The easiest and simplest class to play?

What about a wood or half elf for a rogue?

Wood elves can forage and iirc have Infravision. Half-elves can't see well, and are otherwise noteworthy for having the worst hats. Half elves can start in many different cities, and might have better stamina? Which, for rogue, basically STR followed by HP as a distant second are your only really important stats. Stamina gives real bad returns for rogues (for example my +2 stamina earring at level 20 gives me.. +3 hp) AGI is okay for survivability, as it adds straight AC and also when you're encumbered OR heavily wounded you receive an agi penalty. The higher your starting agi, the more cushion you have to still be able to run away and not get hit so hard. DEX is nice for crafting and okay for procs, but procs are double-edged in that many of them will draw unwanted aggro at random times.

I'd say pick your favorite city/rogue's guild/people to belong to, and go with that.

...except halfling.

Barbarians rogues get throwing boulders. Synergises well with their ability to crit on throw.

downside here is choosing your entire future flavor/look based on an uncommon drop off of giants only found inside Perma/SolB, or the three perma-camped spawned outside Perma. without doing any math I also suspect a 36dmg throwing crit will not do THAT much more damage than a 50+ bow without crit, like if it does 2x the damage it won't be anywhre close to worth it

Those things drop like candy, no idea what you're talking about.

Appearance etc is entirely moot for Rogues due to guise.

talking about the wiki entries, which list Throwing Boulders as Uncommon to Ultra Rare except for being listed as Common off the ice giant diplomat only

if they drop a lot more in your experience, about how many giants/hours would you say it takes to gather one stack of 20 boulders?

So untrue.

You and the people around you will have to stare at your real appearance
1. Char selection secreen
2. Every time you zone
3. Every time you get illusion dispelled
4. Every time you forget to refresh your illusion
6. Every time you get ressed
7-10000. <exercice for the reader>


Also you will also appear as your real race on /who all

Mask is nice like fake tits are nice.

It's not the only reason.

Boob tubes.

Kilts.

Polar bear hats.

anyone picking a rogue thats not barb will regret it later

Best race stat wise if you're a min max kinda person is Barbarian or Dwarf.
tbh though, pick what looks best to you. it's so minimal at 60 that if you hate the look of your character I think that's worse than having optimal stats.

As a Wood Elf rogue with really shitty str and sta at start, I still manage to cap my str and sit at 220~ sta when fully buffed and i'm not in raid gear.
had I chosen Dwarf or Barbarian I may have capped my sta and had some more hp but I wouldn't have had the golden flowing elven locks....

I can't possibly imagine playing a barb rogue.

No matter how good they are, slam or boulders or whatever. A sneaky rogue and barbarian just don't mix.

Shouldn't be allowed as class/race combo really.
