Rogues, rogues, and more rogues for me. Mine are as good as my zerks, and you just can't beat the utility of SOS for things like corpse recovery or placing a campfire with no issues (assuming 3 rogues of course).

DPS-vice, If you play a Tank as main and rogue through a /broadcaster I would recommend the rogue.
As the rogue can backstab through autoattack while the berserker dps is from mashing keys, timely triggered Dicho and burns. However, if your playstyle is using Kissassist etc, you would benefit greatly from the dicho/aliance/burn dps from 3 grouped berserkers. Also Berserkers can permaburn if discs are cycled correctly.
If you a new to the game, some benefits from the rogue ; explore areas with ease, (poisonmaking) tradeskill, escape from combat, limited crowd control.

i have 4 zerkers and 3 rogues.. disclaimer, id never do 3 zerkers in one group.
zerkers, open world modern combat, or group dungeons, they are brutally effective, can kill for hours and hours, non stop. (sk, shm, zerkerx2, bst, brd, 2 groups worth).
Rogues, once i got them augged and geared, about 80% of the zerker dps, but thats because its a war, clr, rogx3, brd. they can go non stop in world, and also drop campfires, do collections, buy rez tokens good for when things go bad.. ive grown to enjoy having them. im sure if i optimized the group would be darn close dps.
In raids, positioning can kill the rogues, but if its not to cluttered, they can be top 10, behind zerkers usually.

Does anyone have a Ini with burn conditions that does awesome group dps?
I have made this one, but my rogue is still kicking the Zerkers ass.

Warriors are inferior (read: crybaby) tanks
cool story, bro. Lol.
f2p rogues. Prestige gear with full slot 5s and epic zerkers. I have dozens of groups and my rogue groups have a higher kill rate with the same setup same zone same mobs. tank, rog, rog, bst, brd, shm or tank ber ber bst brd shm. The rog group kill rate is 10-15% higher. This is in f2p groups mind you. With prestige gear with full augs the zerker group is higher.

I run the same group as @deathlock and find the zerker and rogue to be pretty even, just depends who has burns up (I run mq2zerk and KA on the rogue). I personally find the rogue to need to med every so often and the zerker to be able to go on infinitely, but the rogue's utility has never made me want to swap to two zerks.

Forgive my terrible paint skills, but I have a theory this is what's happening. The zerker dps gets a huge boost every minute when dicho refreshes, while the rogue with their constant rotation of discs keeps them steady slightly above the zerker's non-dicho dps. This would vary wildly depending on kill/pull speed and could explain all our conflicting accounts of which class is better. If your pulls come in every 30s or minute, you're gonna see the zerker outshine the rogue, whereas if you're pulling more consistently and killing more quickly you'll see the opposite. If you hit the "sweet spot", you see them averaging out to be about even. It's 100% a theory though.
Rog group (1, 33 min break)
Zerker group (1, 27 min break)
Caster group (2, roughly 30 min breaks)
All groups had 1 "null char" that was just sitting there for XP/AA's (healers out of group to make room).
I started with zerkers in the beginning but I am liking the rogues better. Its like Sic says its a game of inches, and yes some guys might be getting more dps with zerk setups but seems like the guys that make all this work use zerkers and focus more time on them and in turn people here using them might do better wiith them. If your like me trying to squeeze everything out of your toon a rogue will come out on top, gotta tweak stuff, even the CTWN rogue uses legg click poison which rogues can make much better poisons. im using a free ini atm and the burn setup was not giving me full potential. I also like the Shared stealth, with 2 rogues you can pretty much move your whole group anywhere in any zone with out issue. I havent purchased the rogue CWTN yet but when i get my toons closer to max I plan on it, As it is right now sustained dps per rogue is 4-500kdp, 90 second burns 1.3 million without glyphs or intensity. But I have to add things in like Coalition, that alone is pretty huge and i dont see any ini with it in the archives.
mq2rogue uses the leg click poison if you add the leg click poison as the poison you would like to use... lol if you don't want to use that poison, then you would addclicky a different poison. we don't say "ZOMG you are using xyz poison we only use this dumb leg poison".
Redcents given because of your sweet paint skills
In theory, I would think Rogue should always be hitting harder and more DPS
Because 1) He is always hitting from behind . That alone is a bonus by itself, you automatically hit for more and more consistently
2) The potential Backstab / assassinate damage
3) Zerker may face the mob and get stunned or his attacks blocked / riposte where Rogue avoids all that

1/3 - If you're face to face with the mob on a zerker, you're doing zerkers incorrectly and should look into a new strategy.
2 - Irrelevant unless you are fighting humanoid mobs. Where berzerkers shine is the fact that they have Decap and it's not limited to a specific body type.
In reference to poisons, berserkers can use poison procs for DPS such as spiders bite. They can't create them their selves. But that's not a deal breaker in my opinion.
durango773 - I'd be interested to know where you were killing, the variable AA's, augs between the parses to get a better understanding of the comparison of classes you are making. I've been watching the thread mostly out of curiosity to see if perhaps those who have put more effort into their rogues that I have are having better luck with their results when comparing them with others.
When you say "Rogue group" and "zerker group" etc, what exactly was the group makup? You say healers are out, but was there CC/ADPS, tank in question?
Any deaths in the process on either test?

Killing in WW the NE tunnel/cave complex.
All char are max AA except for the "nulls".
The augs are all roughly the same (using +Heroic stats in all weps, not + dmg).
Rogue group was: War, Rogx3, Brd, baby necro. Healer was a Clr. All active char in CoV raid T1 and T2 (except necro, naked).
Zerker group was: SK, Zerkerx2, Bst, Brd, baby necro. Healer was a Shm. All active char in CoV raid T1 and T2 (necro had some random bank stuff, but he was FD).
Caster group was: SK, Magx2, Bst, Enc, baby mage. Healer was a Shm. All active char in Tov raid T2, CoV raid T1 and T2 (little mage had heroic toon gear).
The 2 melee groups where ran the same time in 2 different picks. The casters where ran that evening, taking over the zerker team camp.
No deaths that I noted. Set up in the tunnel and pulled the eastern half of the complex. Rogues used CoV t2 leg potions, all 3 tanks where in 2hd mode. Set my burns to any time +3 on all groups, no active CC (mezzing) for any group.

Caster group was: SK, Magx2, Bst, Enc, baby mage. Healer was a Shm. All active char in Tov raid T2, CoV raid T1 and T2 (little mage had heroic toon gear).
The 2 melee groups where ran the same time in 2 different picks. The casters where ran that evening, taking over the zerker team camp.
No deaths that I noted. Set up in the tunnel and pulled the eastern half of the complex. Rogues used CoV t2 leg potions, all 3 tanks where in 2hd mode. Set my burns to any time +3 on all groups, no active CC (mezzing) for any group.

Thanks, so the mobs were Wyverns, and thus not humanoid, which makes it a bit more interesting. I see you own plugins for both the zerker and rogue, assumption is made that you are using them for both. What are your burn condition differences if any for the two classes. Personally I have to run my rogue in burn always to even come close to comparing to my zerkers, but I also don't have comparable augs to get a proper comparison of the two classes.
The OP asked for group. I was in CoV for TS mats (market is booming). I go to CoV for missions, augs, and TS mats. For best bang for your buck, I would say GD, and the numbers there might be different (popcicle dwarfs flagged huminoid?).
I do use the CWTN line in most cases, and have discussed the rogues being burn always. I just havent had a reason to parse it out. Ill give it a shot this week, and maybe thats the secret sauce.
