Trash Remover, the end game assassin ~ Vistani Assassin Rogue by Strimtom

[Strimtom]

Hello everyone. My name Strimtahm. I make video about rogue if you like to watch you may watch thank you.




Wow, what an informative set of videos.

Expectations for this character for endgame stats:

1800+ Life
150+ PRR/100 MRR
36% dodge/25% Incorp/20% Concealment/130 AC
25k+ DPS while sneak attacking freely
100+ Assasinate DCs

But what if you can't follow the video due to not having video access? The whole build is right here:

*** First life notes ***
If this is a first life character, consider starting with an 18 dex so you can afford everything at level 1 still.
If you don't have enough racial points, just don't put points in the halfling tree at end game. Still put points in up to level 20 for the extra healing then spec out of it or spend less in vistani at 20.

This looks super fun! If you take advantage of all the crazy stuff, Rogues are amazing.

Did you find dark imbuement is worth taking now?

Is shadow manipulation garbage as well?

[SpartanKiller13]

Very nice! I've been wanting to do a VKF build for a while, and now I might try it out with Rogue as well

Sucker Punch/One Against Many raid filigree plus those two MP filigrees (all rare) gives +24 MP in 3 slots, so you might consider that.

Also, negative PRR/MRR is a flat percentage per Cocomajobo/Severlin (link to other forums where there's a screenshot), so -50 PRR = 50% extra physical damage, or a 1.5x multiplier.

Did you find dark imbuement is worth taking now?

From my previous life in Shadowdancer as a melee, I can say that Dark Imbuement is sick! Fantastic uptime (30s/2 mins), solid damage boost, and the reach extension is useful on any melee - you can kite as a melee while still dealing DPS also great for avoiding splash while fighting bosses.

[Saekee]

I see insightful doublestrike—are you missing doublestrike? Edit: on necklace! Note that it can be on boots for non-necklace owners... How about speed though, which I assume you have on the boots? I am thinking Legendary Spectre Boots which also give ghostly which you have anyway.

How about a non-raid setup? Some assassins do not raid and anyway even if one does he or she will begin probably with non-raid gear. I don’t raid so I have the sky dagger combo.

[HuneyMunster]

You could use Deconstructor slotted into Pain for Adamantine then take either Silver or Cold Iron. You would also get Deconstruction as and added bonuses for reducing Fortification. This would still leave you with a spare augment slot to for Good.

You also forgot to put your boots on....

I use Boots of Blessed Travels for FoM and +2 Quality Armor Mastery which would get you up to 40% Dodge (90% with Improved Uncanny Dodge). Depending on how many points you spend in Grim Barricade would get you to 42-43%.

[Coffey]

Great build guide Strimtom! This is very unique high damage class with a lot of pieces to put together to get it to work right and you aced it.

[HuneyMunster]

I

Edit: you are also missing a concealment bonus? Like Blurry/lesser displacement? Not a huge deal since you can wand it or use a GS clickie.

Scion of the Ethereal Plane gives permanent Blur.

Also noticed he has Sealed Life when he already has immunity to Energy Drain from Myst Stalker IV.

I find Dark Imbuement worth it now even just for the extra range for melee attacks and the 15 melee power with 2 SA dice for 30 seconds every 2 minutes is a nice bonus. It also can be used while using other boosts

I tried Shadow Manipulation and it can be useful in some situations particularly if there a single Reaper that prevents you from hiding. Its certainly an option to have instead of Sealed Life that he doesn't need.

Ahh right! Good catch--glad to have that as a reminder because I could not fit it in to my gearset

[Coffey]

really want to see about the doublestrike on the gear since that is the key missing element IMHO. I was doing the gear tetris trying to figure out a setup that I could get and it was painful

He said his character has 82% DS and 100% with Rapid Slash running. Also 100% offhand with 22% DS.

Here is the item list from the link under Strimtoms Twitch channel that will be updated over time i believe: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...gid=1372938008.

I Hope this helps.

Edit: the necklace has 24% DS

[QUOTE=Strimtom;6272792]Hello everyone. My name Strimtahm. I make video about rogue if you like to watch you may watch thank you.

B]Expectations for this character for endgame stats:[/B]

1800+ Life
150+ PRR/100 MRR
36% dodge/25% Incorp/20% Concealment/130 AC
25k+ DPS while sneak attacking freely
100+ Assasinate DCs

How are you getting 150/100 PRR/MRR? Whats's the breakdown?
1800HP? Your gear doesn't seem to hit those numbers.

What's getting you those numbers?

[Kebtid]

Can this build remove itself since it is a Trash Remover?

[VinoeWhines]

Where your past lives part of these numbers?

[Fafnir]

Thanks for posting this write up and the video. Good work.

[Memnir]

Gonna give this a whirl as soon as I get my PC fixed/replaced.

[Elaroth]

Hello everybody!
Usually i dont reply inder posts, even if I notice some trash stuffs, but this is My class!
On top of all we can start say Assassin is one of the top tier dps for bosses and great job in trash.
But not with this setup!
I m not so pro as u Strim, but I consistently play R10 as assassin on Cannith and I can achieve more than that.

First big error i see is "Why a full DPS BUILD doesnt use Prowess set?" There is no answer. Simply u r tellin us that u dont like to have +50 (or +80 if power boost) to ur MELEE POWER. My main Elaroth, fully buffed sat at 358 melee power in rraper with power boost. Dont forget that Prowess gives u: Melee power, dexterity, prr. The set pieces gives free action boost.

Second: 1800 hp for endgame reaper ?!?!?!?!? Im at 2.6k in quest and i feel squishy


Third 150 prr?!?!?! How so low?!?! And u mentioned a ton of rare filigrees that gives u extra prr....230 if i go LD 200 IN SJADOWDANCER

And last but not less important: 25 k dps?!?! I dropped again Shadowdancer to improve r10 numbers and i can say after various test, on Boss I am at 20k 22k in LD with full buff on me and all debuff on him...these are r1 numbers!!!...and u wont c a line with 22k written. But u will burn ur eyes to do exactly dps count on rogue, cuz u c like 8nline of dmg on top of ur head. I can improve lile 20% dmg if i got a bard in party....but not 25k sibgular crit for sure.

Wishes u the best....maybe post real numbers next time!!!!

AH....u are a Dex based endgame build and u go out there with 86 Dex....ahahahahahaha!

Elaroth
KVP - CANNITH

[Saekee]

Elaroth he uses shattered device to debuff boss so that whole party dps goes up. Prowess will be higher for you alone but you have the experience in R10 endgame not me

[Kutalp]

Nice build.


Vistani avoidance, Vistani timed special attacks and Vistani Fan of blades which adds more troll against rogue. (Not counting epic destinies/same for all builds with twisting...)

Vistani or Inquisitve is the real deal when + Any class is actually the flavor.

Only if Vistani would work with bows and acid arrows . (joking)

Hi, was curious how you are achieving those HP numbers?
Do you have a list of items or twists you are using?
What feats/enhancements/gears is that?

Thank you for your time.
