And a fighting style that is at its best when right amidst your foes (flanking). The number of times I've seen rogues run in take their sneak attack and then get rended or dogpiled before their next round...From observing other people play them there only seem to be two effective combat strategies.1. Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack.Get into the flank take a single attack then get straight out of there.2. Impoved Initiative, Quickdraw, Point blank shot, Rapid ShotCatch them flatfooted for massive damage then snipe ineffectually for the rest of the combat.Am I missing something. Are there other valid strategies without having to have 18s in a couple of stats?</blockquote>
