What drives a poor reputation for the Rogue class?

[Psyren]

I am saying they are hardy enough that in dire times they can step up to the plate and get smacked around for the team.

Dire indeed.

Who would you put?

Not directed at me but I think 2014 Monk is worse off. Ranger though gets a far worse rap than it should, even using the crappy 2014 features their spells and the rest of their chassis make up for it imo, and they like rogues get way more to do in the other two pillars. (Well, one of the others at least.)
