Not only on forums but in game, everyone keeps saying rogues are too OP in siege due to hide.....
1) hide can not be used in combat. even when NOT in a party, and no one is even targeting/attacking you, you seem to be in combat for no possible reason.... the ONLY time u can use hide, is right after killing someone, you have about a 0.8-1sec window. after that you get put in combat again.
2) scouts detection, they SUPER buffed detection. to the point where its around 200 range. as i can barely even use shot, when scouts are targeting me.
3) believe it or not, hide was actually nerfed at the same time detection got buffed. i notice i can actually see same level rogues in hide at about 50-80 range away.
4) in siege specifically, eye of truth = crippled rogue. it has like a 250 range and takes rogue out of hide AND stuns them for 5secs. if you cant kill a rogue in 5secs, sorry but you suck....
5) again in siege specifically, you have electric towers (they have like 400 range) and flame towers which have about 250 range. both will take rogues out of hide.
6) there are means of cheating, that lets you completely see through hide. there is a hack SPECIFICALLY to let u see rogues in hide.... i mean cmon....
Vanish, which puts you in hide and (sometimes takes you out of combat) has a TEN (10) min cd.
iIf they fix the always in combat for no reason, EVEN if you are not in a party bug, ill agree that maybe hide should have like a 5-10sec cd. but the way thing are now, having a cd on hide, would make it completely utterly useless.
when a rogue is in the open not in hide, literally any class can kill them. rogues strength lies in preemptive strikes and burst damage.
im really sick of people saying rogues and hide is OP and needs to be nerfed...... get some skill/tactics and knowledge of the game noobs....
you know why rogues dont Q.Q about other rogues? because a rogue knows a rogues weakness. i always carry eyes of truth in siege.
you want to know a secret to own rogues? play s/k. its near impossible for a rogue to kill a equally geared s/k. (not counting popping 5mins/etc).
