Vex:Vex works best on a Rogue with a Rapier or a Pistol.  It is good for two weapon fighting with nick, but then you are usually using your Vex on your nick attack and losing it the next round.Topple:Topple is ok.  It is situationally the best against flying enemies who plummet to the ground when you knock them prone, but against walking enemies it is outclassed by the four above it.  One big disadvantage is the disadvantage it causes for ranged allies (pun intended).Graze:A little bit of damage, not enough to write home about.Push:Situationally useful when pushing an enemy matters.  The reason it is better than Slow IMO is because how it can be a force multiplier for emanations and Frightened.Slow:Situationally useful in combats that start with a lot of separation.  Most of my tables rarely see ranges good enough to get a lot of use out of it.</blockquote>
