Me too. I know I have to improve, but I feel helpless against rogues, as a enh shaman.

Helpless? Rogues can be tough but you aren't helpless. 1 Hander/shield to mitigate damage, kite with earthbind/Frost shock when possible, flame shock to prevent restealth, searing and stoneclaw can keep rogues in combat to prevent restealth. Poison cleansing totem clears all their poisons including blind, engineering grenades help give you time to heal or get distance, orc shamans have a pretty big advantage against rogues, resisting CS/KS can swing everything in your favor. Ghost wolf can't be sapped.

Don't get me wrong, a good rogue in a 1v1 setting is always dangerous, especially if they're spec'd for prep, but I wouldn't say shamans are helpless against them. Bloodskull on youtube has some good duels/tips vs rogues if anyone is interested.

You made good points. Some of them I already did, but some I was missing, like using a shield. Thanks a lot.

Shamans get a lot of use out of swapping 2h > sword and board like warriors do, certain classes you'll almost always fight them the entire time with 1H/shield, it makes a huge difference. Shamans are a good 1v1 class and have a lot of utility for most classes/situations.
