CMAN's and Rogue Guild Skills

[grapedog]

For a picking/ambushing(sword/board) rogue, whats a good combination of CMAN's and rogue skills.

Also, i see that I can have 154 ranks total in the rogues guild...thats means I can master 2 skills and partially work on a third it would seem.

Right now I'm working on Sweep and Lock Mastery, but I am not averse to picking the occasional pocket. There are a lot of cool skills to chose from...and I'm definitely going the LM route...but I'm not sure what else to skill up in. Rouge Gambits seems cool, and useful for pick pocketing and as a fun side talent to just play with. Cheap-shots is pretty nifty and seems to have a bunch of tricks you can use for multiple situations, but like Stun Maneuvers there is a CMAN to replace it.

I haven't found a lot of CMAN's that seem really worthwhile for the point cost...except so far mobility(the one that auto-stands you), though I could see stun maneuvers being useful.

Can I remove a skill? I have 9 ranks in Sweep, 1 in subdue and 1 in cheap-shots I think. Obviously I could get more ranks in other skills by dumping those ultimately...if I can figure out how.

Anyhow, just looking for some good advice on what to pickup or drop.

Yes you can remove your guild ranks its in the GLD MENU list of commands.

As far as common decision Lock Mastery and Gambits are the two most actively useful Guild Skills thanks to the CMAN replacements as you commented on.

Which is why its the skill with the least amount of ranks worked in it for me (9 ranks).

I only mastered it because I wanted to master all the skills in the guild. Of course, Lock Mastery is proving to be a giant pain in the ass in that particular area, if anyone has hordes of plated, vialled, etc, boxes.
