Shock weapons not Ice for Robots. Best is Nanocarbon Scalpel, with lesser options of Hunter's Machete or even Lightning Falchion of Defense, or possibly just possibly Adamantite Shortsword.

Traitor's Chain Boots would give your another point of armour, Ruined Dragoon Boots would give you your current armour but some fire protection, or you could drop a point of armour for Boots of Balance and gain Stability.

A better off-hand weapon would be Ghostfinger, as it's Shock damage and that gets through to Robots with Lightning Dirk as a lower-powered backup. That said, a shield will likely do you better, Wisdom of the Seas being pretty much the best choice for a Rogue.

Ring of Bull & Cloak of Might are both STR bonuses, with Bull adding some END too but that's not a huge advantage, the Ring of Unlife would be a better swap for the Ring of the Bull.

You have Agility 5 and Flurry? How? You don't need much STR with a Light Weapon, and END without Body Development is a bit of a waste.

The best way to adequatly prepare yourself for the Ark of Lothasan, is to make peace with your past, be grateful for the life you're lived and tell your mom you love her.

That's fine but your original post says AGI 5.

ALL classes can get Body Development, though you need to complete a quest if you're not a member of the Warrior's Guild. Not that I necessarily recommend BD for a Rogue, but if you're going to have high STR/END anyway then it's an option. BD III will pretty much double your HP.

A big stack of Potion of Lesser Restoration will also see you through tough times. You can grind them via Illmara Town Hall quests along with grinding the Crimson Hills for Golden Apples.

Oh, and Steel Wizards do Shock damage, so look for armour items that give Shock resistance, even if it makes your character weaker by an attribute point or two it'll actually serve you better than the "theoretically" better items. But Steel Spiders do physical damage do don't completely ignore that either.

Red Leather Buckler has fire resistance so may be better in Ark.

In Ashen Cape, steal the mutant minotaures their armors! They are extremely good, and protect against shock (for robots lasers) and fire (for robots explosions). Rogues can only wear one torso armor and legging I think, and mages only have one legging. But it's worth it.

Plus, the minotaures drop excellent life and mana potions in large quantities. Ashen Cape is the place to farm before the Ark.

Just remember: in the Ark, you need high armor, and high resistance vs shock and fire. Forget about the rest.

A potential problem though is the robots lasers can stun. If you get stunned in battle, you'll die. High spirit resist can help, but it's not enough. You absolutely need Stun Immunity.
