[QUOTE="Undrave, post: 7828646, member: 7015698"] If you want to know about Rogues you should just ask Jocat. [MEDIA=youtube]4FX_2UevHbE[/MEDIA] But more seriously the Rogue is, IMO, one of the best class in the game. Easy to optimize for damage, they have a TON of defensive abilities and they got their awesome Cunning Action, more skills than anybody else and EXPERTISE. Personally I'd really want to give the Mastermind a spin (you can use the Help Action as a Bonus Acton from 30 feet! ) but I mostly like support roles. Crossbow Expert is a pretty potent feat for a Rogue I think. I played a Warlock once but I'm not sure how optimized it was... considering I was playing a Gnome Blade Pact Feylock who waded in Melee, protected only by his 16 DEX and At-Will Mage Armor (16 AC at Lv 3 baby!). It was fun, but I don't think you'd find my damage output worthwhile compared to a dedicated Eldritch Blast build. An Eldritch Blast Warlock is essentially a Magical Gunman and you can keep your Spell Slots for utility spells instead.
