I'm slightly ahead on posting this one, but I haven't started this thread in a while. Anyways:

I seem to have found a character I want to play on a regular basis: my little rogue on Phinny server. I consolidated everything down, and geared this character up really well for level 2. I've killed a lot of orcs and have gotten to level 13 much faster than anything else I have played on the server (necro, druid, cleric before the quest xp nerf, ranger...). I'm also enjoying this rogue the most, by far.

The irony is my brother got me into EQ playing a rogue on his account. I got to high 30s on that character mostly in Luclin and High Keep before I got my own account. By that time, I was talked into rolling a class my brother's guild needed (cleric then enchanter) and basically haven't touched a rogue since. No promises that I stay interested, but it's been the most engaging play I have had in game in a long time.

Having played mostly casters since 2004 I'm finding myself very newbish as melee dps. Anyone with good tips for a new-to-the-class level 13 rogue playing on a progression server (with slower xp) feel free to post them!

What are you up to in EQ at the moment?

Finished my PoP flagging for Aid Grimel quests Wednesday. Then spent some time Thursday farming mats for the seals (Artisan's quest), and ran into the first mats so far that are ridiculous to farm. Got a bit discouraged. Then sat out last night due to a migraine. Hoping to play with my son a bit this weekend, with his new warrior heroic that we rolled for him.

Haven't done much lately. I usually log in, do some plat farming then log out. As for Rogues, I love Rogues! If you go on Magelo and do a ranking for levels 85-87, 3 of the top four are mine. Unfortunately, I usually lose interest around level 85 and then use them to farm items for lower level alts. Hide and Sneak can get you into some very interesting places! Smiley: grin I in fact heroiced my Rogues their last few levels to avoid more grinding.....

Snailish, one of the few things you need to do for your rogue at the early levels is getting an Evade macro set up. You can combine it with two other skills that you can rotate around to keep them maxed such as disarm, pickpocket, intimidation, etc.

/attack off
/doability 1 (pickpocket)
/doability 2 (hide)
/doability 3 (disarm)
/attack on

Depending on the skill you may have to move the abilities around to keep the refresh timers synced.

In addendum, re: EVADE Macro...

Any toon can benefit from this. Rangers can work on tracking , tanks can work up taunt, ***foragers can forage*** and anyone can work on begging.

EDIT ***


OK, just +1ing, really.

Great tip, thanks for posting it.

My rogue is now level 21. Paludal solo and grouping was great for 13-21, though it slowed down at 20.
