THE UNOFFICIAL ROGUE THREAD

Post what you think about this class here - What will you choose as your primary and secondary masteries etc.

I know that you'll be more succesful going pure than hybrid, but how cool would a Rogue/Warlock build be..

Rogues are fun but fragile if you use the damage buff. Most things can two hit you even with full str. I don't see any point really in going hybrid? I like warrior as secondary so you can switch and tank if you need to. You could go cleric for the passives, but really if you have your buff on, the extra def won't matter that much.

i REALLY want to go rogue because of the stealth and dagger, but i can not decide WHAT so ever what sub class i should do, and if i do rogue, should i do poison?

you dont get two hit by stuff if u have the dmg buff on...
maybe in pvp, but definately not grinding

I say create a bard or a cleric that way you always have access to a party without being left out; everyone wants healing and those buffs. :wink:

rogues suck at partys, no need for one and cant protect cleric and bard well cuz they have no taunts.

imagine you are hitting a party mob and then the cleric heals you, the mob runs after the cleric and you cant do anything about it blahhhhh.

cleric dies you get mobbed then you die.

and if warriors want in the pt you're prob out since youre only there for more dmg, and wizzies are better at that than you.

That's exactly what I find myself doing sometimes: Beating on a mob that attacks the parties cleric with my bee sting like damage from individual hits (daggers) that can't seem to get me the monsters attention. Guess what made me use my remaining free masteries for warrior yesterday.

I've posted here some of the majors rogues disadvantages, no class is perfect, and for pvp might be the best if you know how to use it, but for parties?, more useful as a bard then a rogue lol

i laughed out loud at "bee sting like damage"

and its soooo true, daggers feel pathetic.

i tried rogue and dunno all that seemed fun about it was making masks (i guess this is simmilar to autumn wave series at bow except its fun). but i was only lv20 so yeah maybe could get better. not many rogues though in csro. when i read about rogue i was like :shock:

zomg i want that, but when i tried it was nothing like i thought it was. i love range shot but rogue crossbow sucks imo.

Roques imbue is poison so it's not a subclass, I played Csro and my subclass was cleric so at the point I almost die I quickheal myself and kill the mob
(I was dagger btw)

+1

But i know he didn't mean it. xbow should be better in later game. So you can dagger to begin with as you'll level faster with all the hits (neither mastery will have much skills) and then later on use xbows knockdown and longrange to fight.
