Message: <blockquote data-quote="RenZhe" data-source="post: 6717110" data-attributes="member: 6802115">[h=2]Advanced Optimization Guide[/h][h=3]Universal Knowledge[/h]Every rogue player should know these basic tricks of the trade.[sblock=Frostcheese]The Big Idea: Easy perma-CA combo + one of the biggest static damage boosts in the business. Unless you're doing an esoteric build, this should be your default package simply because it is the gold standard to beat.Key Items: Frost weaponKey Feats: Wintertouched, Lasting FrostOptional Support: Icy Heart, Gloves of Ice, Siberys Shard of Merciless Cold.Optional PPs: Winterfury (Barb), Soaring Blade (Monk, Heavy Blade) to replace item-dependency on Frost Weapon.[/sblock][sblock=Deadly Storm]The Big Idea: Easy perma-CA combo + at-will slide control. Requires a dragonmark.Key Items: Lightning Weapon or Ki FocusKey Feats: Mark of Storm, Deadly DrawOptional Support: Eberron Shard of Lightning.Optional At-Will: Riposte Strike is a great way to slide away and prevent attacks.[/sblock][h=3]Archetype Optimized Build Concepts[/h]The three tried-and-true ways to be a good striker are a) critfishing, b) charging, and c) multi-attacking. It just so happens that the rogue has signature ways to access all three, which we discuss here.[sblock=Crit Fishing]The Big Idea: Basic critfishing, the rogue version. Rogues did this before it even got cool, and it is worth a ton of DPR even just by itself.Key PP: DaggermasterKey Feats: Two Weapon Fighting, Two Weapon Opening.Optional Support: Crit boosts (Ring of Giants, War Ring) and any other damage boosting package. Access to MC Avenger or Borrowed Confidence + multi-attack powers.Optional ED: Sage of Ages for some massively awesome double-rolling.Additional Notes: At this point in the metagame, a Bloodiron weapon, which is generally considered a strong option, is largely inferior to frostcheese in terms of raw damage. When considering damage packages, always compare against the gold standard.Sample Builds: See below[/sblock][sblock=Charging]The Big Idea: Rogues charge as competitively as any other charge-focused striker. Ridiculously powerful DPR option (DPR-king tier damage!) in heroic, and steadily increasing throughout all tiers of play.Key Proficiency: Rapier (via background) or Shortsword + Shocktrooper PP.Key Feats: Surprising ChargeKey Items: Charge Kit (Vanguard/Thundergod Rapier, Horned Helm, Badge of the Berserker)optional PPs: Shocktrooper, Kensei, Warforged Juggernaut, any +Charger PPOptional Support:Boots of Adept Charging/Boots of the Mighty Charge, Marauder's ArmorAdditional Notes: DM-permitting, I prefer going Reincarnate Champion in order to access Gnoll feats to charge with an encounter power. Regardless, you should pick up a multi-attack power and use Boots of the Mighty charge to delivery a sick nova.Sample Build: Stahl Hunden[/sblock][sblock=Permahidden]The Big Idea: Permanently maintain the hidden status, being untargettable and forcing additional extra attacks via OAs. This is actually a complex configuration that deserves its own mini guide.Step 1: Getting the combo off the groundKey Rogue Talent: Cunning SneakKey Item Support: Means of gaining Concealment. My preferred methods are Phantom Chausseurs (L18) or Armor of Dark Deeds (L14+) or Shadow Band (L27), though you can also MC Assassin, take a feat, and use an enshrouding candle.Recommended Feats: Improved Cunning sneak.Recommended Items: Assassin's Cloak (roll twice for stealth), anything with an Item bonus to Stealth, Shadow Master Ki Focus (big damage boost).Optional route: Take Traveler's Harlequin PP, MC both Assassin and Warlock, then take Cursed Shadows.Step 2: Remaining hiddenKey Powers: Any power that allows movement as a separate action after the attack. Deft Strike + Ghostwalker Style or Piercing Strike + Criterion of Balic Practice. Eldtrich Strike + White Lotus Master Evasion. Note that attacks such as Gloaming Cut and Acrobatic Strike will not work, as the attack/action used to break hidden cannot be used to remain hidden.Key Feats: Shift boosters (Risky Shift, Mark of Passage)Step 3: Lay on the OAsBasically, you're now have a reliable means to get hidden, and remain hidden even after attack. To really crank the DPR meter, you want to look at getting your target to provoke an OA from you.Recommended Race: Pixie (Park on top of their square). Half-Elf or Revenant is also strong for other tricksRecommended Theme: Yakuza (huge boost to hit and damage for a hidden-OA build)Recommended Powers: Persistent Tail (Stealth U10)Recommended means to re-stealth after an OA: Heavy Blade Opportunity, Opportunistic Sidestep or poach an MBA from a different source (Eldstrike + WLME, Overwhelming Strike).Optional Items: Strikebacks or Antipathy gloves (if you're a parking-pixie)Optional PPs: Champion of the vigil, DarkstriderAdditional Notes: Try for a way to get a fly speed, since permahidden with flight thwarts tremorsense. This combo also works much faster as a hybrid, since the quickest and earliest way to get perma-concealment.Sample Builds: See Below[/sblock][sblock=Riposte Catch-22]The Big Idea: Milk Riposte Strike for a double-attack every turn by guarenteeing that the target cannot do anything other than trigger the Riposte one way or another. Mark of Storm + Deadly Draw variant allows you to immediately negate the attack coming your way.Key At-Will: Riposte StrikeKey Items: Frost or Lightning WeaponKey Support Feats: Frostcheese or Mark of Storm + Deadly DrawRecommended PPs: Tactical Warpriest or Gladiator ChampionRecommended Support Feats: vigilante Justice Style, any good Riposte augment, Mark of FindingRecommended Race: Pixie (once again, park on their square with antipathy gloves)Additional Notes: Antipathy Gloves with Gladiator Champion make it virtually impossible to an enemy to shift at all once adjacent to you. Consider a Feyslaughter weapon as a backup against teleporting enemies. On a Lightning build, consider forced movement boosters to ensure the interrupt negates the incoming attack with a slide.Sample Builds: See below[/sblock][h=3]The Specialists[/h]Perhaps you're looking for something beyond the standard archetypes? For some off-the-wall build ideas here's a few notable build combos and build stubs to get you off the ground.[sblock=Arena Champion]The Big Idea: This is a very specific race/build/PP combo designed to work around the ability to use Bluff attempts in conjunction with Arena Champion's 16F in order generate a slew of basic attacks.Note that the attack generated is any basic attack, and many of the bluffs work at range, so an RBA-based build will also work along fine.Key Race: ChangelingKey At-Will: Deft strikeKey Feat: Daring PerformerRecommended Support: A theme or other methods of gaining additional bluff to gain CA attempts, RBA support package if you going that routeAdditional Notes: Have you perhaps considered hybriding or poaching in order to gain another class' MBA/RBA? Cha-based Sorc or Warlock along with arcane support makes for an extremely potent combination. This also gateways into white lotus master evasion, for stacking a perma-hidden package into the equation as well.Sample Builds:HeatherSaturday Night Sorceror[/Sblock][sblock=Hit Penalizer]The Big Idea: Inflict a -8 hit penalty on hit at-will, all day, everyday.Key At-Will: Deft StrikeKey Weapon: Mindiron CrossbowKey Support Feats: Draji Palatial Practice, Disheartening Ambush, Underhanded Tactics, Psychic LockAdditional Notes: Use a Headband of Intellect if you can. Also consider hybriding with a defender with a functional ranged mark (paladin?) and mark of warding.[/sblock][sblock=Push and Slow]The Big Idea: Push 5+ and Slow for a very potent disable at-will.Key At-Will: Piercing StrikeKey Support Feats: Raam's Maw Practice, MC Fighter, Hindering ShieldKey Support Items: Push enchancers (Gloves of Ramming, Ring of the Ram, Rushing Cleats, etc)Additional Notes: Be a (dead) Dragonborn and pile on Draconic Arrogance to add +Str to damage yet again. Or be a Dwarf to be able to use a hammer + Overwhelming Impact to at-will daze in epic.[/sblock][sblock=Ridiculous Weapons]The Big Idea: Take advantage of nontraditional Rogue weapon options for some hilarious lulz.Key Race membership: Dwarf/Mul/Revenant DwarfKey Feats: Tunnel Stalker, MC FighterCharge Package: Eternal Defender + Gouge + Charge KitDaze Package: Hammer + Overwhelming Impact + Slowing mechanismAdditional Notes: These take a while to get there, but pay off something nice in epic. Consider also a Warden|Rogue/Son of Mercy chassis for the latter hammer daze build.[/sblock][h=2]Sample Builds[/h][h=3]Archetype Builds[/h]I wouldn't call these representative, per se, but these selected builds below are some of the more colorful applications of a standard rogue archetype that set a comfortable baseline for a solid, no-nonsense rogue play. Note: the item selections associated with these builds are also very minimalist - they're well within the projected wealth for their level, but I'm very lazy when it comes to calculating item budgets, an took the minimum items necessary to get the build up and running.[sblock=The Daggermaster]Classic Rogue Daggermaster, been around since PHB1, and still good as ever. I've decided to showcase an Artful Dodger as it synergizes well with the fact that the Daggermaster has no need to keep a high Str score for weapon mastery. No AD build-specific tricks were used here, however, and obviously you can go Brutal Scoundrel and it will increase your DPR further.Two interesting pieces here worth showcasing on the expansion to the main build are that:1) This is a Revenant Tiefling, which gets us access to Secrets of Belial in order to poach Borrowed Confidence, for a round of double-roll crit-fishing every encounter. If you don't plan on playing this race, you can just as easily MC Swordmage instead of Bard and powerswap into Borrowed Confidence instead.2) The selected ED here is Sage of Ages, whose 24F is essentially another double attack roll every turn for more crit-fishing glory. I highly recommend this ED for Daggermasters if they can qualify for it (requires any MC arcane).[sblock=Lv 30 Rogue/Daggermaster/Sage of Ages]Race: Revenant (Tiefling)Rogue Tactics: Artful DodgerWeapon Talent: Rogue Weapon TalentMulticlass: BardParagon Path: DaggermasterEpic Destiny: Sage of AgesAbility Scores:L1 – Str 10, Con 12, Dex 20, Int 12, Wis 8, Cha 12L4 – Str 10, Con 12, Dex 21, Int 12, Wis 8, Cha 13L8 – Str 10, Con 12, Dex 22, Int 12, Wis 8, Cha 14L11 – Str 11, Con 13, Dex 23, Int 13, Wis 9, Cha 15L14 – Str 11, Con 13, Dex 24, Int 13, Wis 9, Cha 16L18 – Str 11, Con 13, Dex 25, Int 13, Wis 9, Cha 17L21 – Str 12, Con 14, Dex 26, Int 14, Wis 10, Cha 18L24 – Str 12, Con 14, Dex 27, Int 14, Wis 10, Cha 19L28 – Str 12, Con 14, Dex 28, Int 14, Wis 10, Cha 20Feats:L1: BackstabberL2: Light Blade ExpertiseL4: Melee Training (Dexterity)L6: Two-Weapon FightingL8: Improved DefensesL10: WintertouchedL11: Two-Weapon OpeningL12: Lasting FrostL14: Superior WillL16: Icy HeartL18: Bardic RitualistL20: Two-Weapon DefenseL21: Secrets of BelialL22: Superior InitiativeL24: Martial MasteryL26: Epic FortitudeL28: Epic ResurgenceL30: Epic WillAt-Will Powers:L1 – Sly FlourishL1 – Piercing StrikeEncounter Powers:L1 – Dazing StrikeL3 – Low SlashL7 – Startling OffensiveL11 – Critical OpportunityL13 – Stunning Strike (replaces Dazing Strike)L17 – Tumbling Strike (replaces Startling Offensive)L23 – Steel Entrapment (replaces Stunning Strike)Daily Powers:L1 – Press the AdvantageL5 – Compel the CravenL9 – KnockoutL15 – Profit from Weakness (replaces Press the Advantage)L20 – Deep Dagger WoundL29 – Deathweaving Strike (replaces Compel the Craven)Utility Powers:L2 – Agile RecoverL6 – Swift ParryL10 – Acrobat's EscapeL12 – Meditation of the BladeL16 – Anticipate AttackL21 - Borrowed Confidence (Replaces Anticipate Attack)L22 – Leaping DodgeSkills:L1 – AcrobaticsL1 – IntimidateL1 – InsightL1 – PerceptionL1 – StealthL1 – ThieveryL18 - ArcanaRecommended Magic Items: Frost Dagger +6Rhythm Blade Dagger +5Cloak of Distortion +6Starleather Armor of Dark Deeds +6Diamond Cincture (paragon tier)Eye of Awareness (epic tier)Iron Armbands of Power (epic tier)Ring of Free Time (epic tier)Ring of Tenacious Will (epic tier) Gloves of Ice (epic tier)Siberys Shard of Merciless Cold (epic tier)[/sblock][/sblock][sblock=The Eviscerator]Hardly ground-breaking, but here we take a barbarian-esque approach to striking: start with a solid baseline striker chassis and just build a set of good powers around it.

One key note about this build is that it uses Lightning/Mark of Storm/Deadly Draw as its CA-generator, which gives a slide 2 on all attacks so that either of the Riposte or the mark-punishment OA can outright negate attacks. Against enemies that teleport, it swaps to a feyslaughter weapon to stuff that mode of movement.As a variant of this, doing a frost build instead of deadly draw (same feat costs) adds another +14 DPR, which will get you over the .5 KPR mark.[sblock=Lv 30 Rogue/Shock Trooper/Destined Scion]Race: Thri-KreenRogue Tactics: Brutal ScoundrelWeapon Talent: Rogue Weapon TalentMulticlass: ClericParagon Path: Tactical WarpriestEpic Destiny: Destined ScionAbility Scores:L1 – Str 18, Con 11, Dex 18, Int 8, Wis 13, Cha 10L4 – Str 19, Con 11, Dex 19, Int 8, Wis 13, Cha 10L8 – Str 20, Con 11, Dex 20, Int 8, Wis 13, Cha 10L11 – Str 21, Con 12, Dex 21, Int 9, Wis 14, Cha 11L14 – Str 22, Con 12, Dex 22, Int 9, Wis 14, Cha 11L18 – Str 23, Con 12, Dex 23, Int 9, Wis 14, Cha 11L21 – Str 26, Con 13, Dex 26, Int 10, Wis 15, Cha 12L24 – Str 27, Con 13, Dex 27, Int 10, Wis 15, Cha 12L28 – Str 28, Con 13, Dex 28, Int 10, Wis 15, Cha 12Feats:L1: BackstabberL2: Light Blade ExpertiseL4: Nimble BladeL6: Initiate of the FaithL8: Mark of StormL10: Deadly DrawL11: Weapon Focus (Light Blade)L12: Vigilante Justice StyleL14: Improved DefensesL16: Superior WillL18: Reserve ManuverL20: Deft BladeL21: Light Blade MasteryL22: Superior InitiativeL24: Martial MasteryL26: Epic WillL28: Skill PowerL30: Resilient FocusAt-Will Powers:L1 – Riposte StrikeL1 – Piercing StrikeEncounter Powers:L1 – Dazing StrikeL3 – Low SlashL7 – Startling OffensiveL11 – Battle CryL13 – Darting Strike (replaces Dazing Strike)L17 – Tumbling Strike (replaces Darting Strike)L18 – Darting Strike (replaces Battle Cry)Daily Powers:L1 – Press the AdvantageL5 – BloodbathL9 – KnockoutL15 – Bloody Path (replaces Bloodbath)L20 – Battle PyresL29 – Kiss of Death (replaces Press the Advantage)Utility Powers:L2 – Sneak in the AttackL6 – Ignoble EscapeL10 – Counter StepL12 – Battle FavorL16 – Slip From the GraspL22 – Indomitable AgilitySkills:L1 – AcrobaticsL1 – AthleticsL1 – InsightL1 – PerceptionL1 – StealthL1 – ThieveryL6 – Religion Recommended Magic Items:Forked Lightning Ki Focus +6Cloak of Distortion +6Starleather Armor of Dark Deeds +6Diamond Cincture (paragon tier)Iron Armbands of Power (epic tier)Eberron Shard of Lightning (epic tier)Feyslaughter Dagger +5Shielding Blade Dagger +5Rushing Cleats (heroic tier)[/sblock][/sblock]</blockquote>
