I have a rogue alt. I cannot stress this enough.. I suck really bad as a rogue. Just awful. When I joined bg I had the bloodied set and the crucible quest dagger. When I joined I knew 2 things for sure.. I wasn't going to kill anyone and my damage was laughable. Not becasue of my gear but because I don't know what I'm doing with rogue.
I got into the habit of using every ability a rogue has but damage abilities :) In wsg and twin peaks I'd find the enemy with the most hp usually a BDK or prot paly. I'd harass them non stop. sap sap blind vanish sprint..anything but damage abilities.
In ab I'd ninja flags and wait around for them to change colors. Same thing sap sap blind vanish.
In eots it don't matter what anyone does. Super easy bg but noobs over complicate it. Find a enemy tower and go stand on it...win.
I knew my damage wasn't going to help the team. Instead I tried to be annoying. Made me smile when I sap 1 enemy and 3 of them jump off their mount to find me. 1 vs 3; I like those odds. Means somewhere on the map the my team has a numbers advantage on the enemy.
Now my rogue is like 360ish ilvl and I can kill finally. I still harass the crap out of people becasue it's fun. But I added a new job. I hunt down and kill enemy fc before they get a chance to defend them. Or sap sap blind his entourage to weaken their defense.
When I see people say they lost 5+ games in a row or lose most of the time it makes me wonder what they do in bg. I know players with selfish goals like "how much damage can I do" or "look at my kills, I'm the best dps in this bg". Those goals, lose game. Each game I can find 2-3 players who are trying to win. Most games less than 30% of the players, play to win. One in awhile I get a team that all tries to win. But most times it's 30% or less. The other 70% + are off doing weird stuff.
If you lose a lot. I think you should stop looking at others and focus on why you lose. Do you fight in the road? Do you def in ab? Do you escort friendly fc? Do you cc healers? Do you focus on objectives?
Doing the objectives is boring sometimes. If I'm defending, sometimes I'll just kite an enemy around for a few mins. Just to keep busy. Spice things up. I don't care how much damage, heals or kills I get. The only number that matters to me is the score.
Now that my rogue has some gear I can go 10-0. I can return 2-5 flags a game. My contributions to the team are just a fraction. But if you fight in the road or refuse to def...my contributions are exponentially higher than yours. BG isn't about what spell or ability you use. It's about who your using it on and where your using it at.
