Rogues, and how to build them?

[Tikker]

parse it out and come back


hit percentage is pretty much static at 60%

STR=ATK=hits.

Yes.

No. Str = Atk and max damage. Atk = damage rangeyness. Hits = Weapon skill / offense.

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.

Don't weapon and Offense skills raise ATK as well?

yes it has, i've seen my attack at 1433, and damn those backstabs hurt [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
should ask trakanon about it. i've hit 150+ dps on it before within 30 seconds [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

SO this makes the case
I have a barb with starting out stats in STA
Str gear is really really easy to come by, and by the time you get to end gaming,
Your str should be max with shaman buffs/vog.
I look at my dex and just laugh.
my STA buffed is also maxwed at 60 and raid buffs
i mean your attack should be max with max piercing/offense also.

yes

but atk just really affects the range of values you can hit for


hit percentage is a static defined value

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.

They do! Like most stats, they have multiple effects. ATK is an exception.
