They don't get more benefit out of accuracy. Dual wielding is more of a melee rogue crutch than a serious top tier DPR choice.
are you joking? Missing 1 attack in a round for a Fighter after level 11 is negligible. For a rogue, hitting with the first attack more reliable means more SA per combat, and greater ability to use Cunning Action, and better ability to get the most out of things like Magic Initiate for SCAG cantrips attacks.
Crossbow Expert? Sorry you're dead wrong. The +5/-10 mechanic favors many low-damage attacks, not one big attack. Crossbow Expert favors Fighters and Rangers.
crossbow expert doesn’t have a -5/+10 mechanic, so how is -5/+10 even relevant to the utility of it on a rogue? CE is good for a rogue because they can use their bonus action to get a second chance at SA when they miss, and keep a reasonable distance from the scariest melee enemies.
What does their "build room" got to do with feats, unless you're basically saying "okay, so feats DOESNT grant them anywhere near the DPR increase that fighters get, but look here at some other shiny stuff".
What? Seriously? The mind boggles at this whole post, zapp.
Rogues are more free than GWF types or multiattack archers to pursue feats like mage slayer, mobile, war caster (for gish rogues), magic initiate, skulker (for the ranged permastealth rogue), etc, bc they don’t have “mandatory” feats to hit some arbitrary DPR benchmark. They just need reliable SA. Also, Sentinel works fine for rogues, and it’s one of the better combat feats.
Nope. Leaving one class out in the cold options-wise makes no sense. The only explanation is that WotC shrugged and didn't care about games with subsystems they supplied turned on.
they haven’t done that.
But there are no other solutions. There are no solutions at all, in fact, except handing out free Speed potions. Which flies directly in the face of 5E's "less magic items" direction.
Now that I have pointed this out I shall return to lurking.
Nope. Provide hard numbers for your claim that rogues are a whole tier below most other damage focused classes in DPR in a game with feats.
They aren’t. They aren’t first place, and there is room to boost them A BIT without making them outshine other classes, but they aren’t a third string DPR class, at all.
