I heard they got nerfed bad, but still I can't beat them in doing the most damage in dungeon runs

    I've been able to out-DPS 99% of CWs I've team with in T1s and T2s with. I out-DPS only about 60% of rogues. Basically, to out DPS rogues you have to have better gear, a better build and hope they are not very good.

    Also, CW single target damage is no where near as strong as TR, so you need to concentrate on AoE. Chill Strike, Sudden Storm and Conduct of Ice are all very handy for this.

    You could just lay down some hard cc . Which is what our class does the best, and not worry about being number one on charts.

    If you're looking to top the meters you should only pick dungeons where it is AoE centric and always make sure that you start each encounter with your daily up.

    You can also troll the ever living **** out of your party by including as many knock backs as possible and make it a point to disrupt anything the rogue is on but that might be... counter productive. You should also look at the Thaumaturgy line and stack as many % buffs as you can.

    I am going to bet that if you can get a daily up within every 20-25 seconds you'll be able to 'top' the meters if that's really all that important.

    If all the above advice doesn't help or just gets your group mad at you, you could always roll warlock when it comes out.

    You won't out dps good rogues in any dungeon unless you severely outgear them. You should be within 20% of their of damage done if you have similar gear though

    Why even worry about topping the meters? Just do your job, if you want to top meters go make a TR. Control stuff, aoe stuff down, debuff. It's what a CW is for. Sure they have really good dps. Trash just aoe down, 'elites' just sith choke hold the HAMSTER. Another comes running and you have repel, push it off your healer or what I love doing, push them into a fire and watch them run around for a second or two.

    First thing i find is stay with on top of them on runs when you want to measure your dps. I see alot of rogues ranging ahead to grab mobs first.
