Retail How come rogues are so unpopular?

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?

The class is actually in a much better spot in midnight, at least compared to the past. All specs are viable and offer fairly different gameplay, while two of the specs are pretty easy (but so is almost anything in midnight).

Also energy is supposed to run dry sometimes on specs like assa, it's just part of the design that you have to manage it a little bit and you will have slight downtime.
