Rogue armor opinions

[Imploded]

Just looking for some opinions on which would be better armor for my lvl 20 assassin. I currently wear dt with radiance guard +1 str and I dont recall the 3rd effect at this time or the epic duelist leathers from the cove. The attack bonus on the duelist leathers looks nice but I wanted to hear what you guys think before farming for it. Thanks

I wouldnt' bother with the Duelist leathers. I wear either an Epic Utility Vest (+2 INT) or a Frozen Tunic, generally speaking.

(I do have some special purpose DT, but I'm still building each of them out ... destruction, smiting, etc.)

the attack bonus on that armour is the same as the crafted attack bonus.
so if you've crafted +2 or +4 to attack on googles/trinket then the armour offers no benifit

cheers

For SinIII the best armor is Epic Utility Vest. The best and no choice(DD all the time, +20, +2 INT), so you can make your ring to +2 CON(STR, DEX - your choice).

My Rogue's currently using the Epic Duelist's Leathers/Epic Frozen Tunic, situationally. There's so many gearing options there for an assassin rogue, just go with what you feel is best for your style.

(I'm also pretty much constantally wearing Epic Ring of the Stalker, Epic Spare Hand and the Epic Treasure Hunter's Spyglass (I like UMD). - So what I'm using is good for me. Go with what Works for you.)

I have to echo the Epic Frozen Tunic love. Just for the Freezing Ice Weapons effect.

10 stacking cold resist is a small bonus that is surprisingly relevant - more than one boss in the game uses both Dispels and Fire Shield: Cold.

Epic slots make it even better if you fill them.

Dragontouched Vestments offer the versatility my rogue needs when fighting various types of mobs. (I'm currently using Resistance + Heal Amp + Tharnes/Destruction/Radiance Guard). Frozen Tunic somewhat fits into that scheme as well.
Vulkoorim Fighting leathers offers some useful bonuses on an unusual slot.

I'd swap between Epic Frozen Tunic and DT with Destruction on the third tier, -4% fortification is a massive personal DPS boost in boss fights not to mention for the party. Second tier should be heal amp. First tier can be heal amp, resistance (if you don't have a +5 resistance item elsewhere) or perhaps exceptional charisma skills (if it lets you get no fail heal scrolls).

Radiance guard is great for regular questing of course but should just use radiance weapons for the most part.

what everyone said, just want to add that my rogue only wears outfits/robes. faster to switch and you run faster.

also, with expansion, epic red might be more worth once fire immune mobs dont make the majority of the endgame.

Thanks for all the replys everyone. I do have an epic utility vest made that i swap to if I am unsure of a trap since I get +2 int from my spy glass. Though I suppose if I wore it more i could free up trinket for something else and a ring slot for maybe stalker ring.
