So I want to roll a new character - its entire purpose would be to track down and kill rogues in PvP (probably generally battlegrounds, for fun). Which classes would you say are the best at killing rogues/hard-countering rogues? Would any professions help?

Any prot spec can give rogues fits. Blood DKs are probably the best at delivering the damage back at them. But, really with the OP state that rogues are in right now, nothing really counters them.

Best anti-rogue class is rogue.

HUNTERS for sure. They seem to be able to track me even after hitting Vanish. Lots of traps are annoying as well.

A good rogue won't bother going against a mage.

Feral Druids are just ridiculous vs a Rogue. Bleed and lolbear form and you pretty much can beat a rogue.

MM hunters are a good one as well. You just have to manage your cooldowns wisely.

People I fear:

Mages (Frost or Fire both, Arcanes usually suck, but the really good ones are still difficult if they manage their knockback, roots, and speed procs well).

Feral Druids who get the jump on me

Good Hunters

Feral Druids too ez no matter what rating.

A good Hunter is best counter.

Mage or Feral druid is prolly the best anti-rogue class. I as a rogue prefer to fight a mage over an feral druid tho. lol hunters would be a solid third for anti-rogue class but they have to be super precise with their timing of traps and deterrence..etc.

^ This :D ! A little sprinkle of pink and they scurry like roaches. Nothing like a bit of cat and mouse play.

edit: Oh, level 70. Are they still that bad after the veng' nerf? At 85 they're nothing more than a speedbump.

Most ferals on my realm are bad, and I try to save blind for fenzied regen in bear form. I hate MM hunters, frost mages, and rogues are fun to duel, but they are my greatest counter

People are overlooking faerie fire as one of feral's greatest tools against rogues. No stealth = no reset = kthxbai.

Actually I am hoping the monks will have a special kick rogue !@# ability to them - _specifically_ for rogues.

Spoken well for a 70 rogue. Also, that's only if you can kill them in your opener, otherwise We'd kite you and 9k chimera shot you
