You mention rogues having low group desirability, but then in another thread you proclaim you will never group with a hybrid class? So which is it?

They're not mutually exclusive. My refusing to invite any Hybrid Class to my groups has literally nothing to do with the group-desirability of Rogues. Until Rogues get something like a Serrated Bone Dirk they will literally have lower DPS than a Mage Pet.

People who think rogues are bad in classic have no idea how good backstab is when everyone elses weapons are garbage.

I was mostly pointing out the disparity between melee and caster DPS. Again, as I said above, a Mage Pet can literally out-DPS a Rogue until they have a sufficiently high-damage piercer to increase BS damage.

On a classic emulation server, that is literally one of the most common items that gets massively produced on the server, since it shares mob with Guise. Every rogue within a week is going to have that dagger dumped on him by all the people waiting in line ;p

How good is backstab when your mainhand is a 6dmg weapon? I really am curious

Prolly something like 25-30dmg backstabs....when they're not completely missing due to low BS skill
