Getting really excited about equipment as a rogue is kind of uh... well. Useless.

Rogues are the worst 'dress up doll' class in the game. They constantly 'want' better items, but that actual degree of improvement that comes with those items is... very underwhelming.

Weapons are super important, of course, but as long as you have 'good enough' weapons, ATK rating, resists and HP.... there's really not much 'more' to gain from being overgeared.

Compare a level 60 rogue with 2 weapons in full full full items, and then another level 60 rogue with the same weapons but not quite as much stats. They both cap strength and they're both bringing tons of heat. And that's it.


And then you start metagaming with the fact that the only people who get these items are literally dress up dolls in 70 person raid guilds and suddenly it all just seems rather ridiculous to even contemplate. These people could be doing these raids naked at those kinds of numbers -- but you simply *have* to get that new accessory for your E-Doll.

Sweet items are sweet, don't get me wrong. But the p99 broscience and circle jerking that goes on is a little bit ridiculous. As a rogue you need weps, resists, and HP. People can buff you.
