Development
As usual, focus on one of the two weapons if you dont have enough skillpoints for both. Still future THs should get the bow skills too, as those, unlike daggers, have an overhit-available skill, and its always nice to first use a bow on the enemy anyway.

Equipment
Ideal would be of course the top d-grade light armor, Salamander skin, or the top d-grade set, Manticore skin, the later gives some additional mana, not an important bonus but better than nothing. The top d-grade dagger is the Mithril Dagger.

Adventuring
An important feature of the human rogue classes is that they get the Vital Force skill, additional to Relax. This means that human rogues heal even faster while sitting than dwarves.

Dagger users simply do melee, while archers adventure like nukers - hit the mob, run away, hit the mob.
