[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6460920, member: 5834"] I like the rogue class for the most part. I'm disappointed they are perhaps the weakest of the martial damage dealers. From what I've found so far, the rogue lags behind in damage just about every martial due to a lack of multiple attacks and ability to increase their damage. Mearls and Crawford overvalued the extra dice from sneak and miscalculated how easy Great Weapon Master is to use. They also gained no abilities like Action Surge, Reckless, and Divine Smite to boost damage. No one is more mobile than the rogue though. That is nice. Their skill mastery is second to none. The rogue is supposed to be a top martial damage dealer. They are not in 5E. Even the ranger using Sharpshooter is easily challenging me for damage. It's unfortunate the game designers miscalculated the value of particular abilities during actual play yet again. Amazing given the level of play testing. Or maybe they intended the rogue to be behind all the other martial damage dealers. I don't know. [/QUOTE]
