Pulls with a bow.

While leveling I often pulled when the KC monks are burnt out, lazy or for some other reason. Obviously this isn't the best min/max situation with the rogue pulling but you can at least pull mobs out of the moat at a long distance where a monk can't.

This is the one thing I hate doing on my rogue...haha. admitted guilty! I'll do anything else for you though! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So the difference between a good rogue and a bad rogue is one who can manage the push and not eat enrages... #HowDidIPlayThisSh!tForSoLong

I will concede that EQ seems to attract worse players than any other MMO I have ever played...

Players are restricted by the contraints of the game, granted rogues are simple to play but that's not the players fault.

I don't think this game attracts any worse players than any other game tbh. All games have "bads" if that's what you want to call them.

I never said good. I said non-lazy. Or in another word non-bad. I never qualified what good was.

Give the tank about ten seconds to get agro, turn on auto attack and hit backstab on cooldown. Maybe throw an evade in if you feel saucy. Am I missing something here?

It really blows my mind how complicated people try to make this game sound. There is nothing special about classic EQ that a well trained Chimpanzee could not master. I guess you need to hit Inner Flame also

Yeah but you lose a lot of exp when you die, doe.

Can't beat classicly bad pathing for causing trains and deaths on a given XP session, great thing about a rogue is either hitting hide if not on an aggro list or at least being at the back of the hate list and being able to get out of there <3

good rogues wear good resist gear and get FULL buffed EVERY time

Evade on cool down everytime is what you're missing, good sir.

I have a 55 iksar epic monk and 56 epic rogue. I have been itching to return to p99 on one but can’t decide. The monk seems more powerful solo certainly, but the rogue seems more chill and more desired in raids. I also have some moderate gear such as fungi and FBSS. Anyone have any recommendation?

I was pulling and tanking KC basement on my ranger. The other group members were a couple of rogues, a cleric and an enchanter. There may have been a mage too.

I realised I had to take about 10 mins to afk and let the group know. I suggested one rogue take over pulls as we had good cc (and the area was already broken up anyway). The other rogue could tank (rogues have better defence than rangers and similar armor types).

Of course I got back and the rogues had just sat there for 10 minutes doing and saying nothing, the entire basement had respawned.

In fairness, I'm sure there was a good reason besides laziness, though.
