Couple things: Given the raw amount of stupidity contained in alliance (I am alliance) on pvp servers, the pve servers must be a field of swaying peasants yammering and waving pitchforks.

I have a low 50s Rogue on Arthas with 300 or so HKs at the moment. They're all small group or solo pvp. Being a rogue in this case it's obviously easier to avoid ganks but some zones have it bad. Arthas is among the first servers that was launched and it's fairly heavily populated on both ends. Most...

That is one really late build up. Build up helps a ton at leveling, getting it at 49 is almost pointless. 3 recharges is optimal effeciency, let's take a look at the math.

controllers can replace tanks. Certain controllers (Illusion, Fire), are brutally strong whereas the rest are underpowered (relatively).
