I have 4k Au. I was saving it for Dash bots but after seeing the stunt Pix pulled on the WW bots I am a more than a bit weary about the Dashes being available with Au. Probably some form of ancient Egyptian currency that can only be earned with human sacrifices or something worse. Any way the Rog looks fun and would probably have to get Orks but I can make that work. I am in D3 and thinking the thing should be somewhat viable after seeing them in action. Is this something worthwhile to pursue? Or should I keep saving and see what happens this summer? |

The Rog is cool. I just bought my second. I'm not convinced that the Dash bots will be normal currency. Believe it when I see it

They're a Russian development team as far as I know, so I'm sure you'll need to buy a politician for whatever currency they use. ?
Seriously, though, Rog is a ton of fun!

Just got a Rog after a too many scotches night (and a lance, smh), so much for my gold supply. It is a lot of fun to play. Though I am in gold league, squaded today with it vs expert/diamond and still had fun with it. It was a good distraction to draw fire.

If you have a 5th slot, at least 4x Orkans, a Lancelot and a Galahad, I'd buy a Rog. You may need it to counter the upcoming rocket meta.

Im not that impressed wirh the rog. It's a fun bot tbs. It is ok on maps like dead city and moon. Its zeus carnage bait. My lvl 11 gekko patton eats them for breakfast on open maps.
I do have a lvl9 rog and ive strapped in lvl 12 tarans (ive got 6 orkans but theyre spoken for) and i do pretty well with it.
Like the above poster mentioned: first get atleast one Lance, buy all the orkans you need and then when youve run out of gold stuff to buy then get one. Still id buy a rog before i got a galahad now with the rocket buff.
Thats my take on it, thats my advice; you do whatever the f#@k ya wanna do! Peace!

I have 4k Au. I was saving it for Dash bots but after seeing the stunt Pix pulled on the WW bots I am a more than a bit weary about the Dashes being available with Au. Probably some form of ancient Egyptian currency that can only be earned with human sacrifices or something worse. Any way the Rog looks fun and would probably have to get Orks but I can make that work. I am in D3 and thinking the thing should be somewhat viable after seeing them in action. Is this something worthwhile to pursue? Or should I keep saving and see what happens this summer? I love the Rog. I was grinding The Event for the Rog. Got three Rogs (event +2 from chests). But on the testserver Rog is not looking good for me, in comparison to Dash bots. When you jump on a Rog, you are vulnerable for 2 seconds, everybody can shoot you. And you will suffer from landing lag, rendering yourself a fish in a barrel to shoot. More than that, 2 hardpoints, similar speed and no shield whatsoever make Rog looks pale in comparison with Dash. So I leveled one, and called it a day. Saving up for those big IP chest, 18500 to be able to buy some Dash for myself. Most probably one Heavy and one Light. |

The dash bots are pretty crazy with their crazy firepower and dashing. Prototype I is pretty similar to the Rog but with dash instead of jump. That said, I wouldn't say that the dash is better in all circumstances. The dash works better on open and close maps to close distance and dodge incoming fire but the high jump is better for aerial attacks (DC and Moon for example). In addition, the dash has 2 charges but a long cooldown time afterwards whereas the Rog has a 2 second cooldown and can keep jumping. What worries me though is Prototype II which has a built in ancile and 3 hardpoints. The thing is absolutely insane. I am not sure what they are thinking. |

Too slow. And additional slot doesn't help. I managed to kill a lot of Mediums with Light, even got some on video: And don't consider dash a "jump". Consider it's a "rush" in disguise. You are not travelling above the obstacles, you just travel very very fast, and can dodge even Treb from other half of Yama. So, while jumping Rog is a bit of vulnerability (flying too slow, can catch any bullet in air), Dash is kind of invulnerability. It's the Dash to me: But again, if you find it easy to kill Dash with Rog - it very well might be, for your skillset. |

MK1 or 2 or 3. Each to their own I suppose. I personally loved the Mk1 and Mk2. Mk1 was fun like the rog and MK2 seemed like business (prefer orks on them). A dash vs a up jump definitely favours the Dash over the rog as per what russel mentioned. But that's the future and we are still to see what the final release spec of the dashes are going to be. Currently I have a Rog in my line up as well as a tarancilot. I lead with a gareth for capping and when it dies (suicide gary dies quick now days) I look over the battlefield what to bring in and where to go. Bc the rog is so much fun I always look for the opportunity to bring it in. not so with the Tarancilot. the rog gets into the fight quick and its useful against griffs, thunderlots, and in general anything that's slow to move and anything that can be surprised. very good bot. But at the end of the day the tarancilot is mean and nasty, lasts longer, deals more damage...... So I go with Darkangel. have a 5th slot before the rog. have some heavy firepower in your hanger as well. even better have a sniper like TT fury or what ever sniper you like bc when the rog dies quick you can always make up the time and stand around for 3 minutes in a fury and pop the tridents away. with the 5 slots you will have more options and will not be in as much danger of meching out.

I was in my Rog today on PP. Went up against another Rog, and we did the dance of death. It was cool. On the pipe racks, the top of the walled platforms next to them. Then the sides of a cooling tower. In and out of the corridor. I did drop my dance partner on the ground eventually. Probably as cool or more cool than anything ya could see 2 Cossacks do.

I kill dashes with Taran Rog on the test server all the time. It has superior corner shooting over the MKI & superior mobility over the MKII. The key to success is to cruise around behind your teammates and attack reds until they pay attention to you than move along & look for another target that is otherwise engaged. Excellent bot to float around the map finishing wounded baddies off  |

Or should I keep saving and see what happens this summer? i think with the ww robots release on the market, the dash will be more expensive than them. maybe about 5k for the mk1 and 10k for the mk2 with whatever the currency will be. the rog is okay, equipped with taran, i think he can be the best dash hunter. but i'd say wait for the dash bot release... meanwhile you can prepare the weapon (medium )for whatever bot you'll buy |

Never went out of my way to do that but yes. The last event was very kind, with fury, butch and doc. (Obviously haven't gone out of my way if I don't have a golem). Having said that, the hangar that I am using at the moment is one lance and 4 griffins. |

It takes a while to level it up, but it is a joy to play. Mine is around 2 weeks old and at level 8.

Must have been like two plasma garies having a go at each other. Good for testing skills but bad for HP. |

Had a fun battle in my RDB Griff vs Tulu Rog. Springfield, Rog was trying to flank to steal the farm bacon. I ran sideways with him, rockets ready for every landing. He died but it was fun chasing him down, he nipped some of my health. Probably a good tactic to keep me away from center.

Rog is better than Gepard but thats about it for me . Not the fasted , or toughest or best weapon points .
It jumps okay , probably the best jumper ?

I'ts the mix of everything together that makes it so fluid and dangerous in the right hands. Not the right bot for everyone, but for those that like to be in constant motion & can make good use of the weapon placement agility it's a deadly weapon. Planning to do a 5 Rog. hanger next test server to see how they perform in the newer content. The last one I did was the final weekend they where tested before they where released. |
