I'm leaning strongly towards rogue. You can get 100MR with pretty modest gear, and assuming resist rates are at least vaguely similar to what they were at the time on live, that's enough to shrug off most crowd control. Stealth is pretty useful as well until Kunark introduces easy detect invis items, because pre-Kunark you have to have the actual buff cast on you (with the exception of a select few rare items like Tobrin's eyepatch) and five classes can't cast it at all, six if you include bard who only get it from travelsong. Plenty of people aren't going to run around with detect invis on permanently, or you can pumice it off of them. Throw in double snare-proccing weapons and rogue is an okay PvP class - certainly not among the top pwners, but fully capable of PvPing reasonably well. My only concern is leveling it because it's no fun leveling a group-only class as a euro on a PvP server.
