Rogues are one of the weakest classes in the game right now, with only 1 or 2 favorable matchups and only with specific setups.
You can easly block them witha shield, after a block they normally run away or die.
As a fighter or barbarian, a rouge shouldn't be a problem unless he completely caught you off guard or weakened you too much with ranged attacks. Dagger attacks can also be blocked with practice.
Also bear in mind that rouges are greatly outmatched by other melee classes in terms of armor and HP. As soon as a rouge has taken one or two hits, he is as good as dead.
I therefore recommend that you either weaken the rouge at range first and then finish him off in close combat, or be flexible in close combat. It's also no shame to back off a little in close combat and then charge again. But when you are in close combat, it is important not to drop back, but always try to deal damage. Hesitation in combat costs DnD lives.
Yeah use a big weapon that can two tap and out dps them and never put your weapon away because if they catch you like that and you have to get your weapon out you won't survive in most cases
I give this advice satirically to mock the devs not fixing this yet. So yea its meta, go do it. Bonus points if you torch smack him through a door by crouching and looking down, goes right through the door and hits the guy on the other side. Jgriffyuh or whatever did this, some consider him the best D&D streamer. So its totally approved by the pros and devs apparently.
This advice is actually beneficial to the rogue, because it is not hard to "swipe" your mouse to negate this "deadzone".
They may have an advantage if you fail to spot a rogue beforehand or suck at being aware of your surroundings and sounds, but even if they do get the land on you first, they're weak and odds are you'll win.
Just dont let any rogue get you by the back, they deal 30% more damage attacking from the back.
Not true, learn how to make a build, rogues are one of the strongest classes, they can kill pretty easily if the build is done right and if the player has the skills to evade range attacks.
But any tank build can be easily defeated by good rogues, by their speed they can choose where to fight, thats one of the biggest advantages.
It def is the best class if the player has the skills to make it the strongest.
Rogues do not win head to head match ups against any melee oriented class in melee unless they get the first good hit, and I'm not talking about a hand crossbow shot or 2. Melee classes literally melt you in 2-3 swings, especially Barb.
Rogues do not win head to head match ups against any ranged oriented class at range for obvious reasons.
Rogues only win midrange fights if their inventory is literally filled with throwing knives and they dodge everything, which as you get higher up is much more difficult to do.
The amount of effort you need to put in to be a "good" Rogue compared to being a good Fighter or Ranger is astronomical and they still have more unfavorable matchups than any other class.
Also, brother, you only have 14 hours total in the game, you have zero clue what Rogues good matchups are.
LOL I have 14 hours on steam
Do you know that this game was playable way before getting to steam?
And obviously rogues wont win a head to head match, thats because they need to be oportunistic. Any pvp rogue build can be made to them get "easily" (easily if the player has the movement and spacial awareness skills) behind your back and kill you. You cant play rogue with a "melee head to head mindset", even if the first hits start, they can vanish and appear in your back, or bring you to another place where they can get to a higher ground.
You wont be gaining anything if playing rogue thinking the way to play it is just getting in front of someone and smash the mouse button.
For pvp rogue invisiblity or smoke is a need.
The secondary dagger (which most times has more damage) can hit 3 times in less than 2 seconds, if its poisoned and they do hit it by your back (which gives 30% more damage + 15% from dagger mastery) you're done in literally 2 seconds
