Rogue race and stats

Nah, HP is worth a lot more than that. It's more like surviving accidental aggro for a quad (probably not a flurry in any place on a rogue) or a rampage while the rampage tank steps out. Sure neither one of these will happen in a perfect scenario, but things often go sideways on highly contested targets. And you're most likely not going to get healed until after the target is dead. Rogues in raid gear shouldn't be satisfied until they're over 5k HP with appropriate buffs.

Remember, folks: dead rogues do zer0 deeps.

Agreed. HP is good on Rogues. AoE's are a great example, more HP = more AoEs you can survive before you die. Also helps the group's healer better prioritize who to save first. If you are a beefy boi, you'll be saving your fellow non beefy boi's in the group.

Dwarf and then halfling if there was no throwing boulders.

Barbarian because of throwing boulders.

For me, it came down to available forms and that ended up with a choice between Gnome and Dwarf. Barrel rolls and stats won me over.

Ring war only exists to farm giant javelins.

elf equippable.

So I guess if you are full best in slot super uber elite velious era wood elf rogue and your guild always kills the Kromrif Spearman and allows all the spears to you, you can match a barbarian rogue.

If a person isn't playing PVP the race choice on a rogue is truly the least important choice and the dwarf MR and high dex is probably top pick, tho I'd prolly do halfling just to be a bit more jolly. Who's gunna farm rocks off giants for better PVE ranged capability.

Rog is literally the class where minmax matters the least, especially once you get to Velious, at which point any race will have STR STA maxed when a shaman is around, at which point the remaining benefits are 5MR for dwarves, throwing boulders for barbarians, VP robe for the robe races, and wall hacks for gnomes. Unless you're the greasiest of the greasy poopsocker, none of those advantages are a big deal. My advice is pick a race you like the look of, especially one that doesn't have an illusion mask, both for fashion quest and because you don't want to have to click a mask because you hate looking at your halflings feet or whatever.

The best stat will always be fashion, go wood elf

Robe wearer = best fashion quest = grats human monk

Barbarians are min/max simply because they get Slam. There's no way to get that otherwise. Plus you get throwing boulders.

No other Rogue racial is unique, and stats can be capped by gear.

Masks allow you to fashion the way you want. You should still be able to wear a robe graphic with Guardian robe if you mask into another race like Dark Elf, so you got the fashion too.

Halfling mask for the shrink.

Large race illusions add slam. Used to use troll potions on live all the time for this purpose.
