So what you're saying is, AGI over 75 is only useful to keep AGI over 75? AGI over 75 is still useless, though.

I'll just let the wheels in your head keep spinning, I have faith you'll get there on your own.

You're wrong about Instill Doubt and you're wrong about AGI. Throwing insults around won't change anything.

It honestly depends on how Haynar coded it. ID used to function like that on live. And yes, AGI to save your AGI is good to have, but it's not worth gearing for. Rogues get so much AGI without trying to stat for it.

[Samoht]

I seriously just got ID to fire on blue while BS was on cooldown. He's just talking out of his ass.

[Cecily]

There's a reason for him to say that and it's possible that the skill fires off at a lower rate while backstab is on cool down. I'm actually with you and I don't think it makes a difference. It's hard to be certain on P99 mechanics though. They change / break so often.

You can't parse a barrel roll. #dwarflife

On live rogue get an AC bonus after level 30 for excess Agi. Prolly not the same here.

Any AC gains you get from AGI are negligible at best, so you should not be gearing for AGI at all. Besides, you shouldn't be getting hit much as a Rogue, anyway. You have no aggro management tools like taunt or spells, so you'd suck as a EXP group tank, and a lot of hate inducing weapons aren't even Rogue useable.

You're not going to be clutch-tanking on a raid, either. That's what knights (and Rangers in Velious to a lesser extent) are for. But if you did have to, dodge/riposte disciplines would override the need for armor until a Warrior/knight gained aggro, anyway. If you're tanking for longer than 12 seconds, something has obviously gone horribly wrong.

[Cecily]

Gonna go ahead and disagree there. I'm not a typical case, but I can tank anything in Sebilis on Cecily decently. Backstabing off puller and 41% VP weapons (Nightfall & Feverblade) make for pretty amazing threat. For raids... clutch-tanking those 12 seconds of disc are enough. I've saved several raids with nimble tanking. The extra AGI might... make the dragon miss you once or twice out of disc too. That's important!

[Samoht]

Sigh. Of course a rogue with a VP tanking weapon can keep aggro when (if) it procs, but you still lack snap aggro (taunt/spells).

And you're still not going to be stacking AGI for it.
