A Steal Rogue Build

First Build: Stealing with high Atk

This build can be used for all situations in the game like PvM, PvP, WoE. Although, it's not a specific build for each perpose, it can do well and you will be fun with it. Furthermore, you can level very fast with this build.
High attack and high chance to get something extra from monsters, isn't it a good deal???

Actually, only this would be enough coz you're not going to use envenom that much. I've it up to lv10 but seldomly use it.
So at job 40 you can manimize hiding to lv8. So you can having your lunch while your rogue is hiding underground 
Detoxify is very important. Yep you can use a Detoxify clip but that means you will lost one of your slot for accessory for it. Keep it for a better clip.

you can play around with it until you've found the skill line that you like. 


How to level up???
- increase your str to 10
- increase your dex to 10
- increase your agi to 60-70
- then increase your dex to 40
- then increase our str up to 30
- then keep increase your agi and dex and try to balance your status

Not a build with a high dex as most of you guys think right. 
The main reason why I chose to use dagger is because only dagger can work with snatcher. With my experience as a thift, not all the time that I do the steal during I try to level up. As a result, it would be better if I use dagger and with the help of snatcher, I can do the steal while flighting with the monster and I don't have to waste my sp for it as well. I normally use clip heal to recover my hp, so I think to save my sp for this purpose is a better choice.

Also, Bow will be suck later on and has lots of disadvantage. such as
- can not carry much coz less str, which means that you can not level up at the map that far away from kafra.
- can not use snatcher
- expensive equipment and you need to buy arrow for the rest of your lift.
- can not match the attack that hunter can do
- can not go to as many place as a dagger rogue can go
- not fun coz you'll have to level up at the same map as hunter. I hate them. 
- in the future, the attack of back stab from bow will be reduce by half. and this is true.
- I hate hunters so, I don't want to use bow like them 


Second Build: Steal like a professional

These builds are aiming for stealing, so if you want to earn more zeny you should have your eyes on this build and have a thought about it.

If you want to make sure that you can steal before you kill the monster, you can reduce str and put it into dex. This will increase your chance to steal a lot better.

When you have a full support from priest, your aspd will go up to 180.4 which is really fast.

You'll have 3 points left over, you can put it in Strip Armor or increase Tunnel Drive to lv5.
In case that you want some skill to deal with the mob, Raid lv3 is not too bad as well.


Steal coin is depend on luck, better left it at lv4 except you have priest to company you and do the gloria for you all the time.

With this build you will steal a lot often than a bow rogue, becasue a dagger rogue will attemp to do the steal with every monster with the help of snatcher.
A Bow Rogue with high dex can steal a bit easier, but will they going to attemp to do the steal themself everytime they flight with the monster???
Not as often as a dagger roung will do. More Try, More success. 

With a high dex, you will have chance to get the double attack more than a dagger rogue that has less dex. You can feel it from the voice of double attack.
Most of people said that dex has nothing to do with double attack. Yes, they are right when you considering only the discription from the skill. Dex didn't directly increase the chance of double attack. No matter dex 100 or 1, the chance will still remain at 50%
However, with a high dex, it means that you has more aspd and hit rate more than the other rogue that has the same agi as you. So what???
More ASPD --> More hit rate ---> More chance of success within the same time.

This buid is very fun coz you can looking for a rare item from both stealing and dropping. This is one of the main character that i use to find zeny. 


@ Weapon @
+7 Gladius with 3 cards is going to be your main weapon
The one that you need are as follow:
+7 Gladius 3 Andre as your first weapon when you have low str
+7 Gladius 3 + 3 Anacondaq to level up at argiope's map lot of expensive item there +7 Gladius 3 PecoPeco Egg - to level up at clock tower +5 V Wind Damacus - to level up with fur seal, sea otto +7 Gladius 3 Hydra - to level up with kobold & High Orc
Only these 4 daggers are the must for you.
However, in case that you don't want to spend much on the weapon. Only These 3 daggers will do.
+7 Gladius 3 Desert Wolf
+7 Gladius 3 Skel Worker
+7 Gladius 3 Minorous
Or if you rich enough, you can get all of them.
However, if you want to buy an element Damacus only very strong is enough. Don't waste your money to go for very very coz it's 100% not worth for your money. Keep it for a better use.


Don't close this post yet !!!! It's not that hard to get those weapons. With a steal skill you will earn lots of money especially if you have a merchant build that have oc lv10.
Trust me on this, with snatcher, zeny is eazy to find. 



Where to level up
Sorry, this build has been done after the amatsu patch came and after this patch, all the monsters are moving around.
But the best place to level up is at clock tower 1 when you are at level 60+. Punk is a good monster to level up with. Your dex should be around 50+ in order to use +7 gla & 3andre card instead of +7 gla & 3 mummy.

Hope this would help.
