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??

Assuming both classes have all CDs up, mage vs rogue is a skill match up. Could go either way.

Also depends on location, a wise rogue will engage a mage where there is options to LOS.

I'm not a good rogue but the good ones remember that.

The worst feeling is when you try to LOS and whatever object your doing that around doesn’t count lol.

I feel like this applies to 80% of tree models in the game

Ultimately, you’re right. I think that most of the skill relies on the mage & a Rogue will win at lower skill levels.

Mages have escape from the stunlock with Blink / Ice Block, they have lockup with permaslow and ice nova, and they can locate a vanished rogue with AoE

But if they fuck up their cooldowns and/or the rogue has imp sprint, it’s in the rogue’s favor.

that's fair
