If you have 2 rogues its a good idea to form 3 sides of a triangle with the tank if he's struggling to hold it versus 2 epic daggers, and if one of the rogues gets aggro (even briefly) there isn't much movement required to keep backstabbing.

Rogues are good, but you really can't have the "I'll just get a fungi and solo" attitude which is probably why there's way more monks.

If a tank is losing aggro to a rogue, one or both of them needs to learn how to play their class. I've done duo / trio tanking with other rogues (aggro-tennis and the triangle-formation you describe) before because the tank has gone LD, but consistently gaining aggro to the point where you are doing that with a tank requires a rogue who doesn't know how to evade and a tank who failed to train their taunt skill.

That or a rogue with an insanely-high DPS or a high-aggro proc like a Serrated Bone Dirk.

How is this compiled? The about doesn't state where the numbers come from.

It comes from parsing logs from /who all and screening for duplicates as well as a player can.

About a year and a half ago (outdated by now), Ephi posted this data, taken from the actual server database:

What lvl is your Rogue? I <3 my rogue so much I really don't play any other class (on the blue server) and I never usually have issues finding a group. Sometimes it can be tough, but in those cases I just create my own. Rogues (as already said) are highly desired for our dps ability but we also offer some nifty utility in the form of unlocking doors (crypt for example) and corpse draggin'. Definitely things that are fun imho. However, warrior isn't a bad choice either especially if you're looking to raid.

What classes are needed? Ones that aren't played by tards.

[Kagey]

With velious around the corner having a rogue main is a great idea. DPS is something that groups and guilds will need a large amounts of. Yes wizy but your bane spells wont be coming in for sometime, And they are burts not sustained during fights and raids.

Anything can get a group, provided you are willing to put forth the effort.

Play whatever you want to play. Getting groups isn't hard if your willing to put in a little effort. That means who all level class and sending tells. Once you get a group try to make friends with the people who are good and put them on your friends list.

Bards wru? In with the rogues I'd say.

Rangers wru? Debatable!

Necros? In the right hands a very capable class with tons of utility. But everyone who hates necros never played one to a decent level, and therefore "omg they suck"

Ok, updated the list, thanks, it was late when I made it :/
