Need help deciding, Rogue + ?

[MMK86]

Hello,I have a Rogue, lvl 31 (first character).....but I'm having a hard time deciding what secondary class to choose. I tried searching but didn't find a lot of info. I was thinking to go with warfare or defense, but I'm really not sure.....especially with what skills to setup and which class would better suit the rogue. Also, would it be a bad idea to go with a mage style class like storm?

thanks.

Any class is balanced with any class. So it doesn't matter if you go with a mage type mastery like earth or storm.

I would recommend however you debate on what type of rogue you have. Do you have the static bonus to weapon and armor rogue, where any bonus to damage or defense is constant and never shifting (or it has no time limit). Do you have a skill based rogue, where you have a huge division in one shot skills that you throw out every so often at mobs?

If you have a skill based rogue, go with hunter or nature. Those are the best support for you surviving long enough to use skills. If you use melee static, go with warfare or dream. If you use defense static, go with either storm/earth or defense.

Even though all classes are balanced with each other (near perfectly), going with Spirit will take some VERY careful thought in how you build it, as it's one of the hardest to manage to start out with. Unless you feel daring, avoid the spirit mastery. Very difficult to be honest.

I went with Hunter, though I think it was a mistake, I don't like the play style and mana is a big issue.....keep having to gulp down mana pots. I had more fun just playing the rogue because I would just round up a big group of monsters, run around until they were in a tight group then use throwing knives and watch them bleed to death lol. Brigand seems weak, unless at high lvl's with some amazing gear its a good class...?

Brigand is good. traps and art of the hunt. and study prey. That will take you to legendary where yes you do need good gear. g'luck.

Yes, Brigand is good. I have 58th level Brigand specialised in Poison, piercing and Bleeding damage with spear and shield doing 7000+ dps and with maxed traps for support.
