But you did give rogues an exclusion. You're choosing to leave out/ignore their main weakness in a thread that talks about OP/UP in your evaluation. Since it doesn't specify which area of power, we have to assume it applies to all aspects of the game. And it's really not just solo, group, and raid. You have to look at group compositions too, and a mage simply is a much better duo/trio class overall than a rogue is.

The only reason why it seems that way is because the argument has been "Mages are better due to their DPS", so I am comparing a DPS class to a Mage. If we were talking about healing, I would do the same with Clerics and not highly rate their solo ability, since that isn't what they are designed to do.

And your evaluation of when a rogue is better depends on level. At level 60 most people would take rogues because they out DPS a Mage. At lower levels you are correct, but a class shouldn't simply be evaluated on how well they can level, especially if they basically stop being played at high levels due to their lack of ability (which is true). That is why Mages all end up as CoTH bots. Other classes are just better at everything a Mage can do besides CoTH.
