I'm not saying otherwise - Rogues should have high dodge. I am arguing
(whining) about the reasoning they give for it. The reason that crit %
is reduced for both is that we have both high agility items to
compensate. The reason that Hunters get reduced dodge is that we have
high agility items to compensate. They use the same argument but don't
apply it to both classes. If they'd stated that our reduced dodge is
because we are supposed to be ranged fighters then I wouldn't have
brought it up. (And whilst we're at it - from a RP point of view
Hunters should get outdoor stealth :D )

lol - have you seen the new survival tree? It sucks. The only thing I
liked in our current survival tree was Deterrence (+25% dodge and
parry) and Counterattack (a short term root that can't be dodged,
blocked or parried which is available after a parry). Last time I
looked, the new deterrence was just a fixed +% on parry and
counterattack was 21 points into the tree meaning I can't get 31 in MS
and get counterattack. I'm probably going to end up going with an
MS/BM build instead.
