I really wish people were forced to take english 1A before being allowed to write compositions on internet forums.

Come on, I could have a randomcast macro and probably do decent dps on a retadin.

Fun fact: you can reach up to 5% below of your maximum potential dps as ret by using a single button macro. Even with 2p t10. No idea how that relates to this thread though.

Is it me or did BrokenWing dis rogues (and their rotation) and then said that a pallies one is harder, because of one cd that resets on weapon hit?
Totally uncalled for and untrue.

A rogue's rotation (With the possible exception of the newish combat rupture rotation, which I haven't tried but heard is difficult) is simple. As mutilate, you press HfB every min, mutilate to 4+ CP, then envenom. As Combat Evis, you keep SnD up, and otherwise Evis. Honestly, a ret pallies "rotation" is more difficult than this, as you have a clash resolution on which button to press next. There are addons to show you what to hit next (Doing the clash resolution for you, so you don't have to focus like mad on the CDs on your action bar), but when you get 2p t10, this is all screwed up, as your DS will randomly be off CD. You have to carefully watch the addon and react to it coming off CD, else it's a DPS loss. (This is coming from someone who has played both Ret and a Rogue)
You have much to learn, pally.

Just proving a point. I also pasted one in Warlock and Hunter forums.

Ah, you got me Liq.
I wasn't insulting rogues though, I was defending paladins. Both rotations are simple (Though again, I would argue that the rogue rotation is easier). The difficult job of a DPS is knowing the encounter, and what tricks they have to make it go smoother. I personally don't like ret DPS, as it's too facerolly (You basically just hit different damage abilities, no sophistication to it at all). My pally is Prot/Holy, my rogue is much more fun to DPS on. I haven't even played my pally in a good 3 weeks really. I was considering switching my main over to my rogue, but my guild needs a good Tank/healer more than another good DPS.
Also, cast random macros don't work anymore. And that whole paladin cast random macro thing was for PvP.
I just found it stupid how you facerolled the rogue rotation with basicly just keeping snd up (and hfb every one min).
Kinda forgot all our other skills like tricks, vanish and cold blood. Or even more important as combat, blade flurry, adrenaline rush, killing spree and tricks.
And im not even mentioning defensive skills..

See what I'm getting at, OP?
Hunters and Mages got serious replies.
Warlocks post got a reply from a Wowhead lock old-timer (Asakawa), but he deleted his first reply.
What you've said is too vague and arguments don't really have any grounds behind them.

I never said that a pallies rotation was easy.
It is one of the easiest to play, but like i said i was just replying to your cap on rogue rotations.

For pve you have never needed more than 5 abilities, every class has their rotation that they have to use to maximize their dps.
Now stop feeding the troll,expected more from some of you.
Expect the unexpected!
