Rogues in identity crisis?

#1
I took a break from CH for over a year and recently began playing it again.

Rogues no longer seem to be the vaunted damage dealers they used to be when compared to other classes. Boss kills tend to go to rangers or mages the majority of the time, (at least when I am in the lock group where I can see who got the kill).
I know gear and build play a significant role, so I am curious if my observations are correct here.

Additionally, it seems like more and more bosses and mobs are built in such a way that rogues are pretty ineffective against them (Proteus seems to be an extreme example of this).
All of this has had the impact (relative to other classes) of having nerfed rogues rather significantly.
As a result, I find it much less enjoyable to play as a rogue.

Are my observations fairly accurate, or am I off base?

Aside from shadow strike at some bosses, rogues are still the same. Proteus is different because of the running you have to do or have your attack suffer. Mages do get kills but if they're getting more kills than rogues most the time then they have a horrible gear issue

Since when do mages get boss kills excluding event? If that's happening on your server then your rogues are doing something really wrong.
Their rogues and rangers must be doing sonething really wrong lol

Ice mages usually get kill on 205 and 210 EDL, sometimes even on 215 if the ice mage gear is really good compared to a rogue/ranger. Even banebrands are mage kills for us.

Not sure if Kril is talking about Hrung/Mord/Necro/Proteus/Gelebron. Hardly ever seen a mage kill, im sure it happens once in awhile in some server or the other given the infinite variable of circumstances. Even a dps warrior or druid can get a raid boss kill, but those bosses are typically a rogue or ranger kill.

I am from Gwydion and other then legacies and banes I don't really see any mage kills. But prot, gele and necro are usually ranger and mord and hrung usually go to rogues but it can vary between ranger and rogue on most bosses besides prot.
