Help with my rogue?

[Erez]

Hello all,

I am looking for some assistance with my rogue before the 30 day limit is over. As it is right now the rogue is super fun to play. hiding and ambushing is probably the most fun I have had in a while. With that said, my rogues DS is horrid. Now I know that my stats are not set for maximum benefit but my plan is to get to cap so I mix maxed for 100. My rogue will end up a locksmith at the highest levels once it can pick OTF boxes and such. But till then, I do not want to keep dying when my spells drop.

Any help with training would be super helpful! Thank you.

I use a Buckler as my shield and I hope to put her in FGB soon.

Thank you again!

Unfortunately getting caught in the open after an ambush when you are in RT is one of the biggest challenges of a rogue. Right now looking at her, she is a sort of picking rogue that hunts, and if that is what you want, just know you will either die some or have to under hunt some. Why is she tripled in disarm but only doubled in pick? If you do not try to pick over your head then you should never have an issue seeing traps if you are only doubled in disarm, pick, and perception, and if you learn the first 4 elemental spells then you can be 2X in picking skills until mid 60's before you will not be able to pick everything you hunt.

Just curious, did you run the little script to see if a buckler is the best shield size for you? It seems every time I do it for my alts that use a shield, it comes up medium so that is something to think on as well.

I would think bring disarm back to 2X and put it into armor and shield, but make sure that you are fully trained in terms of RT and maneuver for the armor you wear. Both of those things will greatly improve your ability to survive,
