Lower the fort on non-undead/Construct bosses to 50%

[Malison]

The thing that gets me is that the dominant prestige for rogues is called Assassin.

(dictionary.com)
noun
1. a murderer, especially one who kills a politically prominent person for fanatical or monetary reasons

And yet rogues are now terribad at killing prominent figures. They're second only to casters at killing trash, but that's not an assassin's role. An assassin would ignore the trash and instagib the boss. The only balanced way to approach that is to reduce or eliminate fortification, so at least he's dealing a ton of damage to it.

That's a fairly poor statement.

Barbs and Kensai get very large amounts of their DPS from their criticals.

My statement was accurate, I didn't state that Barbs and Fighters don't lose dps I said they lose less.

I'm sorry but rogues losing out on getting sneak attacks which is around 71 damage per swing is a much greater loss then barbs and fighters losing out on crits (which also means rogues can't crit in addition to their SA loss.)

In a high fort situation rogues get hit the hardest for loss in total dps.

If they were also to beat the 'melee only' classes on the bosses, one might wonder what the purpose of those classes was at all?
Why would someone roll a fighter or barb if the rogue can instant kill the trash AND ALSO beat the boss faster.

Are you serious? Last life i was a barb, this life i am a rogue. I traded my hp and my TANKING ability for more dps. This patch has sent rogues dps to the gutter against the most important targets of all.

I dont know about your server but mine is already about 20 barbs/fighters to every 1 rogue at level 20. And this was pre-patch when rogues ruled trash and boss dps! Lmao.

Rogues need help in a bad way in epic raids.

So not true, a third? Most barbs are using a GA...kensai fighter on the other hand...they rely on crits much more than barbs.

Yes a third, frenzied berserker adds 3 to the crit multiplier on 19-20 while kensai gives seeker +8 (if thf) and +1 crit range which is considerably less.

If they are both using a GA maybe...but put a Falchion in the hands of the fighter...and haste boost.
