Level 20 Rogue with Epic

[Supaskillz]

I quested my burning rapier at lvl 30. I was hella proud

I grouped with a guy level 7 that had the Rb 2 days ago at Orc 2. He got it at level 1. Hell if I had 50k I would start one my self.

IMO its good that rogues gets their epic early.

Rogue is a grping class. Getting an epic means their DPS will GREATLY increase (15/25 with 40% haste), so it will help the grp XP even faster, benefits everyone.

Until you are trying to tank for that rogue. If you want to be an RB rogue pre-L30, make sure your AC is high enough to be tanking too.

But its ok, my L11 paladin is about an hour away from having all the turn-ins for his Fiery Avenger. WTB L46.

if someone twinks his lv 1 alt with an epic, he'll most likely is rich enough to afford high end gears and fungi.

Rogue with fungi and Mrylokar's armor can pretty much tank anything pre 40s better than any non twinked tanks wearing bronze armors.

false, said rogue will be face raped by most any yellow/red con xp mob faster than the shitty pre 40s healing spells would land.

a garbage geared warrior will tank anything appropriately. aggro is another story

I'm having a hard-as-hell time believing you, Azeth.

Warrior and rogue at that level have the same defensive skills, more or less. Only differences would be the rogue has much more AC, plus some extra stats and HP (from gear), compared to the warrior wearing bronze... and the warrior would have more base HP.

Why in the world would mobs wreck the rogue in that situation, but not the warrior?

mrylokar's provides a whopping +100 hp for an entire set. Your rogue is rolling with likely 60% of the HP of any tank.

for all intents and purposes, someone bring their twink rogue over to the sarnak fort with a healer. Have whomever is healing jsut use like greater healing, as would be appropriate. Watch how fast your twink gets dropped by yellow cons.

kind of unfair, in this example you're clearly correct. To be honest, you may be correct overall. But let's be realistic and equip our discussion-warrior with normal gear. We'll say crafted, some 55hp rings etc

well ill just take a seat and pipe down then~

I thought Rogues had a big penalty to damage mitigation, anyway. They'll get hit for max more times than a real tank would regardless of stats.
