Advice on pure DPS build

I am pretty happy with my build as is but am debating using a skain set instead of godly sneaky charm.
Also would switching to mordy str spear increase dps?


Full DL
200 haste dagger offhand
200 lux dagger main hand

I use 200 lux regen ammy
Godly sneaky charm
3 lv200 valor rings
2- 80 hrung 300 cunning cuffs
1 80fire dmg hrung ring
Any thoughts?

I think you might of forgot there are other stats besides strength.

Other useless stats.

Switch your ammy for a wyld sun ammy or stargem cold damage/str ammy. Forget skain sets.

Mordy halberd is better dps while on a heroic haste.
Just quick swap to a dagger to use sneaky attack then back to spear.

In place of that damage ring put on another valour or a godly emberdrake ring or a high tier necro ring.

Sorry I guess I forgot that pure dps means full str builds. I guess I also forgot that with low attack you miss more frequently and that doesn't effect dps. I guess I also forgot that rogues with no hp die a lot faster and that dead rogues and rogues death penalty put out ridiculous amounts of dps. Damn my goldfish sized memory!!!

Your statements aren't factual. Pure dps is maximizing str AND cunning AND attack AND dagger ability(auto damage is a result of high dagger ability and str.). You need enough of each and have to know what to sacrifice for what. 5k attack is sufficient in my experience. With that I only increase cunning and strength in my gear. I'm comfortable with my auto damage. With just 3k hp you have enough to survive aoes and as full str with full edl you'll hit that. Anyways you ever heard of a druid?

I don't know about your server but on mine with my setup at 3.4k hp I reach 5k qs, 12.4k sneaky, and 2.5k damage with 5k attack. This is with dl dagger and rondel. I also rarely use pots as my stargem ammy provides regen and with a regen lix up I'm at full energy 24/7 and if you use pots for hp you're crazy. I would outdps people with edl rondel on boss or edl dagger equipped. When you outdps dps rogues on your server in your survivability setup let me know.

OK, first off my original question was, would it be worth it to swap out my sneaky charm for a skain set. Also I mentioned that I was completely happy with my build so far. For A simpleton like you that means I am happy with my stats. I didn't ask for some idiotic suggestion on how to make my stats better because I know they are already good.

Secondly, I have tried literally every different build possible for a rogue and believe me when I say that a pure strength build is by far the best DPS you can get from a rogue.

So next time why don't you try and be a little more respectful in your responses to people's question and they won't have to call you out for being the *** that you are.

Also if this is just a *** swinging contest then regardless of how to tiny you are, you win because I don't have one ;-)

Rogues best dps skills are str based..and i would always make the arguement that skills are going to be more influential than autos.

As vulture said if you can get a wyld sun ammy or the magic rend one (im bad with names k) I would go for that over a skain set anyday.

Now if you cant get one of those ammys I would probably go for the skain set, though you would lose the faster cooldown on sneaky, it would be much stronger from both the str build you would get from the set and the 200 dmg along with it.
