    Default Strength Rouge Build

    Hello, I have decided to come back to DDO after a pretty extended break.
    I want to play a rouge but still be able to dish out some decent DPS.
    I will be playing with a group of players most of the time when using this build.
    The reason that I have no enhancements until level 4 because I use veteran status.
    Thanks in advance for all comments/critiques

    Looks like you might have enough rouge there - which lipstick to compliment it?

    Xeryus Rouge is considered the strongest. You can get some off of Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Xeryus-Rouge-G.../dp/B000C213Q6

    for scimmys go half elf with fighter dilettante and go from there. Get more choices for marital weapons.


    And rouge is very appealing for a rogue

    also the capstone is cheat death or deadly shadow, cannot choose both. Faster sneaking is a luxury enhancement and not needed really (nice to have but not needed) pour the ap in a different area.

    Well there's your problem, right there!

    By going into this thinking rogues are low dps will cause you to fail. Right off the bat. Any moderately build TWF Assassin rogue will be high end dps. Everyone goes on about raid boss fortification, but there are so many ways past that now and 99% of the game is against trash mobs. (Opportinust has 10% chance to bypass fortification, FvS AoV debuff has a 5xstacking 10% fortification debuff, for a -50% fort)

    So get the notion out of your head that rogues are inferior dps and build it just like any other melee dps class. Just remember that 2/3 of your damage will come from class features and enhancements, and you won't be as reliant on strength to deal damage, like every other melee.

    Apart from the 'rouge' spelling, there are some serious mistakes on the feats selection imo, i gathered them here for an outlook :

    Feat:
    (Selected) Martial Weapon Proficiency: Scimitar
    Feat: (Human Bonus) Toughness
    Feat: (Selected) Two Weapon Fighting
    Feat: (Selected) Oversized Two Weapon Fighting
    Feat: (Selected) Toughness
    Feat: (Rogue Bonus) Opportunist
    Feat: (Selected) Improved Critical: Slashing Weapons
    Feat: (Rogue Bonus) Crippling Strike
    Feat: (Selected) Two Weapon Defense
    Feat: (Rogue Bonus) Improved Evasion
    Feat: (Selected) Toughness
    Feat: (Rogue Bonus) Slippery Mind

    * TWF but no ITWF / GTWF.... those 3 feats are the core of any TWF build

    * No Power Attack ???

    * You can UMD master's touch scrolls if you want to use scimitars. The only proficiency feat you may find usefull is khopesh.

    * Slippery mind is pretty much useless (allows you a second roll for which you have to roll a 20, yeepee! ), Skill Mastery has more use by far.

    * TWD is... 100% useless unless you dedicace your build to go high AC, and it doesn't seem to be the case.

    * OTWF is ok if you have too many feats, +2 to-hit on a rogue is never bad especially in epics now that helpless != auto-hit


    Basically the core feats for most rogues are :
    TWF
    ITWF
    GTWF
    PA
    IC:<weapon type>
    Toughness

    That's 6 feats so you have 2 more on a human to play with. You may also consider Quick Draw (about 4% dps increase on bosses when you're chaining haste boosts)

    As Malky said. Too many toughness feats, dump TWD, get ITWF, GTWF. Also, khopesh is a better weapon overall than scimitar but the scimitar does compete.

    Have a WF str 20 rogue Assasin III with base 36 str before ship and love em.

    I just updated the build, but for some reason, even though I met the prerequisites for it, the builder wouldn't let me take ITWF so I couldn't take GTWF.
    Those would go in for two of the toughnesses.
    Other than that, any comments/critique-ings?

    The reason you are having issues qualifying for ITWF and GTWF--need a base dex of 17.

    You just need to eat a +2 dex tome @lvl7. That will solve your problem.

    I think I know what's your problem.

    Ability raises through enhancements don't count to meet the prerequisites, you need to use a +2 Dex tome to qualifies the minimum requirements, or spend 2 level up abilities raises in Dex.

    Oh, ok, thanks.
    I didn't know that enhancements don't count towards prerequisites.
    I fixed it though.
    Would it be an effective assassin build now?
    Thank you for all of the help everyone.

    2 things I saw:

    #1. a +1 con tome is pretty cheap. I would suggest putting all your level-ups into str and not using a level-up point in con.

    #2. Rogue haste boost IV will increase your dps over anything you equip/buff you get/build you have. Invest in it, learn to use it, love it.

    See? That's all you need to do. Just "eat" a +2 dexterity tome. I have a handful lying around myself... Everybody does...

    Master's Touch scrolls are they way to go I believe if you need to use a weapon you're not proficient with. I just picked up a stack of 100 from the Portable Hole on my wizard for about 800 pp to pass to the rogue I'm leveling up. Now he'll be able to use scimitars (or any other slashing weapon) when fighting enemies with DR/slashing -- I noticed that the rogue really has no slashing weapons that he's proficient with by default (besides the sickle).

    * Slippery mind is pretty much useless (allows you a second roll for which you have to roll a 20, yeepee! ), Skill Mastery has more use by far.
    Can you support this statement? DDO Wiki and the Compendium simply say that you get a second saving throw, not that you must roll a 20 on it. Since rogue's don't have the best will save around, getting a second save versus hold person or command or the like would be quite nice.

    I had some guildies saying that a rogue really really really needs to have Hamstring as a feat. Any comments on this? The description says the target's "movement" is slowed by half. However, is this his attack speed, or just his walking/running movement if he were to say be chasing you? If the former, I can see the use; if the later, not so much.

    Some clever quote is supposed to go here, right?

    He means that a rogue's will save is usually so low that you'll need to roll a 20 to save. Meaning that you now have two chances to roll a 20 instead of one.
    While an exaggeration, it's not -that- much of one, so people don't usually bother with the feat.

    As for hamstring, I've never used it. And likely never will. It does nothing for my boss damage, and trash mobs die fasst enough that a snare effect is a waste of time, not to mention a feat slot.
