Re: Lvl 185 lock rogue help
#2I prefer dex with str from gear.
The reason I prefer dex when using a lock rogue like that is you can maximize your 'attack' so you are going to have a higher hit chance. Which is very important especially on the first couple of hits because on a lot of mobs those hits account for who's going to get the lock.
Still want some strength through gear for -
Sneaky attack + Quickstrike
MAIN SKILLS
1. (Shadow strike)
2. (Sneak attack)
3. (Quickstrike)
4. (Poison weapon) Good for carrow
Buff with 4 before the boss spawns.
Sneaky or ss to start. I'd do ss/sneaky/qs
Double attack is also a very viable skill! Probably include it.
Some ideal gear would be.
A wyld sun ammy for the skill to increase dmg = higher lock chance
Shadow strike gear.
Direct skill damage gear.
Ex. Occult armour
Attack gear.

#3For lock rogue you want Dex and cunning. If ur not using do use breastbone gloves. Alch boots bp and pants. You’ll want haste offhand. And if ur using dagger then despoiler dagger. If not then go Dex spear. Skills shadow strike quick strike and lifesteal as your primary skills. Double and sneaky as secondary with your remaining points in poison wrap
