Celtic Heroes

Why have rogues been nerfed so much through the course of this game??
I mean I used to hit 650 with sneaky at lvl 48 now I can't even hit 200 at lvl 58
Sneaky attack should be the highest hitting skill but warriors can hit like 800 with pommel and still be tanks??
Come on this needs to be fixed before pvp!!

Hey there, I think rogues do the highest dps in the game so I'm not sure they are that weak.

Pvp is going to be balanced seperately from the PVE portion of the game during the forthcoming beta.

Thanks!

I concur that rogues are underpowered relative to warriors. They may have higher dps, but they do less damage. I dont know why, but for some reason, my lvl 88 rogue, fully geared with meteoric dagger or ice dagger, cannot steal aggro in a long boss fight when a high level warrior is tanking. I'm not sure how damage works in this game, but if the mob's armor is high, the higher damage weapon will be better because the armor of the mob reduces the damage significantly. Also, skill damage is based on the weapon damage and warriors have significantly higher weapon damage, up to 150 ! Dps doesn't mean you kill faster.

Hi there, warriors get a taunt skill which means they can keep agro more easily than other classes - however in raw damage terms a rogue will greatly outdamage a warrior over time, the meteoric dagger is the most damaging weapon currently in the game.

The armour works that it reduces a percentage of the damage so whatever value you are hitting for it won't affect your dps.

Thanks!

Good to know. I can tell you, in a shorter fight, the ice dagger does much more damage because of the skill damage. Now I know what to use when

In my opinion, if you were to line up classes by most dps then it would go in this order.

Rogues
Rangers
Mages/Worriors
Druids


The lack of damage on the weapon a Rogue uses is made up for in speed. Especially with he new gloves its a bit over powering but all good.

After some testing, I feel the the winter king dagger is better than the meteoric dagger in almost all cases. If you fight an easy mob, the extra skill damage will kill it much faster. If you fight a boss, while the meteoric dagger has higher dps, a decent percentage of hits will not land, even if your attack is 1100 or more. Skills, however, always land, and that is where the winter king dagger shines. Assuming mana is not an issue, and with the lux shop items it should not be, then you can use your skills throughout the entire fight without interruption. In all cases the Winter King Dagger has done more damage for me because of the high probability of not landing a regular attack.
