I think I posted in a thread to you about that. I really want an Ogre SK but I'm scared to death of that xp penalty. Having a hard enough time on a halfling rogue trying to lvl

Is the consensus monk > rogue for classic damage output?

Early on? Yes.
By the end? No.

The gap widens more after Kunark.

Yikes. So at least ~1.6 years until Rogues start to do better than monks. I see why there are so few rogues.

When Rogues start hitting 50 they will do more damage than monks assuming the Rogue has a tank and can backstab and you're comparing it to a similarly geared Monk. The gap widens more and more with equivalent gear ups. We're talking months, not 1.6 years. That is what I meant when I said "by the end."

Ah okay, so for melee it goes Rogue>Monk>War by the time some gear starts happening. Not necessarily by the time Kunark or Velious hits?

I appreciate the feedback.

edit: I assume the difference between all of them is only 20% or so anyways. I'm a melee noob.

That also assumes a warrior with a crappy weapon is holding aggro so you can BS. The druids snaring on inc makes it entertaining for the warrior to try to get aggro. All in all I'm really enjoying the lack of tactics in some groups. Keeps me from falling asleep
