last time i did a rogue caster i did the following:
all stats to int
1-20 melee.
so level 1/5/10/15 melee weapons with 50/60/70/80 ee or so. type of weapon doesnt matter in the slightest
armour: leather/scale with either str/dex or a good +hp mod, ee works also.
charm: +life/str/dex.
alt charm: heal charms probably lvl 5/15 60/70 ee
lvl 20-mq
weapons: +int
armour: +int
charm: ee charms
alt charm: ee heal charm
another build you could consider is instead of a caster, to just melee it with melee armour/charm and have a heal charm, all the points pumped into int will boost the heal charms a nice amount and could probably get you very decent mcc's.
so same upto level 20, then gear sort of as follows:
weapon: ee (adds could be int/hm)
armour: HM/str/dex/(to a lesser extent HM)
charm: HM/str/dex
alt charm: heal charm with high ee
when you reach 70 or so BASE int, consider changing to +dex or str as your heals will be doing fine and you should have a sexy mana pool by this point.
i personally prefer a full on mage to a rogue caster, tried both ways.
didn't try a melee rogue with heals yet though, something i want to try as it works well apparently.
prob try the 2nd one

melee is fun and u dont gotta worru about mana lol
