    Default Rogue vs Warrior, looking for specs, advice...

    So nothing makes this game less fun than to see the natural cause and effect of classes become skewed while nothing is being done to change this. Logic would serve that the higher your armor class the more health and less damage capability you would have. However, along comes warriors who assume their class is meant to be the only true melee class in the game and apparently have convinced Trion they're correct.

    Is it just me or does everyone look at the health of warrior and just tab to the next target. Granted they have +10k health and +9k armor usually but how does giving them an 8 point full heal and dps that rivals any other class make sense. I could go on and on about how they spam AoE's without targets and pop everyone out of stealth and how their reactives do more damage than our bleeds but it would never end.

    Anyone have a build or strategy for killing Warriors I'll gladly take some advice for competitive level 50's, rank 40, fully geared.

    what grind my gears is I made a warrior last week, lvld him to 50 and hes already doing 2200 st, and ridiclous aoe with crappy gear, crafted two hander, no PA, exc. It took me a while raiding as my rogue to get those kind of numbers on a spec I can aoe and ST in. I kinda wish I didn't grind 500 lvls of PA on my rogue now, if I had the gear on my warrior that I do on my rogue my dps would be out of control right now, im full hk/rotp annd couldnt imagine with the scaling they get from gear and PAs how much i could dominate. I literally made the RW spec, have no synergy crystal and was doing really well within 2 mins of rolling the spec I never even used once to lvl. The survivability is insane having tons of armor/hp/dps/st/aoe in the same spec. I hate whining but I feel the need, seems like a rogue should do better dps since theyre squishy/eenergy starved (need support to be viable) I jsut dont see the advantage to being a rogue over a warrior. Worse tanking, gimp energy, ST/AOE are in different specs, doesnt scale well, PA contributes less, squishier, exc. Where is the love?

    My strat for killing warriors is this:

    3 HK weapons (for the 150 hit)
    4 piece HK crystal set (for the rest of the 100+ hit to hit them in tank spec, and for the dps boost to eat them down before they get me or get a heal)

    Specs? NB/RS/BD (48/18/0), Sin/XX/XX (51/A few varieties work). Some folks do it with a MM/RS build. All these work pretty well and will let you get warriors. NB/RS will suck against a VK though.
    Laban Rogue <That Guild>. Bad... good? I'm the guy with the gun.
