Help in creating a high level rogue in Awakening

SpiritWarrior · 03-31-2010, 03:48 PM

Should I just go with soley Dex and Cunning and perhaps a little STR for armor (like 23 str)? The reason I ask is because I rarely have enough Stam to perform my cool moves like whirlwind etc.? With 50 some points to spend it is a little daunting, and a bit easier to make a gimped char. I am going for an Assassin backstab-happy type, with combat stealth and the talent that lets you add your Cunning to your dmg. What is a good Stam to start out with in Awakenings? Also, should I keep Con at a bare minimum?

You need a lot of Dex (54 I think) for those high level rogue talents, so if you want to use them plan for that. I don't put anything in Con, with a high Dex and evasion very little is actually going to hit you anyway. I think I had Willpower at around 20ish. There are stamina potions in Awakening, and recipes to make them, so high WP is not so essential. I put some in Str, simply because I like to dual-wield longsword and dagger, but if you're going daggers only then the only consideration is the high tier light armour which I think needs 22 Str. Bung everything else in Cunning, and take the lethality talent.

I would not go for stam - as the stam pots in awakening are much better than the mushrooms you can chew from Origin.

Okay thanks. I may gear a bit for stam because I like to be self-sufficient and not have to pop pots just to perform my abilities. I'll see how it goes, just starting the XPac now.
