RougesDealsMoreDamageThanSorcs?

[Emememil]

Is it true that a rouge deals more damage than a sorcerer?
My sorc deals 226-282 with his fireball and cools down after 4 sec.
Deals 346-432 by lightning cooled after 3.
Time deals 301-376 and is cool after 10 sec.
Has a rouges skills anywhere near these dmg points?
All the best,
Sorc.

rogues are more reliant on the crit aimed shot...which normally hits around 400. pvp builds with have nox....but pve build like me get owned in krag arena. pvp rogues are OP, heal needs to be nerfed.

With a big crowd mages do more damage because of all the AoE but rogues are way better with single target damage. noxious bolt and shadow piercer do around 220-280 damage aimed shot is evn higher and all 3 cool down in 2 seconds..... They also have insane critical mine is at 25% and spamming aimed shot boosts it another 20-30

Just saying:
Windmill is 73.75 mana, 10 sec cooldown, 100-125 damage, upgraded +15%.
Chest Splitter is 60 mana, 3 sec cooldown, 116-145 damage.
Skyward smash is 65 mana, 4 sec cooldown, 116-145 damage, upgraded +10%.
Axe throw is 60 mana, 7 sec cooldown, 94-117 damage, upgraded +15%.

The other skills are support skills, buffs/heals ect. They range from 51 mana to 64 mana to use.

I would think most warriors have a mana pool like me 420 mana points, it don't go far because of the mana cost.

I just wanted to add this to the discussion as a comparison. Your guys skills do some good damage. Seems sorcerors have more variety to choose from that can hit well.

Hi Killa. You seem to be lost. Vengeful Blood threads are that way :D --->

Short answer to OP, it's already been said. Rogues are boss killers. Flat numbers in skill descriptions won't tell the whole story since rogues rely on high critical rate, fast normal attacks and a variety of buffs/debuffs to augment damage. Sorcs are crowd killers, and become crowd controllers and damage/support in elites since we can't just fireball through everything anymore.
