What's the max Weight for a thief?

Hi, I'm new to the game playing a thief the traditional sneaky backstabbing thief way.
I'm looking at weapons/shields/armors for the best defense for the min weight. Looking like Runeshield, Secret Dagger, and either Black Leather or Rogue's Armor with White Bow.

Not that I'm far enough into the game to GET these things yet, I'm treasure-hunting for 'em.

What is the max weight you can have without hindering AT ALL a Thief's ability to dodge, roll, move, etc.?
Do stats increase this max?
Would a Rogue's Armor (1.5wt?) be significantly WORSE (for dodge/movement) than Black Leather (1.2wt?).

Thanks for your help guys

PS. Havne't found a decent "Build" in the "build" section for "sneaky" thieves.

I'll try to help….
Equiped weight is levelled up via raising endurance. Your equiped burden depends on your endurance stat. You can check it , by looking at status in the menu. You can run fast and roll fast as long as your equiped burden is less than 50% of maximum. So, if you can wear 50 weight, then 25 and under is what you need. If u go over 25, then u run slower and roll slower. If u go over 50, u cannot run or roll at all. Just walk.
Rogues armour and black leather are very good and very light, black leather is especially good in the poisoned swamps of world 5, because it raises poison resistance.
White bow is ok i suppose, but the lava bow is preferred ( fire damage and scales with magic stats) , or a viscious/sticky compound long bow ( great for high dexterity stat ) .

Look at your total equipable weight, divide that number by 2. As long as you do not pass that number you will have unhindered rolling. Most people go for 40 stamina which means your total equip weight should be less than 34.5. This is not just your armor though, it also includes all weapons you have equipped.
