I've noticed a problem with my DPS.
1) I either die too fast to spend the combo points I spent building (without Rapid Setup of course), which is problematic as my combo builders do not deal damage.
2) The enemy dies faster than I can build a significant amount of combo points on him, and then detonate it.
This makes me feel kind of gimped compared to other rogues whose combo builders themselves deal actual DPS. I wish there was a skill point that made charges automatically detonate when you or your target died, but I doubt that would happen.
That being said, I do feel like I have a lot of utility with my silence/snare bombs.
I also have a ton of AOE damage, but it is hard to use the AOE damage because:
1) Targets die too fast to build combo points/detonate in team fights.
2) I die too fast to get a proper rotation off in team fights.
I'm sure there are Saboteurs out there who are successful, but I have trouble feeling like a legitimate threat most of the time (even when I'm topping the charts in killing blows, it's because I used a lengthy CD to kill steal a target that was almost dead anyways).
