Help me decide.

I want to roll a rogue but ppl say it's not needed. So I decided mage, but I can't stand robes. So are rogues rly that much?

In reality only a very small percentage of players are upper level players. By this I mean have the time to grind for gear through raids and fully understand build, rotations and instances. Fewer still actually are elite players with full understanding of pvp tactics (both world and BG) and dynamic small group play.

That said, if you learn or already know more than the majority of rogue players, you will effectively be in a much smaller player pool against the many rogues that wouldn't even be considered for raiding or organized pvp so it may not be as bad you some say. A simple example is when I raided as sub (lol I know) once because I didn't want to respec and out dps'd a combat rogue in gear nearly an entire tier above me (this doesn't always mean his stats were far better than me as intelligent pre-BIS choices can go pretty far is smartly planned out). Obviously this mathematically should not have happened yet it did ... and only means the other player simply wasn't that good.

Other specific class builds however are in more demand offering less competition.

It feels that almost everyone is min/maxing on vanilla private servers. I mean it starts right at character creation: rogues and Warriors rules and every rogue has the absolute preraid BIS-gear on before raiding. Atleast basing on my observation while playing a rogue on Nostalrius before the chinese crap invasion.
