I haven't tried much hybrid char's to mix up str/int but... Having a sub makes you need to farm :wink:, the warrior/rogue | rogue/warrior is good for full str's, for healing i bet on wizard/cleric...

Some points in the bard mastery, for "Moving March" can help you enhance your walking speed if you play solo a lot. That extra mobility might come in handy if you are hunting using a crossbow. With "Crossbow Extreme" activated you will want to stay away from mobs.

Keep in mind the low level and the differing environment in CSRO, etc. ....

1. How's the rogue.

- Party playing: Very versatile class, that can fit nicely into most parties. What I end up doing depends on the needs of the party. When theres damage needed I use my crossbow, when theres tanking needed I use daggers. The use of "Dagger Desperate" or "Crossbow Extreme" depends on the enemies and the parties healing and buffing capabilities.

- Solo playing: The crossbow completely destroys normal non party enemies my level or 4-5 levels above. On a good spot with no party monsters spawning I can just switch between "Power Shot" and "Long Shot" while either one of them cools down. What I can't do are party mobs my lvl or even slightly below and giants (not even with zerk =/).

- Jobbing: Some people use rogues with their invisibility to do 5* trades. So while grinding you sometimes see a shadow moving about and then suddenly a whole bunch of NPC thieves spawning out of nowhere. I doubt however that this will work too well on the more populated ISRO servers

2. SP

I use a small gap to be able to get my (two levels behind) skills right away when I level.

Just a small paragraph, you can make a sub whenever you want, just don't forget you got mastery points to spend, 2 each lvl, this allows you to have 2 classes at a good high lvl or even more but with lower lvl's, just farm a bit for that :wink:

well i want to juss play with my rogue masteries for now. if you get two points then one is for rogue and the other is for a sub??

if this is right then can i just keep all these points i get so i can put points in sub later on instead of right away??....im really not in the mood for sp farming as i juss finished farming on my chinese....

oh and just for the sp... how much of a gap do you leave..well if you have just rogue mastery?? and is it sufficient?

question

Post by jdouma1992 »

is it possible to just only do daggers with rogue, or is it better to combine the 2 weapons, and so is it better to combine rogue with cleric or with warrior, because i am thinking of only doing daggers, so do you think i should add some healing spells with my daggers, or add my damage with warrior?

Rogues -> Full str
Warriors?-> Full str
Match?, seems so...

Still bard/cleric seems nice options to use, but don't forget, you'll need 1 more weapon, well 2 in cleric since you use a shield :), but don't forget you're low in mp and you can't regenerate well it pots, mp will become gold to you ;p

on Csro I had Daggers/ cleric but I don't know if pure rogue dagger/xbow is better. I think I might do that.

I just know that if we have mastery points to spend, i will spend them as long as i have sp, so i'll be a full rogue with 1 sub as near as i can with sp ^^

yeah i was looking for sub classes to what to do best for my rogue, and i have not figured it out either, im thinking bard, for te buffs, because you can do cleric but it wont help that much. and warrior just doesnt work well i think it tis skills and rogue skills. So what would than be better bard, or cleric?

I was readin warrior subclass, and they made a VERY good point, if your party healer dies than you want to be able to revive or heal them right? well you will ned cleric for that, and why would rogues need speed buffs from bard, we have speed bufs ourself??? so whats the poitn. what do you guys think of this?

The point of getting the bards speed buff is, that it lasts a lot longer. The rogues skill gives you a massive boost over 15 seconds, helping you either quickly get away from something (giant spawning out of the blue) or to something (PVP enemy or a party member in despair). After that you will have to wait two minutes until you can use it again. Also it's only available using daggers, while the bards buff stays, no matter what.

Biscuit, would you say the dagger rogue is good later on in the game? Because right now, I'm level 13 and it's not all that great...in my opinion...I would like to stay with it but I'm having second thoughts on changing my char.

In the end it was like this for me:

- Soloing: Crossbow (+crossbow extreme), because with a bit of luck even mobs five levels higher than me (huns) died before getting their hits in. I only took daggers when soloin, when i knew that I needed the hp and that my potions would save me. In iSRO this might even me a more viable option since the pot delay is only half cSROs.
- Party with a good tank and enough damage dealers: Daggers
- Party with enough tanks: Crossbow
- Party without a good tank: Warrior Submastery
- PVP: I only PVPed a warrior in my 2Xs, but the daggers where a good option then.

Concerning your problem, I would attribute it in parts to the fact, that there isn't really a market for euro items after the launch and good items with nice % on damage and crits are of the essence for rogues. So you might not have the optimal gear right now, meaning you might have problems finding daggers in between the range of lvl 8 to 16. I had to use level 32 daggers from the NPC, and they sucked, because there was almost no market for euro items in cSRO.

I have my rogue lvl 21, and bard lvl 11 for the speed, and lvl 10 for only rebirth, no need in healing, but i am wondering what skills for warrior?, and guys dont stress to much about sub, all your best skills are oyu main, and you just use sub for those few extra skills like rebirth, to help your party when you priestdies, or moving march(bard) to make you run faster

What about thieving... I imagine that rogue stealth skills should be excellent to observe and eventually surprise traders (and their hunters, if they exist) with the new triangular conflict rules, right?

I haven't yet been able to play since Euro update (tech issues are stopping me by the moment) but I really can't think better coupling than rogue-thief... though guess it could also be used as scout in a trading party.
