Best Weapon
When soloing, the recommended weapon is Curved Blade. It is a good balance between parry quality and damage. Longsword has better damage but worse parry and Mordren (level 36 rogue) recommends against it. For tanking, rapier is best. Skillwise, curved blade is the fastest to learn of those three.
Soloing combat style
Generally, after about level 10 it is best to always have alert combat active, defend parry and use trips when there are spell points to burn. Bandages and pipe help.
Order to raise stats
Always max Dex and then Str each level. Next, raise Con then Int. Only raise Wis if no other stats can be raised. Only level up when you can't raise any stats.
Post 19 Bonus
The only Class-specific bonus Rogues appear to get post 19 is an increase to their Alert Combat bonus.
At level 19 the alert combat bonus with Steel Backsword (which itself gave +19 parry/riposte) and secondary a Sharp Butcher's Knife was +122 Parry, +47 Riposte. At level 20 the alert combat bonus was +134 Parry, +50 Riposte. Note that the base parry and riposte both went up by 20 due to character level (any class with Parry/Riposte experiences this) and the bonus from Steel Backsword went up by 1 to +20/+20. So the increase from 19 to 20 was +12 parry and +3 riposte. It is unknown if part of that increase is simply due to the base parry/riposte increasing; mid 30 level up should prove that.
