Considering Rogue, couple of questions.

As long as you stay out of line of sight, nothing sees sneak.

Just want to add to this thread...

Rogue is the ultimate laid back chill class. You have three responsibilities max and never all at once. DPS, Corpse Drag & lockpicking. You want to AFK, just sneak hide and go do your business. drinking habits? not a problem, get behind the mob and just spam your backstab & evade key

evade macro
/pause 2, /attack off
/pause 2, /doability # (hide)
/attack on

If you're on a raid and the tank just isnt the best, TURN OFF ATTACK for a few seconds. Trust me, letting the tank get agro vs you dieing is day and night. Managing agro because you do so much dps is a pretty awesome feeling.

Yea it’s a fine class when supported by a small team (or raid). Left to it’s lonesome it’s the worst solo class besides maybe a cleric using non-undead nukes. Efficient rogue solo is fighting low level old world blues with great gear. If you have a schedule that allows for grouping then it’s a fantastic and easy to play melee class.

I had a rogue on live. The cloak and dagger game is fun but stressful. Your plan b if something sees through sneak is to cap out, possibly root net, or die and get a loc.

Thanks for the replies everyone, really appreciate the honesty.

Truth be told I am now considering Ranger as a similar themed but slightly more soloable class. There will be times where it's necessary as I don't have an extensive network of friends, sometimes play at weird hours, and sometimes need to AFK for responsibilites IRL.

Plus I saw how friggin' awesome wood elves look in a set of crystal chitin armor. xD

So rangers are fun. But definitely aren't great at dungeon diving. You will be more an outdoor cat than indoor cat. So that's a change from your original concept.

If you wanna dungeon dive and need to AFK a lot, SK or Monk might be good as well. Feign Death does wonders for impromptu AFKs, both can get around dungeons reasonably well (advantage SK), and both can solo OK.

Ah yeah that is true. I figured sneak + superior camo would help with that.

I tried Monk for a bit and didn't really like the weight micromanagement thing too much. SK does sound interesting though! Hmm...

Prolly the wrong forum but wondering, does this spell for SKs work the same way as the necro skeleton illusion? Like could I pick a neutral race and use it to get into evil cities with it later?

If so I am considering going with an Iksar SK.

I remember a lot of terror on live as a rogue, having to con everything because there was always a tiny chance your Hide would be seen through. It's not failed me once in 53 levels on Blue, making Lower Guk a much less exciting, and less frustrating, place.

That’s great to know [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ! Might just make a rogue if sneak is what was promised, lol.
