Honestly, I just love being a rogue.That's really why I play. I love being able to hide. I love being able to choose my fights. I love sneaking up behind people. It just fits my personality perfectly. I can sit there in a battleground and watch people and laugh.

As for what you can do in pvp/pve. PVE Rogues are top damage. End story. That's there job, and they do it perfectly (granted the player knows what they're doing). Sapping is a blessing for rogues whether it's soloing, or in an instance/group. Vanishing in a sticky situation and surviving? No problems here. You save wipes for the most part (Or I do, being an engineer as well. Goblin Jumper Cables XL ftw.).

PVP - Watch World of Roguecraft. (all of them, there are 3) http://stage6.divx.com/user/Theox/video/1018783/World-of-Roguecraft-Episode1 Granted it's a little out of date, and things are a lot different now, but the basic principle still applies. That's really all I can say about it honestly, I don't pvp too much, but lately I have been, and I'm in full PVE gear, and Combat Daggers and I still end up in the top 3 of AV every time.

As for rerolling, I wouldn't reroll. I originally played a Warrior when I first started playing, got him to 48 and realized that everyone wanted me to tank and not dps, and I didn't like it, so I quit. I have a strong dps/paper tank history playing everquest as a ranger for like, 6 years.

Anyway, hope this helps.

Mischieff.

Do not watch World of Roguecraft if you're looking for an insight into PVP as a rogue. You will not learn any basic principles and you will not garner any valuable information from it. I cannot believe people still think that those movies had anything to do with the day to day life of a rogue in PVP.

It was hysterical propaganda meant for entertainment, nothing more and nothing less.

As for your question, it will come down to personal taste. I've always enjoyed melee classes more and the rogue has been my favourite because of two reasons. The ability to stealth and the unrivaled melee damage. Also they're badass. OK, three reasons then.

You're not going to be able to toe it with a warrior straight up, you'll need to learn when to use your cooldowns and train yourself to use them wisely. You'll need to pick your fights as they come, and know when it's best not to engage.

Any scrub can run around mashing the sinister strike button and do some damage, but if you take the time to learn the rogue class inside-out, you can be nigh on unstoppable and have a great deal of fun. It's a rewarding experience. I strongly suggest you try it.
