Which armor for Rogue

Class and Rank Archer
#1

Hi, I’m rolling a STR Rogue build. I wonder which kind of armor is better for Rogue (especially pure STR Rogue):

  • 3 Plate for bonus HP?
  • 3 Leather + Virvtov plate (top)?
    And should I add some CON or better put DEX for evasion?
    My path is: A2-Ranger-Scout-Rogue. :slight_smile:
    Thank you for your advance!

armor has to do with stats more than they have to do with a class, for a str build i’d go plate since you don’t have evasion you are going to need that extra hp
virtov recommended, grynas if virtov is too expensive.

Thank, should I add some CON?
Since I already got Virtov from my main char, so virtov choice make me save some money. :smiley:

If ktos gems get implemented here, all str builds will be deprecated

#5

yes, playing rank 8 with 0 con sounds painful.

#6

That’s why I wonder to add DEX as defend stat and use leather.

#7

Rogue Doesn’t need DEX, so it’s either STR or CON anyway

Also,the damage formula has a very narrow curve as atk goes higher than defense, it seems flat when values are closer, but eventually you start getting absurd numbers

It depends if he’s going more than rogue 1. Rogue 1 doesn’t need dex, but rogue 2 could use the dex for insane evasion boosts and go for cloth armor for better mitigation of damage against both physical and magical attacks. Rogue 3 is… Weird, because rogue’s attacks don’t really have a great base dmg, and your rank 8 options are not standalone enough to make it worth it going high dex.

I’m building a rogue 2 to test what I’m saying c:

#9

Hm… I think evasion give chance% like sneak hit, not work like evasion stat

#10

I’m Rogue C3, Rogue C2 also doesn’t need DEX, both Evasion and Sneak Hit seem to be absolute values or based only on your level.

#11

Yes, I think so after researching around rogue topic.
Btw, I’m gonna be Rogue2, which one you prefer: leather or plate (attribute bonus hp / evasion)

#12

Most case high str build prefer plate because of more HP for survival,(more dodge won’t help you much because +some dodge to your low dodge doesn’t help much).
But I suggest look for which armor you prefer than bonus from attribute.(attribute stay the same whether high or low lv armor) most armor, plate usually have +hp, but some leather items have some +hp or have unique effect like manahas/cafrisun or some gloves that +aoe atk ratio or +crit rate.

I have a similar build and am only going rogue 1. Whats working for me so far is 3str:1dex, 31 con. Shade gear, vubbe fighter gloves and whatever boots has the most evasion is what i use right now, but im only lvl 160. its working pretty well.

The reason i decided against no dex is i think you need some evasion at least for survivability. Also rogue1 only gets 70% crit with sneak hit, with a little dex i could use other gems than green and easily get 100% crit.

That’s what I’m wondering, I’m using plate bonus since I’m magic user, this Rogue is my 1st physical user.
Virtov plate (top) armor already give me around 2k hp, so I wonder how good evasion added from leather attribute. In case evasion not good enough, I would stick with bonus from plate :slight_smile:

I have no problem with no CON build until reach 260+ map.
I wonder how good evasion in 280+ content, especially in my no DEX rogue.
The reason I wanna add dex are:

  • With new gem update (coming soon), I would prefer red/yellow gem than green.
  • I wanna have other option than stick with couple of sissel bracelet
