personally i enjoy the play style of an ranged rogue, hide in the shadows snipe, repeat. this is especially fun when combined with bard. i really hope that we are able to play a sneak attacking ranged class. DPS anyone? hehehe

    Well I may sound predictable but I enjoy a rogue that can remove nasty traps open locks and gather lots, and lots of gold. Plus running up behind an enemy with daggers helps too.

    Nah, I don't really want to sneak, but I do want to stay ranged. I want them to see me behind a wall of tanks and I'm nailing them hard. :D I want to shoot a lot of arrows as fast as possible and from as far of a distance as possible and as hard as possible.

    I prefer a sneaky ranged rogue but not so much the actual thieving side of the class. That is why I almost always go with a Ranger type of character in all mmos.

    I prefer duel wielding daggers and back stabbing people.

    Pond scum.

    I think my favorite rogue I've ever played was essentially a Fremen knife-fighter, a la Dune. He lived in the desert, threw sand in peoples' eyes, and multiclassed into cleric jihadist. Whatever archetype you want to call that is what I am. It was a lot of fun.

    ill let my partner the bard,distract you with the tale of my reputable character. while i kindly releave you of your purse. of course if her song doesn't prove distracting enough ill gladly sink my daggers into your kidneys,before handing over the spoils to my partner. suprisingly she insists upon that last part,doesn't seem to trust me to keep it safe myself. fair of face and voice she may be,but definatly has some unfounded trust issues.

    While I not am more a recent convert to the ninja build of the assassin class, as rogues go, I'm a fan of the shadowy not seen even as that blade or bolt/arrow slices through you.

    huh? A mage-ish person going for ninja? What a great idea! It sounds like "unseen mage". I will put it next after the AA tomorrow in discussions of paragons.

    I really hope there is a way to rock the Bard, if not I will probably play a cleric or a wizard.

    Brutal Scoundrel with Shadow Assassin

    Oh, and since it's rogue class after releasing it in 4th ed, a shout out to the Swashbuckler style with a rapier of course!:
    AERIALIST ROGUE

    All rogues are known for their agility and daring, but you take both to the next level. Ducking under a giant?s club isn?t enough; you leap over it and cartwheel to safety. You?re a masterful mover and an expert top-story burglar, using your abilities to tumble into the fray, into high openings, and out of all sorts of tight spots. Dexterity is your primary ability score, because you rely on it for your attacks and acrobatic stunts. Charisma is secondary for you, useful in avoiding opportunity attacks if you employ the Artful Dodger tactic. Strength serves you well as a tertiary ability, helping your Athletics checks in particular.
    Suggested Feat: Defensive Mobility (Human feat: Sure Climber)
    Suggested Skills: Acrobatics, Athletics, Bluff, Perception, Stealth, Thievery
    Suggested At-Will Powers: deft strike, riposte strike
    Suggested Encounter Power: fox?s gambit
    Suggested Daily Power: handspring assault

    Artful Dodger
    You gain a bonus to AC against opportunity attacks. The bonus equals your Charisma modifier.


    Rakish Swashbuckler

    "With a face like that, it?s no wonder your mother loves me best!"
    Prerequisite: Rogue

    Life is too short to take seriously. Danger lurks in every shadow, and an enemy waits behind every door. Those who spend every waking moment thinking about all the bad things that could happen never leave the house.
    Instead of wringing your hands, you throw away all your worries and take a devil-may-care attitude. Sure, some say you will end up raking the coals of the Nine Hells because of your decadent living. In the end, though, who?s the happier: you and your adventurous, libertine ways or the hidebound drudge shuddering under his covers?
    On one hand, you?re a charmer. Others find your infectious wit and bravado winsome. But you?re also irreverent, irresponsible, and reckless. What?s worst is that sometimes you have the hardest time keeping your mouth shut. Whether cracking a joke in the middle of a solemn funeral or shouting a barrage of insults at a demon, you can?t help but stir up trouble. Deep down, you know life might be easier if you straightened up, but where?s the fun in that?
    When you face a serious challenge, your skill with weapons comes to the fore. Your tongue and your body language become secondary instruments of derision. You seed your exploits with cutting insults and disdain, goading your enemies into overextending or making other mistakes. When an enemy gives you an opening, you press the advantage. In the end, you stand triumphantly over a fallen foe, showing once again who the greater fool is.


    RAKISH SWASHBUCKLER PATH FEATURES

    Incorrigible Action (11th level): Whenever you spend an action point to take an extra action, enemies take a -2 penalty to attack rolls against you until the start of your next turn.
    Vexing Foe (11th level): Enemies marked by anyone other than you take a -2 penalty to attack rolls against you (this is in addition to the penalty from being marked). Enemies marked by you grant combat advantage to your allies.
    Dastardly Opportunist (16th level): Whenever an ally scores a critical hit against an enemy adjacent to you, you can make a melee basic attack against that enemy as an immediate reaction.

    I agree completely. I made a Rogue/Assassin that used a heavy repeating crossbow rain of death.

    Rogues are rogues, unless somebody is looking for rouge:-
    Rouge; also called blush or blusher (UK), is a cosmetic typically used by women to redden the cheeks so as to provide a more youthful appearance, and to emphasize the cheekbones.

    Happened to me a lot of times when on DDO people were LFM for rouge...
