Am I crazy for wanting to play a rogue on green?

[Vexenu]

I've done a Gnome Rogue before. They're definitely small (obviously) but it's not terribly annoying or anything, especially since you'll mostly be using third person camera. But there's no reason to play a Gnome unless you really want to play a Gnome. Also, since this is going to be on Green, it's worth considering the possibility that the staff might decide that the mouse scroll third-person camera view is unclassic (which it is) and remove it. That would force you to play in first-person a lot more often which is much more annoying on a Gnome. If you're torn between Gnome and Human I'd personally go Human. Better stats, just as rare and no size issues. And yes, the Rogue will be a weaker class starting out on Green, but who cares? That will just help ensure your snowflake status if you're one of the few who dares to tough it out.

Dwarf rogue has some nice weapon quest options.

7 dmg piercer with magic, oh yea!

also, local quest line that can lead to a blackened iron crown, grotesque mask or girdle. oh yes.

Wow, never even knew about that. You could start collecting BI chain as of level 4. That's insane.
Classic, I wonder?

I played a DWF ROG pre-Kunark. Don't remember those...

I definitely had the Miner's Pick 628 tho, and the Scarab Helm.

Also considering rogue strongly for green. Haven’t played P99 in ages, but rogue is calling to me. Perusing the old safehouse.org forums doesn’t help either lol.

The CR point is pretty relevant tbh. A party wiping deep in Guk isn't a trivial thing in classic. Noone will have a 60 parked nearby to rez, drag or murder everything.

Having a rogue will be nice in those cases.

yeah I better start relearning these zones. I used to get so lost in guk, but that was before maps.

I'm rethinking to rogue just because it's a type of class I never mained and I have a really good knack for remembering maps and directions so those corpse dragging situations might be a good thing for me to do.

Slot Machine Lottery sounds hilarious too.

Torn between maining a Rogue or leveling another class (Mage or Necro probably) first to help twink it.

Just concerned I'll miss the Jboots window for the Rogue leveling up a caster first. But man, ungeared melee are so weak in Classic. It'll be a horrible grind.

The rogue Guk experience alone makes the class worth playing. Also, rogues do crazy damage with really anything they use. It's not a gear dependent class at all. Sure, a 15 damage poker is nice, but a 100+ damage kick button with fine steel is cool, too.
