now as ive said and most of you have forgotten iam ye old 41/20.

One of my fellow rogues was a nice combat swords. Sure he seemed to invest a lot in stamina [in his sockets and equipment] but hey! to each their own right?

but now he's done this while i was away

is this viable?!

Thank You. That gave me a good laugh.

And no, it's not anywhere near close to viable for anything.

Major Flaws:

1.) No ruthlessness.
2.)Opportunity and Sword Spec are useless together.
3.) Lightning Reflexes should never be taken over improved SnD for any build.
4.) 1 point in MoD? Why??
5.) Dirty Tricks is useless for a combat build.

I'm just not even sure what your friend was going for. His build seems to have no central focus, almost like he put points into things with pretty pictures.

Simply put, no, not really.

AR is one of the best utilities a rogue can have. Blade twisting is relatively a controversial 2 points atm (crippling is supposed to be better). Riposte really depends on how your friend plays. Personally I loved it, but thats just me. Imp sprint is most likely a better choice than endurance IMO.

The sub talents look decent but opp is more for dagger rogues unless he uses garrote mainly.

As for the assassination tree, the 2 points in remorseless should be moved elsewhere such as murder or relentless. I would suggest a build If I knew what his goal was (pvp or pve).

EDIT: forgot to mention lightning reflexes as shao did

LOL...Shao, you beat me to it, but I agree.

Blade twisting is trash
Oppurtunity is worthless to sword spec.
That deep in comabt without AR?
Remorseless attacks?

And I thought I was a build newb.

The best thing you can do is point your friend in the direction of Demea's build review and pray he sees the light.

After looking at that build I don't even know what to say. Where to begin, what to change... what is it? A good laugh to say the least. Point his **** to the stickies ASAP.

All I can say is wow.

He skipped 5 of the best talents in Combat, and picked up the two worst.
He skipped the low tier Subtlety talent that is actually useful, and took one that does nothing for swords.
He skipped Relentless Strikes, but managed to max out Lethality.


...wow.

Show him this thread. He obviously knows nothing about rogue.



Also, for the record, Blade Twisting is not trash.

Yeah, my first thoughts were:

1.) 39 points of the worst combat talents....only 39 points
2.) Way to pick the worst talents of the worst tree
3.) Murder? For a 70? WTF?

Although, people like that are why we have such an incredible wealth of info here on these forums.

1:he picked most the good ones... he just missed about.. 12..maybe 14 or 15 of the better ones
2: if you mean combat, your mistaken... if you meant sub (and i hope you do) he just picked the worser talents for his build, oppo is pretty nice fi your into backstab lol
3: murder is a good pvp talent, averaging only a smidge less dps then 3/3 imp ks.... so ya...
