With a rogue I would use Cloudpiercer/Borresaine/Sabra Marie. Cloudpiercer is the closest thing to burst damage but can do it only once per fight.

I'm not sure Cloudpiercer is 2nd. If you attack someone from your party you won't enter in combat mode and Cloudpiercer will be able to proc multiple times, however in combat mode it can proc 1/encounter. Don't know if it happened in your test but a single proc can make a big difference. PS. Sabra Marie doesn't have the highest DPS, but when you confuse someone their dps will add to yours... Right now it's slightly less powerful than before 3.0 because it has a check vs Will and you won't be able to confuse every monster as easily as before.

Not all retaliation items stacks - just from shield + another armor part (helm/cloak/armor). You have to be hit at least with a graze to retaliate. Deep wound doesn't stack - every attack (your own/retaliation/riposte) will just refresh its duration, you won't get more dmg.

There are many items now with on hit/aura effects which can increase your survability in melee by lowering enemies accuracy - Executioner's Hood (fear aura), Glittering Gauntlets (daze on hit), Binding Rope (enemies are stuck when they hit you)...

Watch some paladin solo videos to see their equipment/talents/tactics. You don't have Faith and Devotion but at lv16 and with some of the new items you should be able to tank at least the Adra/Alpine dragons long enough to kill them. PS. Bosses not immune to stun will be rather easy once you have Sap, but you need to max your int...

There are 2 new items (Frythr's Plated Graves and Cloak of Comfort) giving +3DR which doesn't stack with your armor DR. If it is indeed intended what's the point of giving this stat to these items? If they could be found during ch.1 maybe it would make sense because you don't have access to many enchantments. However these items come pretty late in ch.2 when everyone has exceptional armor, making this stats completely useless...

After finishing his quest he finally becomes "Anitlei" and he gets a passive 10% attack speed... Not sure however if it depends on the choices you made during his quest...

Hmm, you never heard about discounts then. Of course displayed prices in shops are the same for everyone, but if you talk directly to the manager he might agree to sell you for a better price if you're a good client or if you buy a large quantity.

You don't have to bind the Redeemer to destroy vessels with it (the rogue can perfectly use it), however he would be able to destroy only Eyless Stonepiercers (lv12), not the Hammers (lv15).

Sorry, forgot druid lose bonuses from armor too...

Yes, you can try to make a DPS chart, however it wouldn't tell the entire truth. A dagger and high dexterity could give you the best DPS against xaurips, but against a dragon your DPS could benefit more from might if you're using sabres...

You can add also 15% attack speed from the gloves, which means you can reach something like 7% recovery only while shapeshifted. Zahua with his new ability can reach 0% recovery with his fists too.

Ok, that's the ambush part... Before going out of the tent enter stealth and try to get away from the eyeless... If they don't discover you they will go back and you can kill them one by one...

You're at the ambush or at the lake?

You should stop trying to find who's right or wrong... The miller is helping the guards, while Sweynur is a known troublemaker. All quests are like that. Nobody is innocent, you just have to pick sides based on your own beliefs.

You have to give more details... Where are you? What level are you? Who do you have in your party? The more we know, the better the answers will be...

No, only melee weapons.

Don't know about the blind, but Divine Mark only on a single target

The patch gives Immunity to blind and -2acc and indeed it's a must have if you want to use Powder Burn. The cone is dependant on the firearm type. Blunderbusses have a short and large cover, pistols medium and arquebuses cover a long and narrow area. Unfortunately, due to the very slow attack speed of firearms it's not enough to add more dps or utility over a bow.

You can change their stats using the console...

Firearms are good only to start fights or using some heavy switching... Even with Powder Burn there's no point to use them unless you can hit many enemies at the same time, but even then Stormcaller with Twinned Arrows does a better job... PS. Maybe a bug, but Glittering Gloves has no effect on enemies when you hit them using Powder Burn...

Wouldn't that still just be attacks/spells that normally target deflection though? Yes, probably...

Since Outmaneuvering is passive I wonder if it applies to all attacks, not just with Steadfast. For a wizard it could be good just for the passsives, while using just spells...

It means you have to kill enemies while YOU have under 40% endurance

Interesting, what does this do.. And what items do have it on? It allows to transfer endurance from you to an ally once per rest I think.
