If all you're going to do is steal Doom rares then the only skill you
have to have is stealing. Hiding and stealth are nice if you decide to
go for the spawn theif idea or something but Doom rares don't require
it. You can throw stealing onto just about any character template to
accomplish this. You want at least 115 stealing in my opinion
otherwise you fail too many times but the minimum to steal a rare is
only 100. With burglars bandana and some +stealing jewelry you don't
need to train higher than 80 stealing which can be done easily in a
day.
The most common template I've been seeing in the spawns lately seems
to be hiding, stealth, stealing, necro, ninjitsu, weapon. I have a few
chars following this concept on different shards and they are very fun
to play. I'm not a very good "thieves guild" theif but it's a blast to
sneak into a harrower and start spamming Wither at the front line pk
defense or trying to get a few hits off on the harry and run before I
get killed. However, those things don't require stealing at all! If
you go for this make sure your char is male so wraith form is more
difficult to see.
On the t-hunter side note, I use a peace/provoke/mage template with
the lockpicking and cart. I actually soulstone the cartography at
times in lieu of fishing. I solo level 6 tmaps with ease on this
character and with the upcoming changes to EV's it will probably be
even easier.
