With the fixskills coming soon, I've decided I want to explore a new avenue for my Rogue. I want to drop sword/board and either go with Voln Fu or Archery, but not both. This character is a utility who absolutely must 3x in pick/disarm/perception, and must be capable of improving that.

Here's what I've got so far. I've been migrating from no picking whatsoever to what I want/need.

Any positive input would be appreciated.

I'm a fan of brawling. And with unarmed combat still on the drawing table, it could be fun. Fist-scythe and a hook knife a nice combo, so are dual sais.

I like the archery because its a great excuse to be 3x in perception which in turn aids in your picking. That and being able to shoot arrows from hiding without being revealed is really cool to see from a 3rd person perspective. Also, the ability to have a 10x flaring weapon just by having a 5x bow and master ebladed arrows (or a 6x bow and ebladed arrows) is relatively cheap.

Silent strike? Anyone know about it, how good it is?

[TheEschaton]

Silent strike is useless as an archer/hurler, as a sword-n-board rogue or any other melee form, its only real use is if you for some reason want to try and kill things in swarms and don't want to be caught out.

I just use a culling method in swarms to get one isolated in a different area. I rarely take on swarms by myself.

Are you going to put that icon in every post you make?

Yep that's a good one. Slapstick is great.
