Just hit 10th.Will my skills go up if I hunt light blue mobs? Do I need to level up my 1hs if I plan to use 1hs in my secondary slot once I hit 13th and get dual wield? I think its yes to all above.My plan is to hunt lt blues -backstab them ,switch to my 1hs, knock it down till it runs then switch back to piercing and backstab it till its dead. Hopefully get my skills in both up a bit before I get dual wield .Good idea or is there a better way? > Just hit 10th.Will my skills go up if I hunt light blue mobs? yes > Do I need to level up my 1hs if I plan to use 1hs in my secondary slot once I hit 13th > and get dual wield?

No it goes up pretty fast, I recommend you get a quick 1HS and 1HB and practice. Frankly, max your Pierce first. A lot of people don't max 1HS and fewer max 1HB. One other skill most neglect is the throwing skill, where you can do crist and deady strikes, not for much damage, but a little, great for pulling and sneck pulling. > I think its yes to all above.My plan is to hunt lt blues -backstab t > them ,switch to my 1hs, knock it down till it runs then switch back to > piercing and backstab it till its dead. Well I would go for level forst, but too many people go for level FIRST. Good Rogues know they are useful because of skill, Level is just a qualifier. Get pick pocket, Pick locks, sense and detect traps, and sneak and hide maxed every level. I would NEVER advise a rogue to get Power levels, and I just as much not have one level in Pal caverns. > Hopefully get my skills in both up a bit before I get dual wield .Good idea > or is there a better way? Skills is the game for a Rogue, not level, but 1hs goes up fast when you have a secondary. >>Just hit 10th.Will my skills go up if I hunt light blue mobs? > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > just a qualifier. Get pick pocket, Pick locks, sense and detect traps, > and sneak and hide maxed every level. Sense and remove traps skills are easy to cap; just tie them to your left and right turn arrows. Pick pockets is not a crucial skill, other than getting your epic or ripping off your friends (or strangers) its not useful at all. Sneak and Hide are certainly worth working on, but not really hard to do either, and harder to work on in combat than not; again, just tie them to your left and right arrows and work on them while running around POK or your home town or the bazaar. > I would NEVER advise a rogue to get Power levels, and I just as much > not have one level in Pal caverns. I can't think of any reason not to go ahead and level up for anything but combat skills, if it takes 2000 tries at sneak to get it to 200 skill, it doesn't matter whether you do those 100 at a time, each time you level, or 2000 all at once at 50th level. As with caster skills, if you -stop- PLing at some point, then you need to take a long boring day and force feed the skills too... but since they aren't combat skills, thats no hardship. If a rogue benefits from 1hs and 1hb and archery and throwing skills, then there's a little reason to level up a bit more slowly, as usually people find its easier to level those skills on lower level mobs. More important, though, would be to work defense skills up at low levels; these are Really hard for most classes to work on with high level mobs, yet they are beneficial when taking incedental damage, or when forced by a mezed or dead MT to take over no matter how poorly you might fare relatively speaking... oddly, its this skill thats -best- served by PLing, at least in the traditional DS and heals format; the PLee is getting hit a lot more than a rogue in a traditional group ever will. >>Hopefully get my skills in both up a bit before I get dual wield .Good idea >>or is there a better way? > > Skills is the game for a Rogue, not level, but 1hs goes up fast when > you have a secondary. Hide, Sneak, Backstab, Piercing, Defense, Offense; those are the key skills at any level that determine if you are a good rogue. Other weapon skills are mostly chrome, and the ones that aren't, dual weild double attack type stuff (do rogues get both?) go up very easily in any style of play. Level, though, means higher damage bonus; that means level -does- matter. I can't think of a class where level isn't the most important thing, except perhaps a level 59 ranger.

Keep piercing maxed before all else. If you're soloing at low levels, before dual wield, if your piercing is maxed then it's ok to switch out to a 1hs or 1hb after the first backstab. It would be much faster to just get hit 17 for dual wield and then stick a low delay 1hs or 1hb in the secondary. Dump some training points into the skills if you're impatient. The skills will max eventually, especially between 39-50 when your skills have hit the pre-51 cap. By high levels, you will just be using 2 piercers anyway, but is nice to have the other skills maxed along the way, as weapon upgrades can come when you don't expect, and getting a nice new 1hb when your skill is 2 is kinda annoying. >> Just hit 10th.Will my skills go up if I hunt light blue mobs?

Keep in mind that high-ratio 1hs weapons are much more common at higher levels than 1hp. So, make 1hs a second priority. --Jekke ===================== Playing on Torvonilous Mipmip Bromeliad (Froglok Cleric, 36) http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=850034 Veteran Moulin Khmer (Dark Elf Rogue, 65) http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=87681 Qiin Dred (Iksar Necromancer, 55) http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=717977 |
