The easiest and simplest class to play?

Botb winner on red was a barb boulder rogue and he was crushing people

boulders are underrated but I dont know if there are discipline mechanics that enchance boulder damage or crits

its pretty insane from what I remember seeing on red where the OP shit tends to surface more obviously

That makes sense, I was imagining entirely from my bluebie experience. I can see a time when you'd want fast ranged damage that approximated bad melee dps for your level

*but*

What is this disc that you would use for throwing boulders?

Counterattack Discipline--Allows you to perfectly time your counter attacks, riposting every incoming blow.
Deadeye Discipline--Focuses your vision on you opponent, vastly increasing your hit rate.
Nimble Discipline--Increases your combat reflexes, allowing you to avoid most attacks.-
Kinesthetics Discipline--Increases your combat sense, allowing you to dual wield and double attack every round.-
Blinding Speed Discipline--Focuses energy into your arms, increasing your attack speed.
Duelist Discipline--Increase the damage done by all of your melee attacks. [100% increase]

None of these look great for using on Throwing rather then on melee, I guess if you combined Blinding Speed and Duelist (does Duelist even affect ranged? it says 'melee' damage, whether that means 'not spell damage' or 'melee combat' idk) together you could throw them pretty fast (21 delay? https://thesafehouse.org/forums/foru...blinding-speed) for the afore-quoted ~200 damage on your crits?

It's been a very long time since I've grouped with a 55+ rogue, and even longer since I've been one, but iirc by 59 you're very easily doing 200+ damage per "attack round" of 2-4 hits, and faster than 21 delay for sure, without backstabs and without having to be behind the target for your crits to fire, and without spell haste or disc.

I know posts like this can trigger peeps' AnGeR At ThE nEwBs but I'm not trying to argue that I'm right. Rather than evidence "against you", above is just my experience. I'd love someone to describe for me a time they used Throwing Boulders as a rogue rather than melee. Why did you and how did it go? Extra points if the answer is "because it was hella fun"
