Not that simple at all. Unless they are packing dual glaives, rogues are a minor nuisance for my druid.
Resto druid? Debatably the most powerful class in WoW. I neglected to mention it becuase of the spec's reliance on other players in PvP. 99% of WoW players are moderately-severely retarded, and finding a quality player is damn near impossible. And if even if you do, what's the point You sit there lifeblooming the guy who's actually having fun... no thanks.

But I digress. Yes, a resto druid is a good match for a rogue.

I have lots of fun outplaying warriors/rogues with ease on my buddy's resto druid

Let's face it, 99% of WoW players are so terrible they may as well be afk. They slowly keyboard turn in an attempt to face their opponent, who can easily strafe around them. They stand there still as statues for what seems like minutes as they hunt for the proper spell or ability with their mouse cursor. They stand in place, not moving, they use the same tactics no matter what class / spec they're fighting. They're Bad.

Beating them is not difficult and is nothing to be proud of or even think about.

You only remember the good ones. The ones that challenge you. They're what matters.

Best part about being a mage is stealing your enemy's buffs. Like in AV this almost dead warlock void sac'd, so I stole all of his buffs until I got his void sac and then just fireblasted him . I probably could've just eaten through it, but it's funner!

If only they would fix the mana cost of spell steal, I may actually have a chance against a tree :(

I've got about 9 unassigned talent points on my Paladin where the biggest problem is I cannot figure out which other tree I want to be my sub-tree. He's currently protection and I could see the benefit to going either way.

You have divine strength and deflection? Not a bad way to go IMO.

He used swiftmend after I finally ran out of ways to stun him . I actually didn't run out of ways, I just forgot about my explosives. But If I could get him to 50% with absolutely horrible gear... given a full S2 or S3 set, I doubt he would've lasted long.

You have a ton of armor pen? I don't know exactly what he was doing, but rogues hit like kittens unless they can manage to drop me before I pop into bear after a heal(whcih I always save my trinket for). My armor kind of sucks in relative terms, think I'm at 22K in my pvp tree gear.

There's no reason to waste the respec monies... it's not like Affliction doesn't work. You can go destruction, but you'd need to make around 200 +hit to cap and still have a good amount of crit and damage. Although, just make sure you aren't nub if you spec affliction and ignore Suppression.

Oh I like affliction locks a lot, I can decimate them on the dmg meter, will be even better when they change CoE and I actually to get to see it on the mage :) If I'm running a raid, I don't bring them though. Sure, T4 and some T5 they can server a purpose, but they are just wasting a viable dps slot for anything after Vashj.

Like this one warlock in my kara group didn't have it but filled Trial-Fire Trousers with 3x +8 spell hit gems .

Hehe, some people are just nubs. With suppresion it is so easy to cap hit, my wife's shad priest has actually removed points from Shadow focus because the gear she has passively brought her way above hit cap(outside of the glyph of power she has no chants or gems for hit at all). Of course, without any points she is way under cap and would have to waste a lot of gem slots to get where she needed to be which would seriously hurt her overall dps.
