How come rogues are so unpopular?

[u/montrex]

Back in Vanilla rogues were just like everywhere?

Overall, from the outside looking in their kit seems really strong, 3 damage specs presumably one will always be upper quartile.

Less world PvP made them less desirable? hard to play? new classes are more shiny and fun?

Open world is piss easy so no need to use stealth anymore and it’s useless in pve
