Cek sword is so good. I've bagged my Baton / Swiftwind for over a year now.

If you give the same exact person a rogue, warrior, monk, and ranger - all in equivalent gear. The rogue will be the best every time. It's the most consistent. Vyemm/Vulak dagger main hand and swapping in Ragebringer specifically for backstabs every few seconds on a timer and you will absolutely shit on 95% of the general raiding population, aside from those others that A) are better geared B) don't die to something stupid.

Doesn't take much for rogue aside from 2 weapons and a mainhand epic swap, or 1 weapon and an epic offhand to do consistent, great damage. They aren't as gear dependant on whoopin' that ass as the other classes mentioned.

Detoxx has mostly best in slot on blue.

Play what you want. You are going to do damage with any of those classes. Raiding is but a small percent of the game. If you don't suck - you have the potential to be near the top with any of those. Warrior is going to be the most difficult. It takes a LOT of gear. If you want to be parsing at the top - consistently - play a rogue.

That being said - harder to solo with a rogue. Can't duo fungi king at 60 with a rogue. Can't do a lot of things with a rogue that you can do with other classes outside of raids.

But god damn, are they great at that ONE thing. Hittin' it from the back - and hard.

Generally, best to worst:
Rogue
Monk
Warrior
Ranger
Pally and SK

If you have a primal, Avatar will bump you 1-2 spots up on the curve. It should be noted that warriors and knights have the easiest road to a primal (Lance) and rangers are very easy as well (2h axe or sword). This assumes all classes are using 9/10th BiS weapons and not in bard groups, and have the proper buffs so the comparison is equal.

Things like an Abashi, BFG, Mryo/Tunare dagger, all the AoB’s, bard attack buffs, etc will mess with the positions.

My ranger used to reliably parse next to a pally with a primal 2h. Now with Avatar and the same weapons I can nip at the heels of some monks. Other monks and rogues swap top dps positions all the time but overall more rogues are up in that top 15 spots than monks. Law of averages and all that.

Nothing is gonna beat a Warrior tanking an unslowable mob with max DS.

But yeah outside of that Snaggles list is good.
