High AC on A Rogue?

Block is broke along with monk defense in general in this era.

Really interesting results there. Particularly interesting to see the the ranger having a better average hit than the monk, despite a far lower AC. I wonder whether that is a result of the ranger having poor avoidance but decent access to AC buffs? That certainly is reflected by the Accuracy scores!

I'm also interested to know the races of the SKs. Are either iksar?

I would think the ranger being 3 levels higher as well as having access to ac buffs might contribute but I don’t know anything else about those parses I don’t remember where the original post was on this.

Each level takes a decent chunk of time, so even while actively avoiding getting swung at it seems unlikely to avoid capping defence.

Are many rogues failing to cap their defence skills by level?

My defense is capped.

I still get rocked in 2 seconds if I try to tank.

Then again, I have a STR focused build.

Rogues should have higher Dodge (same as Monk)

Torpor ganks a rogue’s aggro generation too. Not exactly a synergy for tanking with rogues.

Rogues shouldn't tank.

Rogues shouldn't pull.

Rogues shouldn't solo.

It's all these oughts that rigid thinking people will repeat to you over and over again. You are more than a DPS bot. You are a puller. A soloist. And if you build your character up, a tank. These roles are definitely more challenging on this class, but it primarily comes down to being a good player who strives to get the most out of their character.

People aren't saying you can't tank, pull, or solo. You can play however you want. Again, basically any class can tank if you have a Torpor Shaman.

There are two problems. The first problem is this is an MMO, so the opinion of your party members matters, unless you want to be a dick. If people want you to play the DPS role as a Rogue, you should take that into consideration.

The second problem is in 6 man group, the Rogue pulling/tanking is usually the worst choice, unless you have a non-standard group, like 6 rogues or something. The server population is still healthy, so it usually isn't hard to find a puller/tank AND a DPS (Rogue).

Pretty much main goal of rogue is to avoid agro and stack HP and resist to survive AOE spells /nod
