Classic 20th Anniversary Realms Which class hard counters Rogues in a 1v1 open world scenario?

Seeing how toxic PvP servers are, there would be nothing more than to make a Rogue seethe in PvP. I'm think it's either hunters or warlocks but is there a best of the beat class to do the job well??

Arms Warrior can demolish a rogue with PvP trinket equipped and shadow priest own too. Shadow priest melt rogues. Warlocks does a decent job but I feel like it’s a 50/50 battle.

a good rogue will throw a warrior in the dumpster if they're willing to blow prep. the only thing that changes that is if it's an orc or dwarf warrior that can either RNG resist a stun or stoneform the blind.

A good rogue will get hit for 50% of his hp regardless by overpower warrior would have to be brain dead or have no cds to lose in classic

nah dude, assuming they have prep a rogue has an answer to everything a warrior can do. they lose outright assuming there's not a ridiculous gear discrepancy (and even then, it's in the rogue's favor). to guarantee victory it does take nearly every CD, but a warrior just gets controlled and bled out if necessary.

Blind is a poison in OG WoW. Stoneform removes it.

Maybe if you’re a dwarf or orc. You need to be able to break a blind or stun on top of trinket to reliably win.
