For Rogue you got two options you can't go wrong with:

Cleric or Bard. I like to break it down in the weapon choice you chose within that Rogue.

CrossBow - Bard (Very good for leveling)

Daggers - Cleric (Very good at surviving)

Yes, it's called holding clamor and it casts faster than heaven flash, it doesn't go away when you switch weapons

I'd vote bard because as a full str recovery division it's almost useless <.<

Why in the world would you need bard and xbow.
You can pull monsters to YOU instead of walking to them.

Cleric is the way to go. Recovery division is an amazing skill for pure str.

Speed is NOT better then healing.

Let me break it down why Cleric is better then Bards as a subclass.

Useful Skills that stay with Weapon Change.

Bard-moving march-Speed increase
Bard-Noise-general mobs dont attack first.
Holding clamor?Not too sure about its effects ill read up on it and post its effeciency.
-----------------------------------------
Cleric-Recovery division=Autopot every 4-5 sec(not counting ur potions) that beats the hell out of 15 Sec u would get with Bard.
Cleric-Bless-Super mag-phy def increase for 45 sec.Godmode.
Cleric-Holy Word-Needed to become Immune to most status effects.
Cleric-Healing Cycle-16 sec continious healing,useful for pvp and Pve against Giants/Party mobs.
Cleric-Heaven Flash-Binds mobs or players for 10 sec so they cant move.

Just look at the quantity and quality of each sublclass in terms of skills,and know that when really needed u can get speed from a speedpotion u can buy.

If you choose bard please share why its superior,cause to me Bard is the lazy-man's choice for mediocre performance.
