Are rogue P99s black sheep?

[Muggens]

Nerfed Ragebringer
Nerfed Pick Pocket
Nerfed Crystal Mask
Poisons does not stack, making it a very troublesome art to dabble in
Some slimes but not all can see through Hide in Howling Stones, rendering no sense

What say ye?

[Bummey]

at least we're not rangers.

Did any of the GMs or Devs play a rogue during classic or on p99 as their main?

[Gumbo]

I'm curious cause I played a Rogue on Live but haven't done so yet on P99 and was wondering how Ragebringer, Pick Pocket and Crystal Mask are nerfed?

[Cecily]

Pick pocket is implemented incorrectly. Ragebringer's haste is bugged to not effect skill timers. Crystal mask is fine. Hardly black sheep.

The sad truth is that rogues are simply eclipsed by more useful classes like wizards and Paladins. There are many reasons nobody likes rogues and they are 100% serving of any nerfs they receive.

Goos always were troublesome to rogues on live, back in the day.

Crystal mask is fine. Hardly black sheep.

Crystal mask should be targetable instant invis. I forget for how long into velious, I made a post about it but too lazy to dig up that lost cause.

Agree, hard to call top DPS class a black sheep. Even with BS cool down, when every guild can do sky, just wait your turn on a renards (sad to say hardly anyone wanted it in Kunark). If you aren't fighting ToV / Tunare just get ranger buffs and be happy, maybe make friends with a shaman when you do vindi just to show off a little.

Maybe knights have it the worst, at least they have more weapons to collect. But other than the defensive bug I think they are right where they should be. AC is a bitch to get right and without past stats and logs it's hard to say but it seems balanced enough.

Why the hate against sheep?

Do you mean pickpocket taking from the loot pool? I am pretty sure at one point they changed it to make a separate loot pool for that on live.....or at least said they did.
