Default Rogue life

I am just curious what it is that draws people to play a rogue.

What do you rogues do to keep it fun? What is it that you enjoy most about your rogue? What race is your rogue, do you wish you had picked a different race, if so why?

Can afk just about anywhere. Can go just about anywhere. Easy epic. Great damage. Little to no responsibility in most group/raid scenarios (aside from CRs)...

I've had 2 barbarian rogues, a dwarf rogue, a halfling rogue of high to max level. They are great to play... they're not really a solo class but can get groups easier than most classes. What's not to like?

Which race did you find most amusing and why? Did you ever think about playing any other races?

Amusing? Well dwarven rogues are fun due to barrel rolls. Barbarians can slam (on same cooldown as backstab, but it can be used to interrupt casters.)

If I were to roll a rogue today, I'd probably go human or dwarf. Human because there aren't a lot of humans (and there's no human mask) and their armor graphics are usually pretty cool (if you like fashion quest?).... Dwarf because barrel rolls are fun (and I'll never have a dwarven mask), RPing a dwarven rogue is more interesting than most other races, and they have a nice wisdom (comes in handy when tradeskilling.)

That about sums it up. Also it's not really a heavily gear dependent class either since they aren't going to be tanking damage often. Epic is easy to get and has haste on it so that's two birds with one stone.

Horrible first character imo. After you can throw nice weapons, haste item and get your str/dex up high, they're pretty fun.

Rogue was my first character and main until I quit live. I didn't make that mistake here.

You play a rogue cuz u either want unlimited damage in PVP, or you like backstabbing things in PVE its simple as that really. If you want to sit back and nuke stuff, then go afk while you med up you roll a wizard/caster

Yeah that's kind of my sentiment too haha.

I just was wondering if there were particular zones or places rogues liked to sneak around, or things they did that a casual player wouldn't really know about.

The rogue game mechanics are so simple I figure there has to be more to it, that keep some people glued to their rogues. Like some secret rogues-only activities that go on I am not aware of. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I mean, it's a kinetic type of game play on a rogue that keeps you very very active. If you have a great tank and the mob's back never moves, that's one thing. But it's pretty fun sneaking in backstabs in the middle of chaotic situations.

NToV corpse recoveries / dragon pulling (is this still a thing?) are really fun too. LoS ducking the see invis and certain death awaiting you if you get caught has an appeal. And if nothing else, I can invis forever as long as no one AEs me. I get lost ALOT...

I seen what you wrote about races too, I am bored with my casters and druids and pally atm just want a pure melee or close to pure melee dps now to play for a bit while I take a break from my other toons.

I have considered races over and over, looked at stats, which makes it hard to not pick dwarf or barb due to such nice stats.

That being said I am going to see if I can get into a gnome only because they seem uncommon and I never played one, ever. Their tiny stature seems funny too.

I wanted to see what kind of gameplay rogues encounter so I have something to look forward to myself, being I am pretty ignorant when it comes to this class.

Thanks everyone for your perspectives, feel free to add any other thoughts.
