Oh, I was not aware that this was not classic.

On live during this time frame I was also sneaking away from Sebilis with a small fortune in stolen gems (from blue diamonds on down).

Ya totally takes away from the aspect of being a rogue ... I mean what is the point of being a rogue when one of the main aspects is stealing and you can only maybe take a few pp and no items worth of value? Makes for more competition in the game ...

Yep, being so co-dependent, on live the only way I was able to get my BD resist gear for the little time I had to raid was by picking the blue diamonds from scarabs etc...very sad it has been neutered here

So much for classic.

As long as the casters and tanks are classic though ... seems like rogues were the half assed designed class from the beginning. Sense/disarm traps, poison skill ... Yes you can do poison but most of it is worthless ... only like 3 of them actually worth using.

I just dont understand why we get this "Quality of Life" change but we can't have non classic things like buff timers. Totally contradicts itself.

Agreed .. I think the main thing though is that they changed pick pocketing to humanoid creatures only.

Do you have any proof of this? First I've heard of it.

Interesting. That actually makes sense ^^ Kinda disturbing now to think of in what sort of pocket a giant beetle would hold its gems and how rogues would know of such a pocket and how to access it with any degree of stealth let alone while engaged in combat....

Which part? Pick pocketing from giants or able to steal gems?

Pyrocat 10-19-2015 04:00 PM
Ability to steal gems. Non-magic droppable items should be able to be pickpocketd.
