Who has two thumbs and stealth solo'd the Cleric of Asmodeus in Fardelver's Crypt after the rest of the party ragequit? This guy.

I don't know about actual Crit percentages, I have heard a lot of people say to stop getting Crit once you get around 50% but do not know the reasoning for this so I can't really comment. However, there is a point of diminishing returns for Crit rating score which begins around 2000 if I recall correctly and gets really…

Hi dbb2003, I took Brutal Backstab and Deadly Momentum myself, in part because if you are in a group with another trickster rogue and he or she has taken Critical Teamwork you gain no additional benefit from taking the feat yourself. Personally, I would aim for the "soft cap" (the point of diminishing returns) in this…

A few observations I've made since the big patch: 1) It stops being worth it to stack Recovery once you hit the soft cap (the point where you start getting significant diminishing returns) around 2900 or so. Since I've already hit the soft cap for Critical too, my goal for the time being is to focus on hitting the Armor…

Heh, I only have Rank 5 Silvery Enchantments myself. I've been playing around with different gear sets so much I haven't had the time to save up for anything better. Right now, I have the full Battlefield Scavenger's set, two Thickgristle's Jagged Daggers (with Rank 5 Silvery on both), Insignia of the Sovereignty (Rank 5…

Oh, absolutely. The value of Recovery for a rogue is multiplied if your shadow dummy is actively beating pounded on. LOL Which just reiterates my previous conclusion even more: Recovery is much better for this build than Power or Armor Penetration, provided the player is aware of the fact that much of the DPS potential for…

Quick update. I just spent the better part of an hour performing a battery of 5-minute practice dummy tests using the following rotation: Stealth/Duelist's Flurry/Bait and Switch/Duelist's Flurry/Gloaming Cut spam/Shadow Strike/Duelist's Flurry/Gloaming Cut spam/Bait and Switch/etc, popping Lurker's Assault as soon as it…

Another thing to consider is that Dazzling Blades is not currently working properly. It typically procs for me between 3 and 6 times per rotation cycle, which would making pulling this stuff off immensely easier once it gets fixed.

Quick update, guys. I am now at 2985 Recovery (22.1% increased recharge rate). My Shadow Strike is on a 13.1 second cooldown and my Bait and Switch is on a 20.4 second cooldown. Thanks to this, I am now able to successfully pull off a Duelist's Flurry after both powers against the practice dummies (although the timing is…

Hi oregonize, The fact is you're gonna have to prioritize Recovery and/or become very skilled at dodge rolling to make a rotation like this work. I personally prefer the Lashing Blade rotation I mentioned in one of my more recent posts as it gives Bait and Switch an extra second or two to recharge (also, it gives you a…

Hi Banelorne, I have a 9.2K gear score with a 4/4 Battlefield Scavenger's set (for the stealth bar set bonus) but I think what is probably doing it is the fact that I have an Ioun Stone of Allure as my companion with Rank 5 runestones slotted in (including a +120 Recovery runestone and +7% stats runestone). None of my gear…

Hi Banelorne, Due to a few recent changes, my rogue currently has a 1313 Recovery (11.4% recharge increase). This puts my Shadow Strike on a 14.3 second cooldown and my Bait and Switch on a 22.4 second cooldown. Even at those numbers and spamming Gloaming Cut, I am dropping out of stealth about 0.5 to 1.5 seconds before…

Hi Banelorne, Great guide! I had a blast using this build in PvP. I do, however, have a suggestion for using the build in PvE scenarios. I have been testing this build out on the practice dummies in Trade of Blades. I found that provided you have around 1000 Recovery (I had to swap in a few Silvery Enchantments to make…
