I don’t think Pirate = Rogue but there are definitely pirates that are Rogues. I remember a big part of the Rogue order hall was pirates during Legion.

I’m there right now on my alt atm. I have noticed a Pirate theme among rogues down there

I thought we knew that already. Who else would be popping sheeps and framing innocent dps?

Pirates tread the line of either being a Warrior or Rogue. Proof? Hearthstone.
Pirate decks are now archetypal to these two classes.

Outlaw rogues are pirates.

Thematically they can have similarities such as being perceived as scoundrels, cut throats and outlaws.

Not really a valid source when it’s the same company literally using characters from wow…
Just feels off. Warriors are clad in armor. Pirates are certainly an agility class, but still don’t feel like rogues. For one it makes no sense. Pirates aren’t quiet, stealthy, hide in the shadows like rogues or assassins.
Giving them stealth makes no sense.
I miss combat rogue.

Outlaw rogue became a Pirate style thing in Legion and remains since then.
Outlaw is the pirate spec. Combat was more of a berzerker sort of thing.

Point well taken.
Rogues can be seen as assassins, thugs, cutthroats, and yes; pirates. Doesn’t mean every pirate is a rogue though, or that every outlaw rogue is a pirate.
Stop looking at my eyepatch.
Squares are circles!

Or highwaymen. They really more evoke the highwayman to my mind.

I believe that Outlaw Rogues touch on the pirate theme! I don’t think that all pirates are rogues … some are mages, warlocks, and warriors (around Booty Bay area, for example). So I would say that one is neither required nor sufficient to assume the other, but the combination is possible!
Hahaha you’ve brought back some great TFS memories

What? It is precisely because Blizzard is essentially reusing the assets that is a good source. They realize the line between a warrior/rogue and a pirate is blurry. That is not exactly either of these two but a weird hybrid of both.
