Looking for a great staff build

[xrampage]

Hi guys, I came back to DDO after an almost 2 year hiatus and looking for a great staff build for my rogue (to forget about the **** build she's currently at), any suggestions out there? Also, how would it compare to a Mech. build? Thanks in advance.

Hey!

Welcome back to DDO.

Aldbar has posted a couple variations on his QuickStick build here:

(not sure which classes/races you have access to)

Let me know if you're looking for something specific.

Here's how I would rework his F2P build.

I meant to mention, a Thief Acrobat build will play quite different to a Mechanic build.
There was a rework to the Two Handed Fighting feats while you were away that replaced glancing blows with a new mechanic called Strikethrough:
https://ddowiki.com/page/Strikethrough

For me personally, I really like leveling THF builds. Hitting multiple mobs with each strike makes taking down groups of baddies a breeze.
I also prefer melee and tend away from ranged builds so your mileage may vary.

If you've got me questions feel free to ask

Thanks a lot for your reply, I'm currently missing Aasimar only, not sure if I have enough store points to buy it. I think I'll go the f2p route until I can get Aasimar (build looks awesome and will definitely give it a shot). Now let's see how DDo treats me after this break.
