Mages: You have been running around in insane self healing chlorolock builds, using a game mechanics in a way other than intended by double tapping devouring shadows, and enjoyed the ridiculously insane pyromancer damage for far too long.
And you know what? I'm fine with that. I'm fine with the fact that, while all of you were playing overpowered specs, I was playing my humble rogue at a level that most of you would only dream of. (Yeah, I'm feeling humble tonight.)
Clerics: You were unkillable GODS, and it still takes a group to take down a well played cleric. You have dozens of viable solo specs, and some decent group dps specs. Yes, some. A well played cleric or two is wanted in every group composition in this game. You are the best healers in game, and some of the best soloers in game.
I'm fine with that. I'm never complained about these Godlike clerics. It was a challenge to fight against them. It kept me entertained. It helped me improve and try out different strategies, different comps, and I'm glad I learned how to deal with them in a group and solo setting.
Warriors: Oh my were you overpowered huh? Dropping players of the same rank in a matter of seconds. That cleric you charge up to better hope he/she has a full stack of HoT's ticking or they're might ****ed. Yeah you were glass cannons, but you had your time to shine. You still even after today have great group and solo specs. Or at least the decent ones do.
I'm fine with that. I adapted and learned to wipe the floor with every single last parachamp that dared to step foot in my territory.
Rogues: Perhaps the most vocal group. We all *****ed and moaned for buffs and we finely got them. Do I think we needed them? For some specs, yes. Do I think most of you will now magically be good with the new buffs? Hell no. Skill is skill, and frankly, alot of players seem to be lacking that.
We had our time with sab, we had our fun with Marksman (in beta lol).
Now us rogues are finally in a good spot. Quit all your damn *****ing. Try playing a rogue from beta till now and get back to me. I've played a cleric, mage, and warrior; and while I don't claim to be good at these classes, I can play them to some level of effectiveness.
Because none of you like losing (lets face it, who does?) you ruin the game for other classes. It isn't a case of overpowered in most cases, its a l2p case. Yup, I said it. Learn. To. Play. Adapt. Beat down all those baddie rogues, spec for break free. All of the other classes can hard counter rogues in one spec or another. I suggest you find these specs, and utilize them.
And when the nerf bat hits us rogues again in a week or two, I'll still be beating you down. As will all of the good rogues on your respective servers. You'll be back here once again, crying for more nerfs.
And to that I say (with the utmost cheesy-ness)
