The things Rogues actually do
Hi all,
I do not have a rogue, and I'm wondering what do they actually do with their time in EQ. Here are my (mis)conceptions. Kindly educate me.
- Stab stuff
- Can't tank past level 20'ish, even with great gear (and then only maybe to level 50)
- Literally assassinate level <=46 humanoids once they're level 60 (but can they loot those instakill corpses?)
- Use some kind of auto-attack-off-then-hide hotbutton macro to lower their threat? (Does this work?)
- Scout dungeons (and planes?)
- Only 1 or 2 mobs in the whole game can see through their sneak+hide (lguk assassin?)
- Drag corpses, except in Velious where somehow corpse dragging results in aggro
- Acquire a 40% epic haste weapon relatively cheaply / easily compared to, say, the warrior or mage epics
- Buy and sell from/to KOS merchants
- Pickpocket NPCs during fights (which reduces loot flow to rest of group, right?)
- Probably never use poisons because they're expensive garbage
- Typically have to juggle, bard-style, a primary weapon with a backstab weapon
- Explore most dungeons without fear!
- Die alone if they're in trouble, like warriors, rangers, pallies, but unlike bards and FD classes.
