Uhm.. looks very powerfull! I started yesterday with a rogue, can you tell me your rogue build please?
Sure, my Hearth Orlan started with :
17 might
10 con
19 dex (18 + 1 from province)
13 per
10 int
09 res
Start with Blinding Strike, which although it comes with 1 less use/encounter than Crippling Strike, helps in the medium term, with survivability.
Very much later on, you'll also be picking Crippling Strike, so you can set up more targets for Sneak Attacks each encounter.
At the beginning of the game you want to rush roughly 2000 copper to buy the stiletto with the Jolting Touch proc from the smith in Gilded Vale, that will carry you very very far into the game, I was still using it at level 9.
Abilities (in alphabetical order) :
Blinding Strike (to set up sneak attacks and for survivability in duels)
Coordinated Positioning (this one's for mobility in fights)
Crippling Strike (to set up sneak attacks)
Deathblows (this one is pretty important, if you stack debuffs on a target, you'll do more Sneak Attack damage)
Dirty Fighting (10% hit-crit conversion)
Minor Threat (racial, 10% hit-crit conversion when attacking the same target as an ally)
Reckless Assault (-8 deflection, +8 accuracy, +20% melee damage)
Talents (in alphabetical order) :
Backstab <--- stealth is broken, pick something else to be honest
Vicious Fighting (+10% hit-crit conversion for Dirty Fighting)
Two Weapon Style OR One Handed Weapons Style , depends on your playstyle, I play dual wield
Savage Attack
Interrupting Blows (delayed enemies are enemies who deal less damage)
Bloody Slaughter (no idea if the +50% crit damage only applies to Bloody Slaughter crits, or all crits )
Faction talents :
As you can see, the character itself has a built-in +30% hit to crit conversion.
On top of that, rogues have very high natural accuracy and accrue even more over time.
I managed to get a 114 damage crit in the following circumstances :
- Flaming Weapons chant from Kana
- Double debuffs on the target, triggering Deathblows
The weapon used is :
Keep in mind however that everyone has their own playstyle, and you may have more fun following your own instincts than a strangers' opinion.
Thank you very much man!! I will follow this build
