I am a Control wizard level 36 and so far every time i have been partied with a Rogue they come out on top with quite a bit more DPS then me. In every dungeon i have been in the top players are rogues, even if i'm a few levels higher i still cant keep up, and they don't even seem to be that squishy, they just kill everything so quick they don't take much damage.

    Trickster Rogues are a pure DPS class.

    If they don't out DPS a control wizard they aren't a very good rogue. Your class is more of a crowd control/DPS class. They aren't OP, they are just doing their job. This isn't WOW, Rogues are proper Rogues in this game.

    Thats because control wizard is "control" and not DPS. You will start topping the charts with clerics later when your AEs start to come into their own. I'm sure they will come out with the other wizard striker classes, that is what you probably wanted to play.

    Not sure if you do but focus on using a lot of aoe whenever there are packs around (which again means using/improving skills/feats that improve your aoe). You will never out dps a rogue on single target. Thats not called something being OP, just classes having different roles. Secondly, stop caring about your dps that much. Brainwashed by WoW i guess :). And if you can't let go, just start a rogue yourself, there.

    I felt overpowered at time but end game I was dying a lot though I think it's just cos the areas are harder.

    So if Tricksters are top single target dps, how are we going to beat them in pvp, especially 1v1?

    in low levels where everthing is easy ofcourse the pure dps classes will shine
    wait until stuff is hard so control is needed

    rogue currently is the only pure dps class ingame, of course its dmg is going to be the highest, everything else would be stupid

    Are you really asking that, playing a Control Wizard? Do you have any idea how annoying it is to PvP against your class?

    The trick is "they kill everything so quick". If they didn't, you'd find out that they are squishy but not as squishy as mages. And if this is not about PVP, why worry about it.

    If you aren't on top as a CW, you are doing CW DPS wrong. Go full AOE and watch the damage numbers skyrocket as you wipe adds before a rogue can even touch them. I am ALWAYS on the top of damage, if not I am near enough that I don't care. CW should not ever be focusing on single target damage.

    Lets just skip the whole tired 'Class X is more powerful than Class Y' arguement. Frankly it's just tedious.

    And not I'm playing a control wizard not a rogue. :p

    True, in the group skirmishes and dungeons I've run as a control wizard I typically am the top of the damage dealers.

    I got tore up pretty good on my rogue one on one by a control wizard. He couldn't kill me quick but he basically had me useless until I finally died. I think its all pretty even. GWF needs a bump in dps if anything.

    Watch some streams of elite dungeons and count how many times the TR and CW go down/die. TR/CW are both glass cannons right now.

    The problem is TR still beats AE classes when there are huge groups of monsters. So sure AE classes get better but still nothing compared to TR, and they are definitely not topping the charts.

    With out going into a HUGE philosophical debate about game design and throwing up charts and examples here it is in a nut shell.

    Rogues take on more risk then mages and have a much more DPS centric design.

    It comes down to that simple fact.

    I'd say 90% of what matter most for topping the damage/kill counts is player skill, 2nd gear. Class a distant third.

    I actually lead all the counts on 5 out of the last 6 dungeon/skirmishes I did.. Playing a guardian, one of the lowest dps classes.

    Last party had 2 rogues and a wizard, both I vastly out damaged.

    Been that way for the first 35 levels anyways.
    looking at a screenshot for cragmire crypts:
    me (guardian 26): 673k
    rogue1 : 508k
    clr: 453k
    wizard: 382k
    rogue2: 377k

    Playing with a friend who plays a rogue well, I get out damaged by a large margin. Huge gaps in damage based on your skill as a player.

    Have to ask if the AE classes you play with are putting all of their skill points and hotbar abilities into DPS like a TR does?

    You can't look at one facet or aspect of the TR's experience and say "hey! OP"....Theres single player normal, Single Player Boss fight, then their is the multi-player raid where you have to work as a group..... It is a complex and dynamic balance...fixing it for one occasion may ruin it for another ...guess what Im saying its more complicated than most people who just leap to claim its "OP" tend to realize.

    The issue is single-target DPS is king in this game especially PvP. So single-target classes such as TR are always going to have an inherent advantage against multiple target classes such as CW. (And lets not even bother bringing up the lol-wut-DPS case of GWFs.......)
