Ok... I know for sure that I want to make a rogue character. I want to have daggers, but I don't know if I should use x-bow or not... And with that I either want to have a bard or cleric secondary... Hopefully some advice from expert players will help...
How should I build my rogue character ?

Re: Rogue Character
depends on what you want out of your rogue.
Either way i prefer having xbows simply because it makes grinding AMAZINGLY fast. perhaps one the of the fastest. As for the rest, it depends on what you want.
Rogue/Bard = PvE specialist. Noise makes grinding a lot easier because you won't get mobbed, except by champs and/or giants, in which case you should be able to tank them anyway. Also, you can usually grind on mobs much higher lvl than you with DD/CE. I would recommend grinding solo with this build as noise will prevent normal pt monsters from mobbing you but wont save you from champs/giants including the PT champs/giants. Plus grinding on mobs 5-10 lvls higher than you means you won't need a pt to get some crazy fast exp. noise+speed+xbow=fast lvling.
Rogue/Cleric = Balanced? Not sure how i would describe this build. I have a rogue/cleric myself but i'm still farming him so i can't say for sure how it performs. the way i see it, just by looking at the skills, is it simply improves the survivability of your char. i wanted a rogue that didn't have to run back to the safe zone after every kill. also i wanted a rogue that could screw over all of the warlock builds out there. recovery division, holy spell, bless spell...all of the cleric buffs are there to help you tank a little better. **i'm not sure which buffs stay after you change weaps though**
Rogue/Warlock = Offensive. This build is all about the offense. It shines most brightly in 1v1 pvp. This is the one i was talking about in the rogue/cleric section. Basically the build is Debuff the $#!T out of them->sleep->DD->Prick. That can kill just about any build in 1 shot. when i say any i mean ANY. look up the rogue/warlock pvp vid and you'll see a sosun blader getting 1-2 hit by this build. You get kinda screwed by clerics (holy word) but you always have your rogue skills to fall back on.
The latter two builds grind slower since they don't have noise but they can always buy typhoon drugs to make up for the speed buff.

Re: Rogue Character
i forgot to mention warrior/rogue
not as familiar with that build. The way i see it its kinda like having a rogue char and a warrior char. i don't really see how one benefits from the other...i can see a lot of potential if you A. like farming and B. have skill/patience. With rogue/warrior i can see a pretty balanced build. xbow for grinding, 1h for party grind, and a potentially 5 weapon build for pvp. i can see something like CE->xbow attack (not sure which is the strongest)->2h->sprint assault->maddening->DA->stun->daggers(DD)->prick->etc.
i see a VERY versatile build in the warrior/rogue build. probably just takes a lot longer than other builds to farm and a lot more skill to pvp to its full potential. You can always just take 1-2 of the weap trees for warrior. i really want to see somebody make a 5 weap warrior/rogue and make a good PVP video. that would be SICK to watch.
