Summary
An in-depth analysis of why Rogues have become WoW's least-played class despite having adequate damage and fun specs. The video explores how Rogues defined classic WoW's culture as the outsider class, why they no longer fit the game's design philosophy, and whether Blizzard can revitalize the class.
Key Points
- Rogues are now the least-played class in WoW despite having fine damage and playable specs
- Classic Rogues embodied WoW's outsider culture that no longer exists in the game
- Modern WoW design philosophy has fundamentally shifted away from what made Rogues appealing
