Rogue Questions...

[Noselacri]

Rogues are the best dps over time on this server, with the exception of enchanter charmed pets (which can be fairly dangerous). Whatever twat said monks out dps rogues is invited to run a parser with me any fucking time.

If that's the case, the mechanics are not working as intended here. Rogues were not universally top DPS until Kunark, and until you got amazing weapons, they weren't even that great pre-Kunark. You DPS like a warrior -crit +backstab; monk fists end up 14/30 at 50, their dual wield caps higher, and flying kick is barely behind backstab until 12+ dmg piercers. Magician pets match rogues in auto-attack, necro pets might also, and then you add the spells cast by the owner. Level 60 and 15dmg piercers is where rogues start to come into their own. If your parsers show something else, it's the emulator being generous to rogues.

And whatever twat recommends using a 9/31 weapon over an 8/23 is invited to run a parser and learn some basic combat facts. Backstab is a small portion of rogue DPS until epic and double backstab.
