    Default Help on RS/BD/AS AoE Grinding

    I'm currently lvl 34 and I'm having trouble holding more than 3 mobs at a time. My DPS seems to be lacking a lot. Here is my build if anyone can help me out I'd appreciate it.

    I picked more RS because seemed like more survivability would be more helpful compared to a little bit more dmg. Idk if I should only go the 13 into RS then max out BD it just seems like the DPS wouldn't increase enough to make me survive more.

    Can you tell me the reason why you picked stealth bonuses from assassin?
    Is great fortitude better for rift scavenger?
    The armor bonus better than attack power?
    Combat efficiency seems like a waste if it only gives like 10energy per kill.
    Also why would I waste a point in that sprint ability?

    Sorry if it seems like I'm being a jerk to someone trying to help but I just dont understand that build.

    seems to be more the style you are going for. right now leeching poison will give you more survival than those extra points in rs.

    faster movement while stealthing = mandatory while leveling

    more hp while leveling = amazing

    until you are in full epics... yes, by a large margin since it scales with gear which at lvl 34 you do not have
    Combat efficiency seems like a waste if it only gives like 10energy per kill.
    energy per finisher, not kill, it's mandatory for all dps besides marksman unless you love drinking tablets
    Also why would I waste a point in that sprint ability?
    so you can run away super fast and not die? imo, you should try this build out before you judge it
    Sorry if it seems like I'm being a jerk to someone trying to help but I just dont understand that build.
    put it this way, if you understood that build, you wouldnt be here asking the questions in the first place

    Is there a lvl 50 version for Rift Farming?

    I saw Hoko's BlinkBlade, but from what I've read through some of the thread, it is a Hi end Raid specc?
    Is there modification for low geared (PvP geared) that I can use to just farm?

    I levelled my dude with this build, and canned it since.

    Now when I am aoe grinding, I actually use my pvp build (which has rift scav in it). 40nb/26rs (please don't turn this **** into a BUT 44/22 IS WAY BETTER DUDE).

    I am wondering how this build would have compared to the bd/rs/as. It has more defensive cds and a freaking self heal, but you lose all the stealth buffs. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but NB aoe > BD aoe. I actually havent compared the numbers, but aoe SoD is hilarious

    the 20pts in rs can be moved around for aoe grinding, the other points are just fine, you can easily pick up 2pts of the cp pt heal ability without lowering ur dps much, take the 1 spare point from rs and the other from bd and you should be set for aoe grinding, tho the build works fine as it, u just have to drink sometimes is all

    actually blink'blade aoe is higher than nb aoe due to deadly dance, but they are close otherwise so just a preference here, and sod is good burst.

    I remember when I started this game, as a Rogue, I appreciated it for its difficulty in solo play where you couldn't just indiscriminately pull big groups of mobs and AOE them down like in previous games I played. It's funny how these things sort of slip away from you even as you wonder what bit of the game's original magic you feel like you've lost.

    Sorry, not meant to criticise, just reminded me.

    What do you mean you couldn't?

    I should have clarified: I meant while leveling, like the OP is. At launch you'd be hard-pressed to run in and consistently grab 4 or more level 34 mobs without dying at equal level.

    edit: also I was speaking somewhat relative to other classes. Warriors and Clerics were doing what that Rogue did except with invasion elites, and in less time.

    Guess my experience was different. I played Rogue in Beta long enough to figure out a level spec when Headstart began. In the vid i have T1 weapon and 2-3 pieces of T1 gear, rest is quest level 50 gear and a Sigil of Five with green/blue drop essences. I could pick up 4-5 mobs np and kill them.
