Topic of the Week 6/4: How many swipers does a raid need? - Page 2

Rasix · 06-04-2007, 12:11 PM

We have 2.

Of course...we only have 2 rogues.

Personally I think 2 is enough, often I am the only rogue in the raid and able to swipe for most aoe's.

I think 2 is enough as well - but I like having 3 in case the situation Pantz said happens.

A well balanced raid is far more effective than go go rouge power.

I agree with that logic but

well played rogue > than halfed assed anything else
so why turn good players away?
assuming the players are good to begin with(reason for being on raid over someone else)

i would rather have a good player lvl another alt over leaving to go somewhere else

can't go wrong with 3

I agree with Pantz. Currently I'm specced for Agi-Wis, but I can't afford the 10pp respec, so I'm waiting for the reset. Currently we only have one rogue with swipe, and he barely casts the skill, let alone keeps it up constantly. Best to have all your rogues with it to make sure it's always up, because it does have a tendency to miss more than most CAs.

I agree all of them should. Why make things harder. Internet/comp issues, health issues, vacations, work, wife and other real life issues can make someone miss a raid or 2. Why make things difficult. When you can have them all have it and not worry which rouge has swipe but worry more about weather or not you have a rouge

All 4 of our rogues have it and it's fairly clear we'd like to keep it that way. Sometimes I am the only one "in" full time and I call for a backup swipe if it doesn't land. It's nice knowing there are a few people who jump step forward and throw one on in case it's needed. What amazes me are the people that still think Swipe is useless.

2 atleast.

Orange con epics seem to love to resist swipe alot until fully debuffed, and even then it does not always land.

We have upwards of 5 rogues on a raid sometimes though, and atleast 2 on Avatars/Mayong due to the resistibility of it.

lyasa · 06-04-2007, 06:21 PM

at least 2.
then again i'm the one and only, so i can claim "i'm running out of power for debuffs! feed me!" and i usually get fed....

monopolies are sweet.
