Half-Elf Rogue (Str)

[Aprus]

Any recommendations on builds/dilettante for a half-elf str based rogue (28 pt for now)? I was away for a while and the whole dilettante thing interests me. Since I'm not that familiar with DDO rogues, would monk or fighter dilettante be best perhaps? (Although when I look at monk dilettante, these don't seem too helpful to rogue.) Thanks in advance for the help.

A min/max'ers str rogue will use khopesh, so the fighter's profiency/tactics won't mean much, and you probably won't care about monk AC much. I choose barbarian, for toughness enhancements on a HP-starved class.

Thanks for the fast reply. I'll keep that in mind as I think about what I want to build. In general, I'm one of those people who hates re-rolling due to getting a build wrong!

fighter dilletante is still good, as it will give you +1 STR. that's +2 if you also take human adaptability STR. and being able to use kukri's and picks without having to umd master's touch scrolls is still pretty nice even if you take khopeshes. i'm guessing that you don't have any +2 dex tomes, so you could start with 16/16/14/10/8/8 and use +1 dex tome before lvl 9 because of the req's for ITWF.

Nope, no +2 tome for me. Just started up a haggle bard, so that will help my ability to gain plat a little faster for a +1. On my server, they run around 25 to 30k for +1, so I should be there before I need it.

Anyone happen to have a detailed build suggestion? (Not like you need to go and build it if not.)

maybe something like this? if you go with barb dillie, you would be taking Helf barb CON for 2 ap, and could drop human STR for barb toughness I and II. feel free to experiment with enchantments. as for feats, they could be:

1. toughness, fighter(barb) dillie
3. TWF
6. EW:khopesh

Thanks for the help. I guess if I mess things up I'll figure it out by level 4 and start over!

Here is a Helf Str-based rogue that uses the monk dilettante to reach a nice AC while keeping a very high dps: The Shadow (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=295106&highlight=shadow+helf).
