Intimitank vs Assassin

[jurzey]

So I'm about to reach 1750 favor and its time to roll a 32 Point Build.

My first character is a 28 point Halfling Dex Pure Rogue Assassin.

I was originally thinking that for my second character I would go with a killer Intimitank but then i started really thinking about a strength based HL Pure Rogue Assassin.

Once i get my 28pt rogue up to 20 i am going to TR into a Tempest Rogue Monk mix but that wont be for a while.

So assuming i only maintain two toons should i have two rogues or a rogue and a tank?

its always kind of refreshing to take a different route with a second toon.

it really helps get a grasp on different play styles and things you can do or see in the game.

Some always play one type, some never repeat.

It sounds like you want to branch out but are unfamiliar with the way to go..

I say, go for the tank...

I thought we already determined intimitanks are gimp.

[jurzey]

depending on who you talk to, so are pure rogue assassins.

should i take that as a vote for the assassin anyway?

[Eeomis]

Intim.

one thing you have to keep in mind, is that an intimitank is a fairly(imo) boring toon to play(hold down block, press 1 and stand there while everyone else does something), they also require alot more equipment than the average build. To be honest however, a 32pt STR based assassin vs a 28 pt dex assassin is not a whole world of difference. Your looking at +4-6 dmg at -1AB on a halfling compared to what you have now. The survivability will probably be slightly lower also.

That said, try out an intimy. personally i think they are not all too fun.
That or power through and just TR. If you have 1750 favor already, chances are you are fairly close if not at 20cap already.
