Rogue feats question

[TheBlueFox]

So, I made a rogue a while back, and Im looking at some of the feats I took

Improved Evasion
Crippling Strike
Slippery mind
Opportunist


Now...I wanna ask your guys advice on something now that I've TR'd, which ones actually matter?

Improved Evasion - Theres no reason NOT to take this as a rogue, its too valuable

Crippling Strike - I took this back when I had dual Weakeners of Enfeeblers, and it seemed to help out. But in Epic content and in endgame content, you cant really stat stun mobs anymore. Just as well, I'm using radiance rapiers...so I think I wanna not take this this time.

Slippery mind - lets face it, as a rogue, if you're gonna fail a will save, you're gonna fail it twice, I think im gonna skip this as well.

Opportunist - you know... I dont really remember how effective this was. Bypass 10% fort with 3% doublestrike...the doublestrike isn't bad, especially if it happens on a tasty backstab, the 10% fort allows you to crit (and sneak attack?) some monsters and I THINK bosses that have high fort and Im sure there are some. Tell me about this one guys. Can this one be taken multiple times?

Skill Mastery - Ill use these to fill up any gaps, extra UMD and spot/search/disable is always nice

Defensive roll - If you need to use this, you're probably gonna die anyway.

So really as it looks now... Im gonna take Improved Evasion, Opportunist, Skill mastery, Skill mastery

But tell me about Opportunist so I understand it better

Ok...

Opportunist - you know... I dont really remember how effective this was.

That's pretty much it. It can only be taken once, since when they were introducing the feat it was originally "take as many times as you like", which led to a huge mess and people planning on taking the feat four times. So they changed it a bit (to the current version, I think the original one was all doublestrike at 6% or something) and made it takeable only once.

Improved Evasion is an obvious choice for defensive purposes.

Defensive Roll and Slippery Mind are indeed useless.

Skill Mastery is nice, and you definitely have room for at least 1.

Crippling Strike... While true you cannot use it to stat-stun a mob, if I remember correctly you can still use it to drain 10 STR from a raid boss. -5 to-hit and damage is a pretty nice thing to throw on a raid boss. For that reason I think it's worth it, though if you really didn't like it, it could be pretty easily replaced with another Skill Mastery.

i initially had 28pt build and went with imp evasion, opportunist, crippling strike, skill mastry. then won a heart of wood on a lottery and rerolled to 32 pt and dropped the crippling strike for another skill mastery.
i found the stat damage was nice at leveling, even on raid boses. never used a str damager though, just wounding of puncturing. any mob doing less damage is always nice
