2/6 on my necro atm. Not sure to go rouge or knight next.
I'd finish working on the necro honestly, atleast get up to 5/6. (vit is usually the last thing maxed on any char)
Given the choice between rogue or knight, i'd say rogue, knight is more of a leech char imo.
Char's just don't get enough defense, even the knight, for proper solo tanking at short range.
The knight can tank pretty well but, without a healer, you're looking at massive downtime with the most expensive character to max out stat-wise.
Paladin is better than the knight for soloing imo, after seeing both at 5/6, that 450 hp regen + double dmg buff is really the only saving grace of a pally.
Rogue, maxed out, the best description that can be given to it is;
Stupid fast.
The speed of a maxed out rogue is insanely stupid, it'l also make every other character you play feel slower than a fat kid chasing an icecream truck.
However, it's not all a good thing, it's very easy to charge head-first into a group of god's, not too horrible of an occurence if you have a planewalker and can teleport/invis behind the group when you see it, without that cloak though...could be trouble.
When it comes to maxing char's, I take a different approach than alot of people;
Once I put that first stat pot into a char, I don't take it out of the Nexus until it's 5/6 with atleast T10 gear.
This saves me a LOT of pots, there are many people who die at 2/6, 3/6, 4/6 etc and that'd just make me feel cheated, when my char's die, I pretty much want them to have been all that they could be.
One way to look at it is, it's better to die 20 times with char's in T8 gear and no stats invested than it is to die once on even a 2/6 with T9/10.
Then once you get the hang of playing the class you're farming pots with, you'll be able to max out a char in 1-2 death's usually, sometimes you won't die at all.
Say you're using a necro to farm stat pots, here's a way to go about it;
Step 1: Make a necro.
Step 2: Get that necro up to level 20, aim for an above-average hp roll atleast, you can view average stats at 20 on the wiki.
Step 3: Equip that necro with a T8 staff, T8 armor, T4 ability and atleast a +6 defense ring. (Can be done before step 2, preference)
Step 4: Start killing god's, once you're skilled enough with the necro, you can even start doing this at level 10 fairly easy.
Step 5: Start stashing the pots, or investing them into the char that you're maxing.
Step 6: This one goes with step 5, collect gear, start working on backup sets of gear for the necro you're farming pots with, aim for keeping 2-3 spare sets of equipment so you can always go right back out there when you happen to die.
Step 7: Repeat 1-6 until the char you're working on is 5/6 with T10 gear, then have fun farming pots with it until you have your second 5/6 char.

oh my god yes rogue, it is godly for soloing.... as long as no one teles onto you and you both get faceraped.
It's best to not rely on your invisibility as a rogue out in god-lands, people WILL teleport to you and it WILL get you killed eventually, maybe not the first time, maybe not the second but soon.
Also, people are biased against rogue's because some people used to use them for loot-whoring before important drops were made sb, so alot of people actually
look for rogue's out in god-lands to teleport to, all in the effort to try and get them killed.
It doesn't matter who the rogue is, it doesn't matter if they've never loot-whored a single item, the people who do this are generally the assclown kiddies who call themselves "trolls".
They're usually playing a knight too, by the way, so if you're on a rogue and a knight teleports to you, be cautious, he might be trying to lure a horde of god's to you.
