Rogues, and how to build them?

[Swish]

Excellent, thanks for the responses... will get my STR to 200+ and see how I get on from there [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

How to build a rogue? One word; Ragebringer

[Lojik]

is this blue or red?

[Tikker]

parse it out and come back


hit percentage is pretty much static at 60%

[Swish]

So just keep weapon skills capped with maxed out STR and you'll be doing the most damage possible?

Interesting on the 60% hit chance...I'd love to parse that to be sure.

Thats a number he made up, but it's close enough to the 60-70% I tend to get. It's not a static value, AC opposes hit chance so you'll have different odds depending on what you fight.

Lv 60, maxed str = maximum damage potential (ie: 553 max normal BS). ATK simply makes you hit for max more often.

Basically, be 60 with VoG / Avatar -> 255 Str / Goblin Skull Earring / Dance of the Blade / survival buffs. Have knowledge of hit boxes, impeccable resists, semi-decent reflexes, and a tank who doesn't suck. Then you'll do ok.

Uh, yes it is. Same background.

With normal raid buffs, VoG shaman str(capped 255) no dex buffs other then the dex from vog and primal essence. Just a shrunken gobby earring for +atk buff(no bard songs in this parse).

This gamparse doesn't like to show a neat little statistics so this is all I got from a copy paste of its summary. Basically to break it down
overall is 68%.
Piercing is 68.2%
Backstab is 64.1%.
Slashing 68.1%.....393 mobs killed in total, all planar trash and bosses in one. If it were just planar trash or seb mobs I would probably be near the 70% mark but every rogue knows how those boss fights can go
depending on disc pop duelist for instance miss 2x double backstabs and be SOL or get 2x 700+ with almost no misses and all pierce/slashs for 100+ on average. But personally if its a fight longer then 30 seconds
I prefer Deadeye since with VoG you can time it to get 3 backstabs off guaranteeing 3 good hits on top of the melee damage rape.

-vs- Combined: -- DMG: 282984 --
DPS: 42
Pierce: 125645 --
Backstab: 90009 --
Slash: 66661 --
Non-crit rate: 100% --
Attempts: 7359 --
Hits: 4932 --
Missed: 2345 --
Defended: 82 --
Accuracy: 67.8% -- Avg Hit: 57 -- Max hit: 982 -- DMG to PC: 10463

This takes you from all the kunark dragons/bosses non VP including fear, hate, and sky trash. sky djorns/sisters/bees so essentially its mixed in with all the boss fights. I could pull out logs of 10 of each fight parsing and the variance usually isn't much unless I have a bard in my group with epic proc playing atk pwr songs and such then really only my average hit goes up. I sit around 1397 atk pwr with dance of blade.
