i love the rogue build. i want to know if a rogue can solo grind as well as party grind. the reason im chooing rogue is cause i like jobbing,fast trainign and power lvling. having these in mind, please tell me if i should go a pure int chinese instead of rogue or stick with rogue. thanks. and also plz answer my grinding question.

much thanx. revo

ps. i forgot to include that i will get power farming (about 250k sp if everything goes smoothly. its all free :]) and i will b powerlvled to at least 40. idk if this affects opinions but just makin sure.

Rogues are one of the best solo grinders in the game (and they KS like mofos). Using a crossbow, they have the longest range and can 1 or 2 hit any normal monster or champion with Long Shot and Blast Shot. Make sure to stay away from party mobs, or fight them with Crossbow Extreme turned off.

Rogues can grind pretty well solo, just be careful with champion pt or giant pt mobs if XE/DD is turned on.

can a rogue tank a giant or party when XE/DD is not turned on?

You can die if you are grinding with daggers, if you are using xbow you can tank giants without problems, kd/kb skills give you enough time to cure yourself.

I've had no problems tanking a giant of similar/same lvl solo with daggers with DD turned off

i got problems now with rock mountain i die so easy using crossbow.. i used to love build but got so boring dieing and dieing so i gave up and am currently farming a chinese character


EDIT--- Im lvl 72

O RLY?

2 words: Party play

im a lv 60 xbow and i solo on the feather masks and black eagles fine... i can even fight the goats :S

if you got that high and havent learned how to avoid monsters... quit botting/plvled

i was party playing alright.. i stayed out of the way and let chinese players attack and had noise on... but still got owned to many times to where i lost exp..


EDIT: no i didnt bot to 72 i leveled my self with little help from friends

rogue can solo really well, as well as party well, in a party before lvl 40 you wanan go for crossbow but after 40 cross bow is worthless in party, daggers are really usefull if you can get a wrrior buff you can turn desperate daggers and still have some tanking power, the fact you deal more dmg then anyone can let you keep agro on something plus the aoe posion is alot of agro aswell, you're not a tank but if you do the posion trap near the tanks you can posion a whole lure, then just go crazy on the dmg dealing, keep your posion imbue on for some reason it works on posion trap making sure that nothing will not get posioned, plus on a party giant you can really help take it down, try to stand behind it though unless its like the nacho's that have 360 degree aoe then it doens't matter wehre you stand, but if possible stay out of the aoe unless it can't be helped if you got the warrior buff it doesn't matter but if you have to go with out you gota be more careful. Some argue a warlock is better but its nice if you got both, i've been saved as a cleric before by a vindiction using her posion trap, because the mobs will be alot less likly to go towards teh cleric, even if they leave the posion they are still posioned getting agro at each tick and i've seen them turn back to the rogue because of it, i've also been a rogue and tried to play like this, and it works.

EDIT: rogue/bards are THE BEST solo build IN THE GAME
i gring on bone soldiers and nyia guards (lv 71 and 73 respectively) with my lv 65 Xbow/bard.. u just dont get hit in the first place. Xbows have an amazing 18M rage + 7M boinus range u gain from long shot/distance shot = 25M attack range!!! u can kill anything (which is not a giant or a party) b4 it even comes close to u
