Rogue Race

[Hasbinbad]

Barbarian are the best race for rogue by far because of slam and the ability to use throwing boulders.. Barb and Dwarf have similar starting stats, put your points into stamina and what's left into str. I chose dwarf knowing all this, because of roll jump.

Roll jump FTFW.

(I have a barbarian twink rogue)

I'm not a roleplayer or anything but I always thought Barb Rogue was a pretty ridiculous notion. Giant guy sneaking around, not being seen and such. Just goofy.

Anyhow, others have given useful info.

Sneaking around is only a small part of what makes an Everquest rogue an Everquest rogue. There's also the part about wielding a giant spear and slamming it into your opponent as hard as possible in the 4th intercostal space just to the left of the spinal column..

Also, much like gypsies, barbarians are sneaky and not to be trusted. Give me your tears.

I was a dwarf on live but I always regretted not making him a a gnome, because it was the hardest illusion mask to get on my server

[Pyrocat]

Half elf rogue for starting near EC and having awesome plate graphic look.

Dwarf rogue for rolljump.

Gnome rogue for being a god damn gnome fucking rogue man, they're awesome! Have you seen a gnome in full Mrylokar? You'd spring a chubby right now I tell you what. Plus when you run since you're so low to the ground it seems like you're moving faster than larger races how awesome is that?

I support the notion laid forth by both Hasbinbad and Pyrocat that looking sweet and doing sweet ass things like rolling when you jump is by far the most important aspect when choosing which race to be. Go with what looks good and you'll never regret it in this game. Style is everything.

Edit: Best looking bard this side of Norrath if I do say so myself. Really need some gold gloves though, ugh.

I went Half-Elf. Decent stats + not as androgynous looking as wood-elves. But I am not a min/maxer. Plus half-elves seemed to fit the role of a Rogue (outcast but not KoS in both human and elf towns)

Barb: the lack of night/infravision is a real pain especially during CR.

Dwarf: I can't stand always looking up at mobs, or staring at their ankles. (Backstab= Achilles Tendon stab)

Gnome: 'Nuff said.

Dark Elf: Would be fun, just too much of the world is closed off to darkies. Plus my main on live (Vallon Zek) was a dark elf so I felt I had seen most of those regions.

[Akim]

BARBARIANS for slam and natural str,
or half elf for pure coolness.

Half elves easily look the best in chain and plate. All you need to know. My robocop hat with custom speed fins tells you I mean business.

Anything other than Dark Elf, really. And that's only because every rogue is also a Dark Elf, after picking up Guise.
