Green rogues: how is it?

I feel you, bazia. I spent quite a bit of time with my blue rogue in duos or trios that were fear kiting. Effective but maddening. I fucking HATED chasing stuff and staying right in melee range, even when stuff was snared. Instrument bonus bard snare was the only one strong enough to slow them down enough to make it almost bearable.

yeah im a few levels in and not caring for it

What? You don't like chasing mobs at clinging darkness speed without sow?

How does rogue compare with monk in classic era?

Are groups always itching to have you? What sort of piercers are you using? How does your damage stack up so far against mages, necros, monks, warriors?

Groups don't seem to be itching to have me -- but I don't have a hard time getting into groups. I'm only level 9 though. So No backstab. Pre backstab, rogue isn't really dps. I don't have double attack, dual wield, or anything that marks up my dps. So... I usually keep quiet about that and hope no one notices my dps isn't doing much. I stay behind mobs while tanks are tanking, to give them the illusion I'm doing something. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Not had much of a problem finding a group. Most players seem friendly and eager to help. Knowing the zone, the spawn points and timers and generally being an efficient player seems to be the key thing right now.

I'm having a blast playing a rogue. I rolled him up on day one & now he's level 7. I've had groups constantly & everyone's been working really well together.

Will the DPS hold up? I don't know. But I do know that I'm having a ton of fun.

I'm a human so the night blindness thing is kind of crappy.

They are the top melee DPS in the game.

In Kunark with epic+, for sure. In Velious maybe.

In classic? Are they really?

Early in Classic I would say no. That distinction probably goes to pet classes. Pet class damage really does not scale with gear so the gap lessens as gear becomes more available. By level 50 with reasonable gear a rogue should outdamage everyone in sustained damage over time.

I should note here that enchanters are a special case. I can’t speak about which charms are capable of outdamaging PCs.

As expected, it's awful and I'm loving it.
