How is that even possible?Meanwhile, one of my bros just went vanilla int assassin and is absolutely cleaning house in r10s. /shrug
The answer is the same as what I posted before. He's a great player who knows how to rock melee.How is that even possible?
"Is the person behind the keyboard good or bad at playing rogue?" gives the answer to if rogues are bad or not. Rogues do well, I can't speak for the OP playing one or not.
Good point, cleaning house in a measured way:How is that even possible?
2 arti 18 Rogue and you will absolutely TEAR stuff up with an inquis build... just mind the lag when you instantly steal agro from everyone/anyone in partyIs the Rogue class just utter garbage? Why?

They did kinda screw with stealth play considerably imho.I used to enjoy playing rogue a lot before champs, reaper and aggro changes. I loved stealth play, single pulling of mobs with Bluff.
Heck, I used to Bluff a mob I was actively engaged in melee with, stealth then assassinate them.
There was an old school rogue video on Youtube of stealth play soloing Elite Sins of Attrition that impressed the hell outta me and taught me A LOT.
I cannot recall when the aggro and bluff changes happened with regards to single pull but one day it worked and the next day after that update it didn't.
So, I just stopped trying. Didn't try to re-gear or figure it out. Was just too aggravating.
It felt like when they took away Monk poison immunity to make their Menace of Underdark drow poison attacks shinier.
Stealthy play and Bluff single-pull tactics would make their Reaper mode less shiny so effed it up good and proper.
Can Reapers even be pulled with Bluff? Do you have to have Charisma as maxed Main Stat and Bluff and Ins Bluff gear etc etc. to even..."pull" it off?
IMHO, INQ is a great way to self-nerf what would otherwise be a pretty decent bow or thrower ranged at cap. I do understand the attraction: INQ is chock full of nice features, making builds very easy. A little extra planning and you can play INQ sub-29 with bow|throw 29+. Best of both.2 arti 18 Rogue and you will absolutely TEAR stuff up with an inquis
This is another reason I'm irked with INQ at cap: SSG *still* has not fixed -threat and imbues. So, they steal agro, making their low DPS even more annoying and killing self-improvement because most don't know about the threat bugs with INQ; they just think "I'm pulling agro, my dps must be really good".just mind the lag when you instantly steal agro from everyone/anyone in party
Yes! I use bluff regularly to single-out Doom's. My builds usually have Bluff skill maxed for this, but rarely do they bother with CHA (maybe a 12 or 14 diamond if there's space at cap). Fully geared with CHA is the most reliable, but it's still pretty reliable with just skill + one item (these days a fair number of things include "improved deception +20", which is bluff+20 with improved deception).Can Reapers even be pulled with Bluff? Do you have to have Charisma as maxed Main Stat and Bluff and Ins Bluff gear etc etc. to even..."pull" it off?
me too! That player had dual Wounding of Puncturing rapiers and would swap a chattering ring quickly to make noisy steps to shift them. Crazy cool video.I used to enjoy playing rogue a lot before champs, reaper and aggro changes. I loved stealth play, single pulling of mobs with Bluff.

I've run an INQ/PM hybrid on HC. INQ is just astoundingly good sub-cap and PM adds immortality once you're L15. It doesn't even require much gearing to play sub-reaper solo or reaper-grouped as a 1st life.inquisitive .. on hardcore and have a great time with it.
And you’re a top tier player.Edit: (disclaimer)
I have *most* past lives, all my ED and Action points, maxxed reaper exp and extremely good gear.
