Rogue life

[Troxx]

If I ever make a rogue - it will be a dwarf.

I enjoyed Barbarian, because really high starting strength and stamina, and fashion quest doesn't matter because dark elf mask.

You can still only equip a dress if your race is Human, Dark Elf, or Gnome. The rest of the Rogue races cannot equip them.

Welp,

Rogue is the best dps in the game atm, so groups and guilds always need them. They are the second easiest first melee class to start out with next to iksar monk.. Epic is easy as hell.

My twink rogue is a blast to play. Got a little bit slow levels 32-37 when it started to get difficult to solo... but now that I have level 46 and epic, I can solo easily, and in group my DPS is insane. A lot of fun.

My next character will be a Rogue and probably be human since my main and only character on Live was a human Rogue. Nice thing about Rogue is pierce is mainly the only main weapon skill you will want to use.

The only downfall for Rogue on P99 is there is some skills that are looked over or skipped such as Hand to Hand, Pick Pocket, Safe Fall, Apply Poison, Make Poison and Instill Doubt.

You can try and train Pick Pocket if you solo but try doing it in a group and everyone will be bitchin up a storm.

If you raise it early on, like putting it in your evade macro, and let your group know you're doing it.. Ask if it's cool, maybe. Most people don't have a problem with it. When real gems are on the loot table, people usually do. Get 200 by 40 for epic and leave it alone after.

Not like you can steal from anything on this server. Skill got over nerfed incorrectly to humanoid only and with a great deal of pleading, giants too.

1) Rogue DPS is pretty insane. If you've only ever played casters and hybrids before it will blow your mind to watch the combat spam you generate.

2) Rogue race is not that important. To illustrate: I've got a non-epic Gnome Rogue twink with inexpensive EC tunnel gear and can cap STR with buffs. Barb or Dwarf with points in STA to min/max (boring). Human, Wood Elf or Gnome for style. Dark Elf to flummox people and truly piss off min/maxers you encounter.

3) Rogues are a nice laid back grouping class. You feel like you're always contributing highly to the group (and you are) despite not having to do much compared to most other classes.

4) Rogues are very easy to twink (STR gear is cheap and abundant) and have the easiest Epic.

5) You can never have enough Rogues in a group or raid. They stack in this regard better than any other class.

6) Do not roll a Rogue with the intention of fear kite duoing with a Necro or Druid. Just trust me. Rog/Shm, Rog/Pal and even Rog/Clr are all good duos, however.

Rog/Brd an amazing outdoor duo. Perma snared and feared mobs while being perma hasted? Don't mind if I do.

If I make a second Rogue (Naggy/Vox alt probably), it'll be a Gnome. Wall hacks and fashion quest robes are great, and stats are easy. The only time I ever regret being short is when I'm naked, out of endurance, and hungry, while trying to get out of ToV at LTK.

I made a rogue, gnome at that! I probably should have done all stamina at the start, but man my strength was so low... I ended up mixing str and sta so I started with 80 and 80.

So far the gnome is fun, made a female, love how silly she looks when running, and that huge helm with tiny skinny arms and legs. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I am going to try to work the rogue epic without buying it, not sure how hard it is etc.

Also already used wall vision when investigating Freeport tunnels, I could view what NPCs were on the other side of the wall when in the building areas underneath.

My favorite thing about being so small is how much easier it is to target mobs and move around them etc.

Anyway, hoping this character can be my melee alt when I get tired of playing my casters!

1. Half str, half sta is fine, starting stats barely matter at all in the long run as a rogue.

2. Epic is harder than it used to be but it's still by far one of the easiest epics.

3. Gnomes are ugly you chose wrong.
