A seemingly fragile glass cannon that can attacks fast, dodge everything, deal with mobs, and get out of the stickiest situations alive.
Alright, this is my first post after years of lurking. (Sorry about my poor formatting skills and no pics)
This build is for you if you like:
- versatile characters
- playing around your afflictions
- outmaneuvering enemies with risky plays
This build is NOT for you if you:
- hate micro
- don't like very squishy characters
- feel uneasy because you don't have heals (ya goddamn chicken, **cluck-cluck...!**)
When Trickster was the only class to get buffed in the last two patches, I thought I'd try a solo run on a character I had in mind originally as a Streetfighter/Nalpzaca, which proved to be too squishy and unreliable in some fights.
What does this build do: goes into fight and builds up asap maximum Wounds, either by deliberately getting yourself hit a couple of times (but who wants that, really), or by using the titular ability of this build, i.e. Dance of Death. Then, as you have a +10 Int +15 Might bonus, you can start casting all the defensive buffs that allow you to not get hit, and keep stacking bonuses while attacking very fast thanks to Lightning Strikes. All of this spiced up by the mystique of the Trickster, which provides all the afflictions and the CC that base Rogue is missing.
