Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Rogues, not living up to expectations.

I, as with some other, SOLO 'lonewolf' play. As such, with 656.1 hours total played, here are my findings:

Strongest SOLO classes currently:

Battlemaster
Rogue
Ranger Melee
Wizard
And Cleric (specifically Light Cleric and Trickster Cleric) can solo but not as easily as the above 4.
Warlock, I have yet to solo with a warlock. In their current configuration and level cap at 4, its painful, very painful, no where near the SOLO capabilities of the first 4, no where near.

Playing SOLO means that we SOLO players typically have a different mindset compared to those who primarily do full party runs. We have to think more, plan more, prep more, especially if you challenge your run by not only playing SOLO (no other party member) coupled with permadeath, meaning no save scumming and when you die, you start over verses a reload.

ROGUE is strong, very strong because positioning is near amounts everything. When you can wreck the Bulette or Mino's in less than four turns using a ROGUE (or any build for that matter) using only two shortswords, you got a pretty strong build who is using the best equipment/weapons for that build. ROGUE is very capable, very strong, and to boot, couple that Rogue with a +1 Heavy Crossbow/+1 Longbow and you got a very capable and strong ranged character, as well.

Just my take and two cents.
