rogue VS mage?

**lordJastafarr** · 12-31-2012, 05:57 PM

In terms of pve wise which is better i feel like i would die more as a rogue than mage but as i have now my mage at 18 i died alot lately like getting 3 shotted easily i ask this because i might reroll to rogue since you have alot of ways to mitigate incomming damage and aswell more damage health and armor

**ProSophist** · 12-31-2012, 06:50 PM

Single target = Rogue
AoE= Sorcerer

**lordJastafarr** · 12-31-2012, 06:58 PM

Well ima need a little more than that.... And i know rogue can aoe aswell and with more damage.

Actually when I think ahout it, you cant compare these two as they both specialise in damage, mage aoe and rogue single target destruction.

I just feel like rogue will be better in the long run even with over 1k health it just doesnt hold up cuz armor is so low i feel like paper when running with my friends and the only how ill lessen that danage is to take up the shield skill yet ill have to give up lifegiver x.x and thats not an option rogue to me i think because of the high dodge damage crit plus good armor and health i wouldnt die as much because u guys basically have skills to negate most of the incomming damage

Rogue is more fun, sorcerer is a little blue guy. Make your decision wisely

**Pwnman** · 12-31-2012, 09:18 PM

I actually prefer mage but thats just me...
Cant compare them as previously said thou

**lordJastafarr** · 12-31-2012, 09:47 PM

Ill try both to 20 then see which holds up i guess for now just wish mages had more armor i dnt like bieng cookie dough x.x

**lordJastafarr** · 12-31-2012, 09:48 PM

And plus mage and archer mobs hit hard as crap lol i can barely stand 5 hits

Thats the best thing to do

Well for mage its more of crowd control , etc, freezing them and stunning them and they are very useful in clearing mobs.
For rouges i think is more of doing heavy dmg to single targets and they crits like hell too and the super high evasion lets you tank better than most warriors imo. <-- my choice

Yea thats wat i need is damage negation lol lots of dodge mage has none the only way to really negate on mage is arcane shield which is not a normal skill to take in main INT builds i found myself racking up alot of deaths in the tombs and dead city from just a few mobs hitting me for crazy damage i get 2shotted by bosses like always but mage is definitly good for CC damage isnt half bad hehe i wish i had my buffs like on enchantress in PL

At the moment, Rogues are supreme.

They have superb single-target damage and still-stellar aoe potential, lacking only a few of the aoe stunning ability Sorcerers have. If you're going for the more efficient class, rogues are it at the moment. (This coming from someone who is a sorc for life)

^ Yup. As much as I love the sorcerer class, my sorc is still 16 and my rogue is effectively my main now.

Will bring my sorc back for PvP, however. That's what I rolled sorc for.

**lordJastafarr** · 01-01-2013, 04:58 PM

Yea got a feeling sorc will rule pvp all those knockdowns knockbacks stuns freezing lol lifegiver heals great aswell lol even arcane shield my god.

**Sharaobic** · 01-05-2013, 04:29 AM

You know before dead city update rogue was cosidered underpowered and warrior toughest :P

**Aeoros** · 01-05-2013, 05:36 AM

Class balance is always changing.
Enough said...

I love Marry Poppins! And yes that is the way a rogue becomes mob control. But I normally Bly use net.

i have a feeling rogues will rule pvp with all are dmg. crits. and dodge. ex: razor shield, +20%, High dot for 8 seconds and disables roots and snares. rogue is anti mage :P
