Coming from a rogue who still loves and plays eq, I think the set up for a rogue in Vanguard looks amazing. I love the idea of the mobs having a "perception" Check to spot you, instead of the agro radius. And incorporating things into a game like Vanguard where the original tools of a rogue like Lock picking, sensing and disarming traps, are actually part of the game again and not forgotten history, While maintaining the thing I love most about being a rogue, which is doing damage. I also very much like the idea of tools to keep the game fun and give us some versatility. In a new game where DPS isn't everything like everquest, if you gain something else you lose some DPS. Good write up overall because the only thing that interested me about vanguard was how the rogue class was gonna stack up.

Fantastic article! Such a great read I am showing this to everyone at the moment. Man, so much information about a class that is typically generic. I've said it before but I have been hyped for about every Vanguard class, but rogue being one of the lesser ones. After this article, it has grabbed a lot of my attention.

I mean, it isn't a ranger, but hey

Keep up the fantastic work! Safe journeys - Faelor

Sneak up, he's distracted posting twice

But back to the article, great article. I wanted to know a lot about my favorite class, and here it is. Great new things, great inplementation of old skills and some new skills.

Not sure if it's going to be so great as it sounds now, but let's give them the benefit of the doubt at least. I'm very positive, can't wait.

Did they say anything about armor? Only leather, or will we get chain too?

Don't think anything about armor has been mentioned for the Rogue yet. In the screenshots showing Rogue characters they seem to be wearing pretty standard looking leather, but I could be mistaken. I'd be happy with leather, as it seems that Rogue's playing correctly won't be getting hit too much
