf rogues are .4% of the population but what is the reason?

Take a look at the racial traits and tell me if any one of them is good for a rogue:
Stoneform – instant – 3 min cooldown

Find Treasure – instant
Activate to see treasure chests on mini map. lasts until canceled.
Mace Specialization – passive
Expertise with One-Handed Maces and Two-Handed Maces increases by 5.

I think all of them are pretty meh at 80 compared to humans with free trinket slot, diplomacy for rep grinds and stealth detection for PVP. I’m sure anyone PVPing an arms warrior would love a way to clear bleed effects, though maybe not enough to roll a mini bearded back stabbing beer drinker. I was just wondering if there was some inside joke as to why the vast majority of rogues are either human or undead. According to armory data gnome rogues are more in fashion (gnome rogue .9% vs dwarf rogue .2%)and their racials aren’t exactly blowing my pants off.
Like I said, i was just wondering if I was missing some inside joke against dwarf rogues, like how people use to bash huntards, DK’s now, or all BElfs.
February 10, 2010 at 7:51 pm
Nah, no inside joke, just the fact that you’d have to be a completely clueless fucking moron to play one if your aim in the game was to maximise your toons potential. If however, your aim in the game was to role play a mini bearded back stabbing beer drinker then this racial choice would be perfectly acceptable.

Made me chuckle Adam… this one could run and run. Just a couple more that spring to mind;
- Intellect on your cloak, yeh but it’s a blue
- Use fan of knives on every opening attack and wonder why you die so much
- On the wrong target and steadfastly refuse to use vanish (seen from my healer)
- Prefer to let me spam cleanse rather than use cloak of shadows (again from my healer)
I’m sure there’s more

C’mon thats a bit unfair, Dwarves (male of course) have the best laugh in the game!
February 10, 2010 at 11:53 pm
While I was running some instances tonight two more occurred to me;
- Using stun just before the first pull has reached the warrior tank (not seen this in a while)
- Using stun on nearly any tank target when the tank is a druid
(my wife would vote to kick any rogue that does this, you guessed, she’s a druid tank)
As a rogue – there are exceptions but few and far between.

Stun use in instances is equivelent to mages using the ice frost ability on mobs. It should be a weapon of last resort, ie you’re trying to get the hell away.

I’m one of those who doesn’t understand the hate against Dwarf Rogues. Well there even used to be a time where Dwarf racial was very nice for pvp: remove bleed, poison and disease, and vanish, so nothing ticking on you would break it. Well game changes, true, same as the reason for Dwarf Priests was removed (fear ward). Poor them!
I think it’s actually about the looks “fat Dwarf” doesn’t look good for a Rogue.
And yeah, Humans are the most popular race with their OP racials and pleasant looks. Does it mean alliance should be 80% Humans except Druids and Shamans (and Hunters until Cataclysm)?
And Dwarfes should be removed from the game because there’s no reason to play them at all, they’re ridiculed for their looks and racials, even for a Hunter Draenei has better racial, 1% perma hit frees some talent points or gear choices (gearing up counting on “there will be another Draenei in my group” is tricky and unreliable), while Dwarf 1% crit with gun is useless if you get the crossbow from heroic POS or the Bow from Deathwhisper (Njordnar or Zod one).
And from my own experience, among people who play “unpopular” races like Dwarves or Trolls there are much less fail-players than among the crowd of Legolass Elf Hunters, Human Paladins, Blood Elf Death Knights and so on.

I play a troll mage because the racials are the best for that class on the horde. I actually like my troll, he’s pretty groovy. Looking at those dwarf racials, they seem to be pretty good if you want to tank. But maybe they’re not. Compare the dwarf racials with the two new races coming in cataclysm. The only reason then to play a dwarf will be for role playing purposes unless they buff the dwarves racials substantially. I mean really, find treasure? How useless is that?
