^ is completely correct, but only for Kunark. As long as you have capped strength, 255 MR, and ragebringer, and position yourself correctly, you're going to be within 5% of the VP geared rogues.
But in Velious this should change. Primal+Aura of Battle alone is going to be like +15-20% damage. Add in another 15-20% from better weapons like Mrylokar's Dagger of Blood (15/19). And finally, resist gear is going to actually matter to some extent in NToV; if you can't max resists you're going to have to get constant torpors or whatnot. Add it all up, and a top tier Velious rogue might be doing 50% more damage than a Kunark geared one.
