Dex is primary stat for rogue. It adds dexterity, which affects damage, critical and dodge making us killing machines. It also gives us some health so we don't die when mobs look at us.
Intelligence is our secondary stat. As such, it adds mana (which we need to use skills), a bit of damage (every bit counts) AND extra health.
Strength only gives us health (HP) - but that is necessary for survival.
Typical pve build is:
All stat points in dex
Passive agility, knowledge and might all maxed
Passive crit added when you get extra points for it.
Aim / nox / pierce and your choice of veil, traps or razor
Madnex can undoubtedly provide the numbers as to how much each stat point gives at each level.
For rogue gear, potency type (dex/int) is almost always preferred. However you can use a combo of that and strength-based gear (this is usually the assault version but the names change occasionally) if you are feeling too squishy.
Use the "view stats" option in the CS window to try things on before you buy. Green is better and red is worse. Picking gear is all about finding the best balance for you. Have fun and enjoy it, because unfortunately at end-game it is currently one-size-fits-all.
