Rogues Riposte Strike - how to make it work :)

[Istar]

Okay my alternative rogue is going to take this at L11, just to up his chance to get crits in encounters, as he is basically a crit fisher.

Due to some unusual abilities he will THP to burn, as well as a lot of tanking skills, so getting hit more is not a big concern.

Any idea's on how to bump this up.

1. Isolate an enemy and hold him in position so his only option is to attack me.

2. Can you move while in melee to trigger an OA to be able to use the Riposte ?

3. Use the incredibly over powered Avenger level 16 Daily untility "Refire the Forge" to get dex mod HP back per hit on an enemy, could be 35hp per round with blast attacks. Use "Epic Trick" to have it twice per day.
Which will give the Rogue the HP to stay in melee and use Riposte Strike aggressively.

I don't think this will work since the riposte is an immediate interrupt and you can't take immediate actions on your turn (PH p. 268, the last sentence of the bullet point "Once per Round" under "Immediate Actions").

Since you're talking about using an avenger utility power, I assume your rogue is multiclassed avenger? If so, you could consider taking the avenger feat Oath Strike (Divine Power p. 136) which allows you to mark the target of your oath of enmity power until the end of your next turn, giving him a greater incentive to attack you for a round.

Fight your enemy with another character with a similar ability to force lose-lose situations. Another rogue with riposte strike, a character with the WLR/WLMR (d374) feats, a dark pact warlock whatever.

Or isolate a ranged attacker if he attacks you riposte him, if he runs OA, if he shoots someone else OA, only shifting can save him, so you need a way to prevent shifts.

Okay I found through an internet search the answer.

"Vigilante Justice Style" feat.

If they attack back any of my allies adjacent to me, then the Riposte triggers, how good is that.

This is like having Twin Strike.
