Hard to say need some more info, what build are you going with? SWF, TWF, full rogue or pally splash, etc.

What playstyle are you aiming for? Group DPS or solo play. what ED are you planning to use?

[Argante]

TWF Vistani full rogue dps. Solo is always best to build for but I did make the concession of taking Healer’s Friend which will help in groups, esp Reapers. I haven’t thought about ED yet but there are several good options when I do get to think about it. Main points of the build are int to hit/dmg with Strategic Combat from Harper tree, and dps from Vistani and Assassin trees.

Not mapped out the feats yet but Perfect TWF and all prerequisites will def be there.

[Sthax]

think you got the stuff to be able to get around.
I would check out assassin tree further and maybe take assassin cappstone over vistani. Also well build assassinate builds are very effective in reaper etc., but might not be your thing.

you could also switch to staff to get quick strike in your rotation for 20 DS, you dont have to keep fighting with staffs. once activated you can go back to daggers.
lastly, i would try and find an attack that activates sneak dmg on aggro’d mobs. there is prolly on e in the assassin tree.

For feats your looking at.
3x TWF line
1x insightfull reflex

Optional if you have past lives:
1X completionist
1x Sneak of shadows

might spend a feat or 2 on defense like dodge mobility etc.

Havn’t build many rogues so my insight is limited.

Hi,

One question: On which difficulty do you plane to play?
You may have trouble to self heal above R2 and if you don’t take heal amp, healer may have difficulties to heal you.
I’m not as experienced as you but I have observed that heal amp helps a lot especially for melee.

[Argante]

Hi Sebastien. I usually play on R1, I’m only levelling after all.

[Healliona]

Good morning,

So this should be fine, here is a list of repair amp items:

Sébastien.
