Rogue Class Build

Unlike other classes in Dark and Darker, Rogue Class focuses on stealth-based combat. However, despite being quick and silent, their damage output isn’t really good. But that can be fixed by increasing its Physical Power and quickly stabbing your enemy to death. To achieve the best result, we recommend the following Perks and Skills:

Perks

There are ten perks available for Rogue as of now. From which, you can only select 4 of them at a time. However, only one slot will be available if you are Level 1. All slots will be unlocked once you reach level 15.

Ambush: After using Stealth, your first attack will deal 50% additional weapon damage as damage within the time limit of 3 seconds.
Dagger Expert: When attacking your enemy with a dagger, your Physical Damage Bonus will increase by 5%.
Poisoned Weapon: A successful hit to your enemy will apply poison which will deal five magic damage over 4 seconds.
Stealth: You can move ten steps while crouching or slowly walking, and your hiding skill won’t wear off.

Skills

There are four skills for Rogue as of now. From which, you can only select 2 of them at a time. Unlike perks, skills need no slots to be opened.

Weakpoint Attack: If the next attack lands on your target, it will deal additional 50% weapon damage to your enemy. Moreover, it will decrease your enemy’s defenses by 50% if successfully executed.

Hide: You can now become invisible and even change your equipment at the same time. However, moving, attacking, or using a skill will take away your skill.

Weapons

There are many options to be used in weapons. However, these are the best weapons for the Rogue class that utilizes the Physical Power stats:

Rapier

It is a primary weapon that can be bought from the Merchants tab. The one who sells the Rapier is Nicholas and Weaponsmith. Nicholas has the best Rapier with high stats, which is worth 70 Candy Cane. The stats are as follows:

Weapon Damage 25
Move Speed -17
+1 Strength
+2 Weapon Damage
+3 Physical Power
+1 Agility

Castillion Dagger

You can get it from the Weaponsmith, which is worth 6 Gold Coins. It is a Secondary Weapon and provides a good damage output. Castillion Dagger stats are as follows:

Weapon Damage 19
Move Speed -10

If you want to buy something from Merchants, these two weapons are the best picks for the Rogue Class. The Rogue Class build is based upon Dual Wield. Moreover, this build also utilizes the Physical Power stat to get the max damage output.

Ranger Class Build

Just like the name suggests, Ranger is more focused on distanced combat. Ranger class can wield Bow, Crossbow, and Polearm. Moreover, Ranger Class even allows to set up of Traps and Campfires. Ranger Class can also put you in advantageous situations by tracking enemies.

However, Ranger Class is unable to use most of the Melee weapons. Even if they can, the damage output of those Melee weapons will be too low. But that doesn’t matter if you stick with your team and support them with Ranger’s remarkable surviving skills. When it comes to building Ranger Class, we recommend the following Perks and Skills:
