Rend?

Basically, what I heard was that Rend, if it isnt maxed and/or with rings, using it would actually cause you a loss of DPS due to the cast time and amount of damage it does over time (a poor amount). It was from Pig so if he could just confirm it that would be great, but some opinions from others would really be great too. Reason is I am thinking of opting out of rend for more skill points in poison wep and fast reflexes.

Thanks very much in advance,

Dark

All strength based skills are a waste of time ATM, maybe with the exception of Assassinate but everything else is pointless.

Dex FTW

Yeah but if you are a DPS what dex based skills are out there to maximise the amount of damage you do? poison wep thats about the only one I can think of

+1.

Dark, the point is dex builds actually increase your damage in other ways. If dex keeps you alive 2X longer than you can do 2X the damage, the added attack will also allow you to reach closer to your maximum damage.

This is extremely misleading . For high end well to uber equipped rogues skills are a waste , for normal players skills are very useful and add to your dps.

agreed, skills only have problems at high levels when you have 1100-1300 damage
