Hi,


Kintoun already addressed this issue in http://www.nurfed.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=715

Please look through the Previous Kintoun, Lord of Rogues posts before putting new ones up. Lord Kintoun is an extremely busy individual and he stresses out horribly when he must write the samething more then 2 times.

Have pity on him please, he gets very angry and hits stuff when he is frustrated.

Kintoun,

Do you think Ruthlessness and Relentless Strikes are more important than Seal Fate for a solo sword/mace Rogue?

I'm currently at 34 and just about to start putting 5 points into seal fate for leveling simply because when I used a finishing move in solo PvE, I have no need for additional combo points as the target is usually verily slain at that point. It seems like I would be better off building up the 5 point eviscerate more quickly off of the Sinister Strike crits?

Does that change significantly in the 40's and 50's?

You can respec to seal fate but if you concentrate on the assassination tree you won't be leveling as quick as with the combat tree at lower levels. By the time you get seal fate and the other required combat tree skills (parry, dodge, sini) the build you really want to use becomes just as viable and you can respec.

Thanks Kintoun,

I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something by putting these next 5 points into Seal Fate rather than Ruthlessness and Relentless Strikes. All other things being equal, Seal Fate looked like a better talent to me but I haven't had a chance to actually use it before.
