its kinda depressing to see something like this i play both classes on a regular bases and yes a rog doesnt care about mana but heck we wear items with caster effects for the str on it a ranger and rog would both like to have the 10 sta i dont know how many hp that sould make and raw hp is always a winner for either class since we dont get alot in the firstplace my rogue has 1550 nekkid at 52 so with gear he is about 1650 or so his gear is really dated and both classes have the need for the saves and str personally on my rogue ive dropped high ac items to put on things with more saves or more sta and dex i dont care if i ever get 1k ac i dont need it i am very good at evasion so i dont see the need
If you have to choose, just go with however is willing to faction up after killing many dragons for keys to this zone. Majority of my guild just gave up on dragon faction so nobody wanted the quest pieces.
now, what your talking about is pharming klandicar, who also drops they key piece everytime, but if you want to go the no faction way, just find a brave mage who wont **** their pants running down to zlandi's lair in DN to CoH everyone, or start praying that those other high end velious mobs drop the shards.
