shadow strike is a rogues best friend. even though it dosnt add on the dl armor :/(i think) it is still very useful. i would try and get that if you can. but if not then life steal is great for solo and you are doing good on riposte. fast reflexes is great for maxing. it gives me 500+ defense. sneaky is 50-50 on all rogues. it depends on if you want dps or tank blah blah blah. i personally have a grand sneaky ring that is bound

so i put the remaining points in there. poison wep is great if u want more dmg. i would not recommend maxing poison with fast reflex because it leaves no room for dmg skills. assassinate is kinda good i just used it as a space filler. same as rend and quick. smoke bomb and expose weakness are the same preety much just pull in skill slots if you are helping on a boss. and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD don't put any points in play dead. hope it helps
