I don't understand builds

Is Flash Farmer still a good farmer?

I find most posts describing builds for rogues are quiet old, Flash Farmer’s example is for an older version of the game and even its last reply is 1 year old now

Although this other one which is older, has more recent replies to, not sure if the main post is edited to reflect better changes than the second thread.

It looks like Rogue is mostly played for hireling nowadays…?
