24's are very boring, you destroy most of the legit 20's and you dont even need to have bis gear yourself. Not worth losing tunic of westfall over, just re-roll another rogue and lvl to 24 in a few hours and try it out with him.
The only thing that sucks about gearing up a bis 24 rogue is the gnomer runs. The rings from there are bis, they dont always drop, and when they do you have to hope they are the right kind like of the monkey, tiger, or agility. Also the wrist sucks because it drops off a rare spawn, and drops in different types liek the rings, and best stat giving ranged weapon also drops from that same mob. If you want a belt that gives the most agility youll have to do a bunch of stv quests ( its a green belt ilvl 29or something i dno).
comparing a bis 19 rogue to a bis 24 rogue------19 rogue is easier but much more expensive due to cost of shadowfangs, but 24 rogue takes alot of time to get the right items. also petrospill leggings are kind of rare and expensive.

Bis imo, but some peaple may switch the tunic with boa chest and replace ellos band with a 2nd argas. Also feet of the lynx with cobrahns maybe, depending if they want more crit. Neither build has been proven better yet, but the popular belief is that the extra hit rating gained from the boa chest adds more dps thru white hits than the tunic does thru crit/attack power.

(theres auctually quite a few different builds imo, depending on if you want to be hit capped, or MAX ap, or have more stamana)
A 24 rogues gameplay changes alot from a rogue in the 19 bracket. In the 24 bracket you can easily match the opness of a lvl 19 hunter, if not surpass it. With ambushes well over 1k, and vanish 24 rogues are very strong. The need for more stamana becomes less important and attack power becomes most important imo, because if you stack enough ap you can 1-2 hit almost everyone, and then gtfo of there with vanish if you get into trouble.
I linked the chardevs because by looking at them you could judge how much work goes into either one, and which one appeals to you the most. Sorry about the huge ass post.
