The Spell Mage build has you max out Spellcaster first to get the most out of your spells fairly quickly. This has a great impact on the power of those spells (ex: Lv2 Summon Monster / Lv2 Fireball). To start, the Bookworm background is INCREDIBLY useful to both Spell and Rod mages because when you learn a new spell it will start at Lv2 instead of Lv1. That being said, there are typically two builds available to the Mage, the Spell Mage build and the Rod Mage build. Mages have a large set of skills to choose from that are all expensive to max out. I think it's a waste of points but if it works for you or you want to play as a Dagger-only Rogue, feel free to dump some points in it to try it out. I personally do not place any points into the Shadow skill because the stealth bonus it gives does not work on enemies that "count" in the long run. From here, you can choose to max out acrobatics for wall climbing at Lv2 and increased dodge chance at Lv3 and Lv4 or you can put some points into Dexterity (for bow damage) or Strength (for dagger damage). At maxed Archery, your attacks will ricochet off of walls multiple times (I believe it is 3/4 times). Next, maxing out Archery helps greatly in the later levels as many of the enemies/bosses are much easier if you snipe them from afar. ![]() If you hit the ground without pressing a direction, you will take the regular amount of fall damage as opposed to 3-4 with this skill. Note that this only works if you are holding left/right when you hit the ground from a high fall. ![]() Once you've maxed Dagger, put a single point into Acrobatics for the fall damage reduction. Pinning an enemy near a wall using max dagger toss can quickly dispatch nearly any enemy. Lv3 Dagger is when throwing your dagger becomes viable as it hits not only on the way out but on its way back as well. Lv2 Dagger gives you the ability to throw your dagger out a short distance ahead of you for reduced damaged (pretty useless). Don't get greedy with your attacks as the rogue is pretty squishy. The basic attack style for a rogue using a dagger is to rush in, hit 2-3 times, back out, repeat. Because arrows are usually in short supply before the Forest stages and your bow damage is pretty awful early on, maxing dagger gives you an excellent option for up-close combat and rushing. Choosing the Experienced background gives you a +1 starting skill point and Far-Sighted gives you greater ranged damage and sight at the expense of some melee accuracy (may cause your dagger to miss). That being said, I have provided here a basic all-rounder build that works well both online or in single player. If you're playing online and prefer a sniper role, you may consider investing into Archery first.
