Job Origin Backgound

With world war and governments worldwide breaking down all over Micras, many ex-Soldiers and opportunists have become criminals. Rogues are eitheroutlaws on the run from the law or bandits out to pray on the defenseless. They have learned to be very mobile and difficult to pin down to keep ahead of those that hunt them and also emphasise precision over brute force. And if the enemy has something they want, well, to the victors go the spoils.

Notes

Rogues have a latent +5 to accuracy and +10 to evasion over normal jobs, making them more accuate than most base jobs and also frusteratingly hard to hit with both physical attacks and magic spells. Rogues make great opportunists; in a fair fight most of their abilities don't match up to other jobs, but they can take advantage of a foe's weakness in certain situations. Their steal abilities let them nab a number of useful things that can help the greater war or benefit the Rogue directly in that battle.

Rogue as a Main Job

Rogues make good evasion fighters; their defense is very bad for a melee combatant but with evasion bonuses they can dodge the majority of attacks. A good Rogue knows that it only takes a few solid hits to put him down and subs something useful. Knife rogues that steal often may want to sub Paladin for extra survivability or Sword Mage or Assassin for additional evasion and toe-to-toe abilities. Rogues using bows and taking advantage of sprint and sneak attack might want to think about Mercenary to knock back close opponents or Soldier to challenge a lone attacker. A main job Rogue might want to take a few levels in a more physical job such as Hunter or Soldier to keep their strength up.

Rogue as a Sub Job

Sub rogue gives half of a Rogue's natural abilities: +5 evasion and +2 accuracy - nice but hardly staggering. An Archer / Rogue or Hunter / Rogue in a safe spot can use ranged sneak attacks when the situation arrives for massive damage. Paladin / Rogues can steal HPs to stay alive and grab a few pieces of equipment on the way. However, overall Rogue stat growth isn't that good so its a better sub job for when you know you want to steal or gain other Rogue benefits - not so much for general leveling or combat purposes.
