Why can't Rogues be viable on TLP?

What era and what buffs? I know rangers have great attack buffs but what buffs are you talking about that add more dps than bard overhaste and stuff? Not disagreeing, just curious as I have never played a ranger.

Depends on the level, gear ect. But in some expansions it's upwards of 35% of their damage. Rogue's are S-tier in most expansions on mobs that don't have MoTM.

This is just untrue, lots of people like the expansions past PoP better than the ones pre-PoP. The game gets so much better as you go deeper in. If you came from P99 and jumped onto Live then yeah, I could see why you'd hate it, but roll on a tlp and play it out, the big scary numbers and tons of hotkeys and abilities happen organically and you don't really notice since you get 1 or 2 at a time and can figure out how they work before getting another 1 or 2 in 2-3 months. a 10k or 100k nuke on a mob in that era is doing the same % damage as a 100 dmg nuke, its all relative.

If you want to play in velious and kunark with new content, wait around, the expansions circle back to them.

Can safely say I never had a 1 damage backstab in Classic on Aradune. 32 damage backstab cap, yes. But not 1.

Never really struggled to hit the parses either, but I'm tryhard as hell. All I know is monks in my guild are sending tell to the officers complaining about rOGUe cOLluSion now that we're in PoP. Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear
