There is an illusion mask for every race except human and wood elf starting stats don't matter much I always do 25sta 5str. Barbarians get slam no other rogue race gets that ability. Find a druid to duo w/ fear kite oasis, wolves in EK, aviaks in SK, overthere, TD aviaks

Slam and Backstab are on the same CD. And considering that Slam increases with the Bash ability (and rogues don't have Bash), then there is practically no reason ever to use Slam.

How much damage will you do if you're dead? End-game fights have point blank area of affect damage spells that will eat you alive. The only stats that matter then are resists and hit points. With shaman buffs, the unbuffed STR soft cap (the amount that it would no longer be beneficial to pass) is 213. With a bard + a shaman, the amount required is 191. That's a trivial amount (especially if you're playing a barbarian rogue). Starting stats should be put in a full STA dump.



All rogues get hide, lol. And with a Mask of Deception, all rogues can be dark elves, ultimately gaining faction and ultravision advantages of dark elves without the crappy stats.

You're a smart man.

I'm a barbarian, and it's a lot easier to get str/dex when I'm in resist gear than other races. If I were to roll again I would be a gnome for wall-looking -- melee stats on resist gear won't be as scarce in velious.

P sure woodelf has what is typically considered to be the best non-illusion hitbox when you eat dispels, so there is that.

It really doesn't matter what you roll, though.

Play any race you want. Equally geared you will still out dps every class, except maybe a monk.

You said monk when you meant to say warrior

AGI is useless over 75.

Except for the fact that agility decreases as your hp lowers, and agility bonuses counteract the resulting loss of movement speed and prevent your agility from dropping below the all-important 75 threshold when you need it most.

Instill doubt is unreliable at best. It used to be broken on this server and work better than it should have. It's been fixed now.

Instill Doubt and Intimidation are unreliable when you haven't yet realized that your special attack needs to be off cooldown when the skill check occurs for it to work.

If by that you mean he isn't always wrong, then sure.

So what you're saying is, AGI over 75 is only useful to keep AGI over 75? AGI over 75 is still useless, though.
