The problem is you're not factoring in that barbs (and fighters, monks, paladins, rangers, artificers...) all get 2 attacks. That's like. The point lol.

Also, you're saying "from safety" like it's a merit to the rogue. One of my complaints about rogue is exactly that - they do their little sneak attack business, and then scram. Well the rest of the party is just sitting there, getting attacked. Those attacks don't just disappear cause the rogue isn't in range - they get directed at someone else. Barb deals better damage AND can take a beating. That's two things. The rogue does one.

I'm not setting out to convince you of anything, so if you enjoy rogues, by all means, continue to do just that. I just, yah know. Won't agree lol.
