World of Roguecraft - Episode 3
"We got a kick out of it because it shows an aspect of the game -- but not necessarily a
common truth. It was presented well, and we enjoyed it for what it was -- a cautionary tale regarding the
power of rogues... It did, however, have Eyonix going "When have I EVER said 'There there, my darlings'?!" for a
while. :P"- Caydiem
"...None of these involve developers in their offices saying "there there my darlings,
I'll nerf fear again MMMMMMM"".- Kalgan
"And the video was hilarious. Much love to the Horde on Arthas."
- Tyren
"There there, my darlings"
- Eyonix
World of Roguecraft Episode 3 was released in August 2005. All video was recorded in patch 1.6.
The film was a response to the rampant theorycraft that existed. World of Roguecraft Episode 3 was
originally released only to the Arthas community. Overnight it became the discussion topic of
every forum. It spread from our original upload on Filefront.com to viral video sites across the web.
It went on to become one of the highest downloaded WoW movies of all time. And has been seen
and debated by millions of players around the world.

Points of Episode 3
|
Caster Itemization; Caster's had garbage available at that time. While melee
classes had their damage constantly increased from both weapons and items, almost no
caster items had spell damage. The primary stats on all caster weapons and armor were
stamina/intellect/spirit. Those were your only choices. This is no longer true. After the
video was released, caster gear was completely reworked. Even previously existing epics
like Felheart were improved.
Demonstration of Rogue PvP; The naked rogue fights demonstrated the enormous power
of surprise, stealth, and stunlocks. Even without
their usual dps or stamina, a rogue was able to defeat opponents simply with their
control over fights. Eventually, over another year, the other classes were brought
up to par with rogues.

Rogue Accusations
These were not rare accusations. They were extremely common complaints. We have heard these
same accusations repeated over 2 years by countless rogues.
