You know you're a good rogue when _____

[Therbjorn]

I just thought I woulds start this little thread. This is a way for people to have fun and tell if they are a good rogue.

I'll start it off.

1) You have done an entire quest without fighting, just sneaking.

[Oreg]

You have 2 levels of rogue and 12 levels of anything else








LOL I am kidding

[KoboldKiller]

I was going to mention disabling all the traps before they are triggered but since nobody waits for that I guess I have nothing to contribute.

[Zenako]

When you can get the Crucible Key before those gnolls know it is missing....

When the party actually invites you because you can do the rogue thing...


(oh and as to the 2 levels...see the sig...)

[Borrigain]

When you're running the gunners in the forge and you look back down the ramp and every single ogre is paralyzed and cursed and the tanks are just starting to clean up your handiwork. And you didn't even take one hit from them....

Oh, then you pick the lock on the chest.

Borr.

when you run through all the gunners and just keep going, because you don't need to kill something that can't hurt you

You lead in Kill Count...........

[ArkoHighStar]

You lead in Kill Count...........

no thats just a sign of having poor tanks

[Aeneas]

When people tell you your character doesn't play like a rogue

[caliestro]

in the heat of battle tosses a raise dead to the cleric for getting too close to the trap you warned him about

[Impaqt]

no thats just a sign of having poor tanks

Nope, just means they(THe Tanks) are doing their job of keeping the aggro.

[ArkoHighStar]

In that situation leading the kill count is as much luck as anything else as it is just a matter of who gets the last swing

If you say so. FOr someone that touts Evasion in your sig, you dont seem to know the true power of a rogue.

I have played one since beta, and yes a properly specced rogue, can either be a powerful combatant or choose to soften up targets for the tanks, its all in how you choose to play the character. I can sit there and take aoe aggro from a caster with a bow so the tank can smack him down or I can work with the tanks and take him down quick twf. rogues are powerful in many ways not just kill counts. I guess they are just not as important to me when playing my rogue, as I see him as an all around character able to heal, fight, sneak, walk through traps etc.

As an aside I tend to play with extreme min maxers whose tanks tend to do massive damage, or carry dual wounding of puncturing combo's etc, so mobs are usually falling so fast we really don't care who kills them

[Talon_Moonshadow]

In defense of the tanks, I've noticed that if I play with a great intimitank, my rogue's kill count goes WAY up!

[KoboldKiller]

Upon further review I know I'm a good Rogue cause my mommy says I am.

[Shamguard]

When someone in the party says "Wow, we have a rogue."

When you can find and disable the trap before the fighting is finished. (Then finish the fight.)

When you can sneak in, grab the cleric's soulstone from the trap, disable it, raise the cleric, and then sneak in and get the rest of the party's soulstones and bring them back to the cleric to be raised. (Why should I use scrolls when the cleric has mana?)

[Shamguard]

When people tell you your character doesn't play like a rogue

it doesn't count if it is the cleric after she raises you... Again.

[death_smurf]

Youve doubled the barbarians kill count, raised the cleric who couldnt heal himself, disabled all traps within the quest, and reassured the paladin in the group, that yes he is still a viable member of the party more than once.
