TR PVP Rogue 2 Guides, need help deciding

ireap3r

As my title states I've been looking through the guides for TR on the forums, so far, for PVP. I'm interested in these two

and
http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?197301-Trickster-Rogue-PvP-Stream-and-Info-Guide-%28attempt-atleast%29

Basically they're fairly the same, so I assume these are the way to go, but which would be better?

Also can someone list which class, dailies, encounters, etc, they stick with mainly in there hotbar? If more than one person could reply to this it would help me, deciding which two passive skills I should use, thanks

Most of this depends on how you want to play rogue in pvp. Most people fall into one of two camps:

1. Melee assassin who kills people via stealth very quickly.

2. Heavy control via dazing/smoke bomb who take more utility. This camp also generally takes more defensive abilities.

These play pretty similarly really but they would choose different passives and slightly different encounters. Hopefully someone who plays pvp more than me will reply soon.

(1)That's what I'm wondering, as I'm a bit confused, I've usually played Melee DPS/rogue type classes. I'm always looking for the best way for most single target damage. The first category. If you could point out which passives, and any other info pertaining to this?

(2)Also when going executioner, the feat speed swindle seems like a pretty good feat to put points into from the saboteur build, rather than the usual points in underhanded tactics from the scoundrel tree Any recommended feat points to acquire to help with a max dmg/stealth, pvp build?

If you are wanting to just try to gib people then you'll want Shocking Execution, Lashing Blade, Impossible to Catch, Sly Flourish and Dazing strike/Smoke Bomb probably, with Tactics and Skillful infiltrator for passives. That takes all our hardest hitting abilities, a CC breaker/immunity and a stun. This leaves out quite a bit of utility that you could take though.

Speed swindle effectively gives you ~20% run speed bonus on your target (depending on how it calculates) so that can be pretty useful. Really though you should try some pvp without speccing all of your feats and see what works for you. No matter what someone tells you is the right way to do something for pvp, if you aren't having fun or can't do it their way then it's pointless.

So far I've been doing what you said, just wanted more of a confirmation

I believe the 20% is only useful if you are stacking Movement speed on gear, if not 20% to a low amount is little. Also I think the duration is only like 3s, I believe people would have already Dodged far away lol

Anyway, I'm thinking of trying Shadow Strike and Dazing/Smoke bomb, so I go into stealth for speed bonus to start chasing and then go in and Shadow Strike to dazed them, it also refill Stealth, Lashing strike for confirm critical, and then dazed again with smoke bomn

For feats I'm thinking of going

Seems best for PVP besides the speed swindle I changed my mind and will be going underhand tactics? Any suggestions?
