    Rogues have faster attacks, kinda the staple of the rogue in general.

    Daggers attack faster than swords and definitely faster than a greatsword.
    There is a rumor floating around that I am working on a new foundry quest. It was started by me.

    Are you surprised that a rogue wielding daggers that are a fraction of the size of a sword can attack more quickly? Faster, weaker strikes versus slower, stronger strikes has been a balance staple since RPGs began.

    And going to D&D damage dice

    Dagger 1d4

    GS 2d6

    To achieve even comparable MMO DPS the dagger needs to hit a bit more often :D

    Rogues should be able to attack faster, they're agile, and recieve less hps per level than a fighter. Their best defense is speed. I'm not even sure how they plan on dealing with aggro management and sneak attack damage.

    Fighters are lugging around in heavy armor (full plate from the looks of the video) which has a max dex armor bonus (if they plan on keeping this close to DnD or just stapling the name to their title to make it look good), they recieve more hps per level than a rogue.

    This is a 3.5 edition rule. In 4e heavy armor doesn't have any dex bonus to AC, but it scales with levels.

    Yeah, I'm looking up the 4e rules just to double check and notice a lot of things I'm not used to.

    The point still stands that rogues are nimble and squishier than a beefy fighter in heavy armor.

    The question is if the speeds are so disparate to need a re-balance. The weekend test will be the decider of that.
