Run Speed is also important since it raises your movement greatly while sneaking. Usually you want to get Offensive or Utility AA’s first. Level this up a bit if you plan to do your 1.0 Epic.ĪA Recommendations Rogues are nice because they only need a couple hundred AA to have their core offensive abilities. Pick Pocket – Rogues can “steal” platinum and non-magic items from NPC’s. Pick Lock and Disarm Trap – Rogues can Pick Lock and Disarm Traps Once you get Shroud of Stealth AA in Planes of Power, it allows you to be invisible to see invis mobs as well. Sneak/Hide Combination – Using both of these skills simultaneously allows you to move around unseen to both undead and regular mobs at the same time. Hide – This allows you to be invisible as long as you don’t move This is good for doing certain quest turn-ins or interacting with merchants.
Sneaking behind a mob also allows you to con “indifferent” to NPC’s who may not normally interact with you. It lowers your movement speed but +Run Speed buffs and AA can counteract this. Sneak – This skill allows you to walk behind mobs invisible, even if they are see invis. In order to Backstab you need to be behind the mob. You can press Hide during while attacking to lower your aggro.īackstab – This is your main damage skill. With that said, Rogues do have the ability to “Evade” during combat. Generally rogues don’t have aggro issues when your tank has good aggro/gear. For off-hand, Rogue can use any type of weapon, typically it’s best to go with whatever has the best ratio. The higher the damage of the weapon the more damage Backstab does, but keep ratio in mind as well. Once “Attack” becomes a mod, you’ll also want to get to the attack cap from gear, which is 250.Īs a Rogue you’ll always want to have a dagger in your mainhand for your Backstab skill. Rogues can never tank well at any point in the game so don’t worry about HP, Stamina, or AC too much, just keep them up as needed. Get to 200 Strength ASAP as that is the soft cap to maximize backstab damage. Strength – Increases your Attack and encumbrance limit Dexterity – Increases proc chance/accuracy Stamina – Increases HP Agility – Increases Avoidance AC (not super effective until Heroic, but isn’t useless either)Īlways prioritize Strength and Dexterity. Once you begin to get Luclin/PoP raid gear they are generally maxed by default from gear and/or buffs. Stats are more meaningful in early EQ because they don’t max out right away. Rogues also have the ability to change into many races. Unfortunately they have the longest 2.0 Epic, although the payoff on it is huge. Rogues also have a fairly easy 1.0 Epic on TLP servers so get it ASAP in Kunark era.
Rogues scale well with buffs and during Planes of Power get the AA Shroud of Stealth, which allows their Sneak/Hide combo to make them invisible to almost every mob in the game (For example, it doesn’t work against Trakanon). Rogues damage starts off incredibly low in Classic but gets better and better all the way up until Omens of War at which point they do huge amounts of damage and compete for top dps in the game. This guide covers Rogue basics up to the Omens of War expansion.
