larger race rogues also can't camp at a few dungeon safe spots that small races can.

so basically yeah, race doesn't matter for rogues. in general, race doesn't mean shit and you should always pick for fashionquest, unless your class can be an iksar or troll.

i rolled barbarian so i could have a neck beard and a skirt. i have no regrets about this decision.

avatar gnome rogue, can go any illusion, like skeleton. proc avatar, be the size of a skeleton click with 2 shrink doses without using a potion. great being a gnome. Go gnome or go home.

Yeah it does. There isn't much atk buff stacking issues I'm aware of. Only one I can recall would be wolf form doesn't work with avatar. Grim Aura on the earring will work with everything besides maybe firefist (rng dru self buff). Ragebringer atk (worn atk) stacks with everything, including other worn atk pieces with aura of battle (10 atk 2 regen).

Grim Aura will not stack with strength of nature.

boon of the garou and clicky aura of battle do not stack with avatar

celestial tranquility does not stack with grim aura

[syztem]

Str of Nature beats out grim aura by far if you can get it, but if grim aura is your only clicky other then a telescope might be easier to keep that up on dispell dragons. Between ring/grim aura/aon/flowers/illusion/avatar dispells should keep you buffered.

Since none of them brought it up directly. It's specificially your str which is low for your level. At 151 you wont be able to 255 cap while buffed. Str effects your max damage and contributes to your atk. Atk determines the frequency of higher damage hits. So you need str+atk to fix your problem.

My recommendations are...
•Epic if you lack it. 20 STR 40 ATK on it. If you don't have one write an apology letter to everyone you grouped with post-52 and get the damn thing. Problem solved. OTHERWISE...
•Acquire enough gear for 183 Str minimum. Allows you to cap 255 w/ maniacal str.
•Ask for / tip for / get buffed. Rogues are one of the worst unbuffed classes.
Key buffs are whatever str you can get.. VoG and CoP.
•And finally get a Goblin Skull Earring. It's useful and a tiny bit of theoretical damage.
•Aura of Battle is the big thing you want later on.

That should help. Good luck!

Dumb question but I'm about to go camp the earring so figured I'd ask... does the earring buff stack with epic or does epic cancel it out? (my assumption would be that it stacks, since you have it listed here with epic... but wanted to ask for confirmation [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
