Opinions about the stick build

[Korvel]

Hello all! i am posting this build without an optimal race but as a thought for constructive criticism and help. It must be viable and end game useful meaning being able to solo ee and r1 or r2 and when in party be helpful and why not shine as well.

So here it is.

Layout of build looks strong, only bit I would reconsider is the race as does not really offer much and -2 dex! Aasimar would offer a lot more, would drop some points in assasin to get some of those racial abils, unless a specific reason for going Dragon.
Squishiness is the only issue in r1+ on a rogue and ofc will depend on quest, It’s really all about gearing right for those harder quests at end game, getting as much prr/hp as poss and maxxing dodge.
Only way to tell if end game dps is to post damage numbers and other relevant info such as attack speed, doublestrike, crit ranges/mults, MP, abils etc… at lvl 30, can sacrifice high damage numbers for faster attack speed but those hits still need to do good damage, no good just clearing 1-2k on a crit.

Dragonborn was just because the race in game now i got is dragonborn. i know that it is not optimal and can change. Rogues do not have prr. Monks do. Pure hensin 20 monk has better prr more melee power and can take the whole dodge line for the sacrifice of the sneak attack which will be lower. If not a pure rogue i think one can go 18/2 ftr or monk or even reverse it for 12 monk t5 hensin / and 8 rogue but i do not know the numbers here…

There is as well an idea of pure wisdom monk in falconry tree but i do not own it and i do not think it…
