Whats Power of Blood? I dont have that on my rouge

[kutsuu03]

@666WolfLover If you have the Warden's Keep DLC, you'll get that ability.

Explain your willpower in your chest? please. I just got awakening so perhaps willpower is all thats useful for a rogue to rune with? Also, got any crash problems with Awakening? Mine crashes A LOT, uninstalled it and started over with a rogue on DAO and use patch 1.2 and it doesnt crash at all.

Help needed from everyone, since patch 1.03 crashes your game how do I prevent this? I know Awakening automatically installs it..

@Direksone i put willpower runes on my chest for stamina. base WIL is not enough to maintain some sustainables in long battles. shadow form drains your stamina real fast.

how about for a cunning rogue: 1) Cap of the Nimble instead of Helm of Honnleath and 2) Blackblade Boots instead of Wolf Treads and here we are with a total of 58% spell resistance counting The Spellward Amulet, without any bigger sacrifices made =) There might be a good option to change Felon's Coat for Vest of the Nimble for better cunning but it might be good to keep Felon's anyway for a better overall protection. awesome build overall. might respec deft hands for the last in bard line :P

[kutsuu03]

@ElhartKane last bard talent is pretty useless since you get immobilized. i just put the last remaining talent points to deft hands because i have nowhere else to put it.

how do you get shadow radicalization?

[Norocmorth]

@YangBalanceYin thats if it actually hits him

[Norocmorth]

going a dwarf actually provides you with better attributes as rogues don't use the +1 magic humans give

[Caeluth]

One other thing that's worth trying, is to put the Voice of Velvet in the offhand weapon slot and equip Vigilance (having chosen the "flexible and nimble" and "sharp as sharp can be" options for forging) as the main-hand weapon. I had to put a few more attribute points into strength but it resulted in an increase of main hand damage, and my crits jumped up about 50 damage points. I think it's a slightly slower weapon though, but with a few Momentum Runes I think it's a good choice of weapon.

[Caeluth]

There are just 2 things I would change on your character. Cap of the nimble (or Quicksilver) > Helm of Honnleath. Also, if you have the Golems of Amgarrak DLC and can finish it on Nightmare difficulty, then the High Regard of House Dace > Spellward. Otherwise it's a great setup.

question, how do you get that helmet in awakening. I got it in orgins, but when i start playing awakening i always get that stupid gray warden helmet, and the helmet is compleatly gone from my inventrory :(

WHATS CUNNING DO EXACTALY SRFY CAPS

[smackedinthejaw]

I have like 50 dex (including boosters) ATM with my DW rogue but still seem to get hit alot and miss alot of hits myself. 

[YangBalanceYin]

Pretty good but balance between CUN and CON with most going to CUN. Looking at this, one hit from an Ogre would hurt...

[Vend1cator91]

your constitution is pretty low !
