I main'ed a rogue on live & my main here on p99 is also a rogue. I've played druids but never a pure caster. What everyone has said thus far is fairly accurate. You can solo as a rogue but only if you're pretty heavily twinked. I was never twinked, had crappy gear while leveling up but did just fine finding & making groups.

They're both GREAT dps classes both in groups & raids. What you're really deciding between is the ability to move around unseen in most places vs. the ability to teleport (aside from the obvious mdps vs. rdps). IIRC, a lot more things saw thru rogue invis in Velious than they did in Kunark (tho i dunno how it'll eventually work on this server) on live.

Wizards in Velious seem VERY fun cuz they get to teleport to all those out of the way spots (which can be dangerous, mind u!) but they get the abilitiy to Translocate- being able to send someone to their bind point without you, the porter, going with them. With Velious comes HUGE ass zones so getting around quickly becomes super important. Folks sometimes forget about Abscond/Evacuate (Egress/Succor for Druids) & they're HUGE time-savers when traveling.

As a DPS class my main advice is to be aggressive in forming groups. Too many times I walked into Seb w/8 ppl LFG & I'd just get a group going w/those folks who weren't afk. The group makeup wasn't always perfect but we saw action & our xp meter rose.
