What drives a poor reputation for the Rogue class?

That's what's awesome about the new Swashbuckler! Their Panache (a) uses your Dex to set the Goad DC instead of Cha, and (b) instead of requiring you to give up your entire action, you just give up 1d6 of your SA, so even if it fails you still did 90% of what you'd normally do that turn. And whether or not you successfully impose the disadvantage buff to your entire party, you can still walk away from them without burning your BA thanks to Fancy Footwork (or just impose it from range.)

It only lasts a round instead of a minute, but you can reapply it at-will and there is no early cancellation due to range or when your allies attack it.

(EDIT: Granted, the above all depends on the Swashbuckler not having gotten the axe from the PHB in favor of the Soulknife...)
