why is rogue so weak?

[EsuZeno]

just started playing it feels like I do 1 dmg per hit

[Herbspiceguy]

Stack strength, true phys and armor pen.

because people cry about landmines. the class is beaten down so badly that you need alot of gear to be viable. pretty much every other class can hold their own in squire gear..
rogues just need at least full blue gear to beat a grey gear barbarian

[Thy GoD]

play like a rogue, dont go balls deep chasing down people, rat in the shadows and bully them into uninstallaation.

ahahaha +1 I think some people are abusing a bit

rogue is weak, among every one his base kit is just nich stats but there is point you can make thing better:

1) Focus the stats you wanna play with
2) Gear yourself in consequences

The Squire is there for a reason, abuse of it.
I'm not into the math stats but if you want to know everything detailed you can find everything on their wiki.

But as a final advice, focus your strengh on the rogue to be around 15 at first side,
It's not the more strengh you have the more damage you'll deal because the factor of damages are per stage. 10~15 is more important than 15~20 for example.

Rogue is weak in health, weak in damage, weak in speed, weak in PDR, weak in everything. Regardless of the warrior who's middle everywhere for an example.
Follow the metas or play as you wish to but you need to get better the way you play and with your gear. (You can gear yourself in so many ways for free on the squire).

Most of the rogues is a dex based build, since you're low in dmg you'd hit fast, the more dex, the more action speed, the more hits.
Some just run a non landmine build and will play a full pen nor a PDR build on it.

Rogue is weak in everything as a base kit, but not at high gear

I love the rogue fantasy but in this game you are the weakest class. 2 hits you are dead, range is weak, daggers are weak and it is very hard to land hits. You will have to go full sneak and even then u get in few hits and then start kiting again. Basically you will kite 90% of the time with crossbow and throwing knives. Feels bad to play and is weak.

Point of playing rogue is not killing, it is picking people's pockets. Anything other than pickpocket is a meme build.

They need to rework the class or a few skills because yes, Rogue feels very weak rn

i say that is wrong because the map area matters cause i had all common gear as barbarian but lost to a rouge with worse gear the main reason for that is range and speed and the area they are at and also barbarian isn't allowed better shields like the fighter and the barbarian war cry and savage roar shout ability should be one since them roaring/shouting would inflict fear and help buff morale and in someways the war cry should also buff damage and move speed

rouges are super op with those who can react fast enough with their dagger's attack speed and them moving around the player can kill others with ease i know cause i was one of the victims
also rouges are mainly for range combat

all true but the only advantage rogue has is it's cheap to get high speed but sucks ass in everything else as you said.
it's weird that you HAVE to get fully kitted to be usable

if its a skill issue, then thats just says you have to be good to play rogue.

bro like cmon.

Rogues are just ass, they are just for the memes of stealing stuff off people.

[⚡uhjjug⚛u⚛ri⚡]

No skill rogues made lots of new-ish people quit so the devs nerfed them to where they should've been.

There are outliers that still get multiple kills with them by keeping perfect distance and baiting out attacks because they have faster animation speed.

But for most newbies that don't understand the game's flow of combat it is not recommended to start off the game with if you're new.
