I will use smilies to express my rage.

Yeah.  That meant Oak was just joking, you know the whole thing you were just doing...

Forget it, here's a cat with a pineapple helmet.

Yeah apparently you have spent too much time with sardine.  I wish your IQ luck in surviving that.

This has nothing to do with anything.

Pretty much this, although I'll disagree with zerging being the province of Str-based rogues.


My own rogue is a Dex-based halfling.

I looked into going Str-based when the rogue forums erupted with how all Dex-based rogues were gimped. I really did. I'd never felt gimped, but I figured if everyone was jumping on the bandwagon, there had to be a reason.

And then I realized that being 3 points of damage per hit behind a Str-based halfling was more than worth the trade-off when I can actually sustain my to-hit score, have a working Assassinate DC, don't require 3-4 gear swaps to go 100% on heal scrolls ( seriously, what's the point of an " Oh SHIT!!! " button, if you need 3-4 swaps before you can push it? " ), be a much more well-rounded character in general, and yet still have to be careful and run -50% threat at all times or I'll pull agro now.

It's seriously not that hard.

Don't dump Str. Don't dump Con. And don't negelect to take PA on a melee rogue.



That's the end of it.

I haven't had that problem since Vale and Rad IIs were introduced.

Different strokes, I guess.

Bandy this thread is a lost cause. Of those posting alot in this thread Epoch knows the most and he doesnt care to know any more than he already does. The rest are either contrarians who bring every thread they post in down to a bitch fight or their cheerleaders who prop them up. SOme people just dont realize that just because you run with someone everyday you dont have to hold every opinion they do or blow smoke up their ass to help prop up their credability.

Oh look, it's a mealy-mouthed pussy who's incapable of actually saying what he means.  How cute! 

I've recently rolled a rogue, like I said, so I'm pretty interested in how the best rogues get their rogue on.  So feel free to hush until one of the big boys addresses you.

Rad II can't be used until lvl 12 afaik.

Ah, well that would be nice to have, but it isn't really the case for most of us, so my point kinda stands Nor does GS mean anything at all for most of a first life rogue. This is a bit of an apples and oranges thing.

GS is level 8 for some of us that have been playing when shroud first released.

Versatility.

Scroll healing, very good trash dps (inb4 the wizard does that), Wrack construct (-10/20/30% fort reduction for constructs for the whole raid).

Oh and traps, should you want to do raids such as eVoN5, VoD. Maybe it's even useful for the magefire cannon, but I did not run House C quests so far.
