Well after seeing that SA doesn't scale in autocrit, I'm a lot less motivated to play a rogue.

You do know you can use guild curse pots even when raged right?

Unless of course you just like having two different sets of pots on different timers.  For those that dont know, they are.  THIS IS HOW NOOBS GET THROUGH INFERNO, SO STOP FUCKING DYING IN IT!

Feels good to get that out every now and then.

Yeah, I know.  Sometimes I suffer from slackassitude though.  I think I have guild pots, but I'm really not sure, so boots come off.

Even if the SA damage won't scale with the new helpless change those epic mobs will melt under your attacks.

As soon as you get your radiance weapon soloing anything with sneakable enemies won't be any trouble.

Before that you can get along with good dual deception weapons (they work on rednamed too).
Or you let your hireling grab aggro, assassinate everything one by one and switch to deception again for the boss.

If you go assassin you get a free double (triple->doublestrike) instakill with a DC37ish fort save at lvl 20 every 15 seconds.
Even in elite amrath quests it lands quite often on orthons/devils, and it works pretty reliable on the casters in there.

Add inherent vorpals at lvl 18 to that and you won't look back to fighters or rangers.


Beware: May cause heavy addiction to sneak attack damage.

Playing a barbarian for 1000+ crits right now sounds a lot more appealing.
