^ 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.

EHHH. Primal is the same thing as a rogue getting an avatar, so you can't really count that as a Velious exclusive DPS boost. AoB is gonna be underwhelming,+1% dps per 10 attack I read once. ( Ex: AoB x1 + avatar = +11% dps). Yes, the top tier weapons will bring about a significant increase, but keep in mind that a RSSS is on par with a mid-high range Velious weapon. The main boosts in rogue gear won't be damage. It'll be surviability from rainbow resists and better HP stuff. Also the ever desirable 255 255 255 255 unbuffed stats (which don't matter).
