He talked about his own class without saying that it is was hard, thus contradicting what you said..

after playing SS+evis for a while i found it took some real practice to get rupture back into the rotation and not feel like i was messing up a couple of times every minute.
at this point in the game's development i'm not even sure what complex means in this context but i'm pretty sure most classes have a relatively easy basic strategy but some complexity that requires real effort to master. the learning curve starting very shallow with a large peak at the very end.
this is how a well designed game will engineer every one of its classes.
i'm guessing this is what leads to the "my class is hard, all the others are easy" mentality. i know how complex the warlock class
can be
but it's basics are pretty basic.
for example (and speaking figuratively), each class can hit 9k dps with a week of practice but it'll take 3 months more to get to 11k.

I'm a little confused. Earlier in this forum, you seemed to like what I was saying quite a bit more.
I still like what you're saying or else i wouldnt have read all this stuff, but i disagree on these facts:
1)For the majority of all fights (with both viable PvE specs) you will be spamming one button. When that buttoned ability reachs the stage where another ability becomes priority, you press that ability. Repeat.
2)I know we all want to feel like we're doing something more skillful than everyone else. We aren't.
3)Rogue dps is simple:
Maintain uptime on temporary buffs.
Use big damage finishers when you can.
While these are correct, i just dont like how you simplify it to almost ashes and dust.
You claim for a rogue's rotation to be the easiest.
This is not correct. A paladins rotation is currently the easiest.
I am however not saying that a rogue's rotation is hard.
It's a basic combo generator & finisher system, but there is more to it than that.
You keep overlooking that.
It wasn't until I started claiming the rogue class was easy that the rest of the rogues started fighting with me. I'm a rogue just like you. But the posters claim was that rogues required something more than the other classes. And while I'd like to believe that, I know for certain rogue PvE is no where near difficult, and will not falsely claim otherwise to promote my skill as a player.
Coincidence.
