Rogue Subclass dilemma

Post by Clawdite »

Alright I know that I want rogue as my main mastery but I'm having trouble sorting out which subclass I want. If I'm going to Plvl it up to about 60 then I'm going to want to be able to party when it comes to that point, and Rogues aren't really welcomed into parties all that much. So I have to rely on a subclass. My options are

a) Cleric
b) Bard
c) Warrior

But I've also considered Warlock, however how do Warlocks cope in Euro Parties? I really cba solo'ing all the way from 60-90, it'll probably make me quit.

Rogue/bard will get the most parties since bards are quite rare, and most europeans have cleric as their sub. Also bard compliments rogue's skill quite well imo.

I have a Rogue/Cleric. At first, it was nice. My character was very good in CTF and PVP because I could use bless when needed and have RD and Holy Word on. Cleric is a nice sub. It compliments almost every build.

But now, I'm actually going Rogue/Bard. I changed my mind for a few reasons. A rogue is suppose to be stealthy. They aren't meant to be a tank. So even though cleric is nice, it's not really needed for this build. Also, it got really annoying moving slow while I was grinding, and with xbow extreme on, it was frustrating being mobbed. Even after switching, I still figured she'd be above average in PVP. She's got the range and the skills to keep other players away.

And bard would be better in parties anyway. Cleric is a very popular sub, so there will always be plenty of clerics. Another thing is that cleric skills use up a lot of MP, and since you're pure STR, the MP costs can be annoying.
