epic rogue build feedback

[CThruTheEgo]

I am planning to TR my current rogue into this build. I will be using rapiers/picks. All feedback is welcome and appreciated. I mainly want to know if this build will cut it in epic content. If not, what needs changing and how?

Again, all feedback is appreciated.

looks like a solid build

[destiny4405]

nice clean build. 477 hp isn't an overkill, but you should be fine even with 457. you could start with 14 con and pump some other stats if you feel like it. i would take halfling heroic companion instead of traps sense for some unexpected buffing

also, don't call your rogue epic. bad karma

I'm currently doing the same thing. My stat spread is a bit different since i have +3 con tome already, but other than that, it's the same.

This thread contains the discussion where I got my infos from.

I think toughness at 1, SoS at 3, TWF at 6 would also be an option, but this depends on the number of nice THF weapons for the early levels you have available.

i also tr'ed and took PA at lvl 1. really makes difference as i solo with a stick. took TWF at six. didn't dual swords at all till lvl 9 and saved best for last (you know im talking about SoS )

Thanks for that. Wasn't sure exactly what to be aiming for in terms of HP pool. I knew 400+, but not specifics. I few more int would be nice. I am a fan of skills and was already feeling like I would be making a few sacrifices. Also, I do not yet have a +3 int tome, and I'd love to not have to farm one. I'll consider heroic companion. I took trap sense only because I had a few points left over at the end. And thanks for the karmic tip, I was mainly just trying to communicate my intentions with this build, not claiming to be the ultimate or anything.

In response to your second post (sorry, I don't know how to multi-quote), I'm a bit of a role-player and not a fan of playing different styles on a single character, unless that's what he/she does. Plus, I do intend to play this build through the whole game, but want to make sure it is endgame viable. So I wanted to take TWF from the beginning. I know I'll have some to-hit problems, but I already have some low level equipment to help with that. This is also the reason I am taking power attack later.

Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah I've taken a look at the halfling backstabber, this is loosely based off of it. No enhancements to go buy, but most are pretty obvious (except for those last few). I was pushing for more con, but if 14 con is acceptable (as the backstabber build and Destiny indicate), I'd probably go:

str 16
dex 16
con 14
int 14
wis 8
cha 8

and maximize balance and jump, then put the extra skill points after a +2 tome into bluff for pulling enemies. I know you need 35 bluff to get into epic partycrashers (which I'm able to get with gear alone), but does bluff need to be maxed to pull enemies effectively? I have heard this is an occasionally used tactic in epic content. What rank is needed to make this viable?

Thanks for the feedback.
