Rogue Soloing help.

[Merekai]

Was a new to the server untwinked rogue when I first started myself. Everything Cecily has said is spot on. If I couldn't find a group to join or people to join one I tried to start up, I would go play my lower level druid for a fun time. If you stick with the rogue and want to retain the classic experience, do what I did and don't buy a epic MQ that so many people are selling. Do the quest yourself when you're of level!

Making Slow poison will help you a lot soloing also.

All components sold in West Karana but may be a bit pricey.

Naw. Spine Break. Root + 50% slow. What you linked is snare.

if you do it just right you can swing behind the mob real fast and backstab it while tanking.

duoing on a rog is almost effortless and fast xp, its also really fun too. i grouped with a fungi ranger on my rog in loio and it was insane xp. or u can find a druid and they can snare/flamelick while u BS them down, necro can fear/snare while u BS them down. a fungi tank works well too. rogs are super fun to play.

everyone loves having a rogue around, even if you arent going to be on for a long time it shouldnt be hard for you to get someone to group with

If you are used to playing a rogue in other mmorpgs (as I am), you should know that here rogues are designed in a way that they lack utility. You'll never really get any of the tricks that give rogues CC or the ability to lose aggro mid-fight like you would get in WOW.

You may want to consider either a Bard or a Monk, and both are much better soloers that are a bit cheaper to gear. Bards at lower levels melee, but have the widest variety of song types that make them extremely versatile. Monks are more a brawler style fighter, can take hits but not like a tank, but more important for you, can feign death, which is how they wipe aggro during a fight. Both classes feel rather trickster-like to me.

No wonder you do not like rogues in EQ. You never learned about evade

As a rogue in his mid 30s it is a challenge to believe this.

Especially when there's 7 other rogues around also LFG, and groups takes the twinked/epic'd ones.
