Yeah, on my personal Endgame build I went rogue first level for the skill points etc. The one I posted was tweaked for Epoch and his hatred of rogue... Allowing him to be more Dps focused right out the gate. My human build at endgame has epic traps and some locks, max move silent, hide, and balance along with 39 umd unbuffed.

It's only taken me 5 years to get the build the way I want it from the days before everyone had a batman, through going for AC finally to it's present state with more Dps all target dps and wide versatility. Maybe now I can move on to another concept

Indeed, the way I levelled my human I had 1 monk level, but I went Human instead of halfing for the skill points with the option of going back to monk, I tried it for a month at endgame and Pally gave more (longer divine favor and better smites) for how I run. Halfling would offer better Sneak DPS for sure and more AC but would be tough to fit all the action points here I want them

I love it when you join a pug and you're eating a bowl of cereal and you're kind of taking your time and you're still halfway through the quest and they're trying to catch up. It's like what the fuck are you doing?

ROFL this sounds like it would be HILARIOUS. What server do you play on?

I ran with Sergod so much that it doesn't phase me anymore honestly. Rage just makes me laugh and then I intentionally do things to make people rage.

Ask Ben how many times I let him get down to like 10% hp just to hear him rage about me not healing him :X

I hate barbs just as much as rogues.

That's why I created an alternate account with two bank characters.  One character is exclusively for scrolls that aren't available from vendors and the other is for metal blank weapons so that I don't have to crap up my character bank on my crafter when I find a bargain on the AH (two Silver Khopeshes for under 10k last week!).

How can I be satisfied with dps when 99% of the time I am going to have aggro?

Oh, I can't.

Blind stuff runs around, which annoys the fuck out of me.  It is for a TR, and I tend to level with random people joining my lfms so I can watch them die and laugh as they cry about me red skulling the dungeon.  Also, not grabbing their stones.  Backwards is not the way to completion.

My guild tends to not keep up with me while powerleveling.  Most people don't.

I think a few of you are missing the point. He hates rogues. He doesn't want to play a rogue. He doesn't need advice on how to be more rogue-like, he needs a build that he can play like a non-rogue. I mean, my main is a rogue and I love them, but it's like telling someone that they'll like chitlins if only they will try them. Chances are, if they don't think they will, they won't.

So looking at the boobies, I'd dump cha and wis and put int at 10 if you don't give a damn about traps. You should have enough for scrolls up to level 18 with an item anyway. Max strength and put an extra couple points in con. You could consider doing 6 levels of fighter instead of just 2 for the extra fighter toughness and strength, but that's shit you can play with. Rogues generally depend on sneak attack for damage, so if you don't want to mess with that and plan on having aggro, you'd damn well better max your strength and put more into con. For skill points, I'd put points in spot too since it's just nice to be able to see the lurkers. If you want to dump int, you might have enough skill points anyway for what you listed, I haven't checked.

Ha! Nailed by the word sub! I don't think Epoch is going to be a rogue long enough to really flaunt charismatic boobies though. Unlike me.
