    Default Dodge on the new Dex assassins

    I've run some quick numbers and would like to get further ideas.

    Max Dex Bonus: Light shadow armor starts at 19
    19
    2 - mobility feat / item
    6 - lithe
    6 - light armor mastery
    2 - armored agility augment
    2 - fencing master (in game description says both MDB and maximum dodge. Wiki appears to be incorrect on this buff.)
    3 - shadow dodge
    ---
    40

    Maximum Dodge:
    25 base
    2 - fencing master
    3 - light armor mastery
    6 - acrobat cores to level 18
    ---
    36 (Note: this is correct with my live testing. I'm at 30% on live w/o acrobat.)

    Dodge
    11 - item
    2 - mobility feat / item
    3 - dodge
    6 - uncanny dodge
    3 - unearthly reactions
    3 - shadow dodge
    ---
    28
    7 - untouchable (shadow charges)
    ----
    35

    When MTF is activated these should go up to:
    40% MDB (no change)
    46% Maximum dodge (+10 mtf)
    45% Dodge (+10 mtf)

    Dodge is capped at 40% due to MDB.

    I edited this post based on feedback and further testings. The notes below are mixed from the original and updates:

    The one thing I can think of adding would be a Dagger's Tooth belt for +4 maximum dex bonus (though I think this is probably a bad itemization.) Max dex becomes 40 and leaves room for MTF to raise max dodge up to 40.

    Overall, this seems to leave Measure the Foe and nimbleness at a point of only raising dodge by 2%.

    Next, you could be a Halfling and get a couple bonuses, but are there other ways to raise dodge on a pure rogue without being a Halfling? Better ways to plan out a good dodge score?

    Notes:

    Could take spring attack for +2% dodge, though I don't think its worth the feat.
    Will likely drop the dodge feat and just let nimbleness and MTF have a small amount of utility.


    Dodge
    8 - item
    2 - mobility feat / item
    3 - dodge
    6 - uncanny dodge
    3 - unearthly reactions
    1 - past life

    23 (this is my live number)
