R/Wd Siege?

Hey...I have been thinking of using R/Wd for siege.

Anyone know if it is any good? Using 75 Wd/ 50 Scout for now.

Don't know any R/Wd personally. I think they're a high DPS flavor of rogue.

When I see rogues against me in siege, I usually don't care much about their secondary. They're all just rogues, except R/K which have a bit more defensive ability.

I believe that if r/wd stat same way as r/k, they can probaly be higher dps AND have higher defense than r/k

R/K is popular is siege because of Holy Light Protection and Strike of Punishment. R/Wd has nothing similar.
Roll as S/Wd instead of R/Wd. S/Wd is very OP in siege. Wd/S is better for siege too.

R/Wd is fun to play in PvE, but R/Wd's biggest advantage - 1s cd off GCD Charged Chop - does not give you much in siege compared to ridiculously OP R/S or tanky R/K. R/Wd is a better tank in PvE then R/K in my opinion.

Wtb better lvl60 and lvl70 elites for R/Wd

R/Wd is very fun in siege, I get accused of hacking all the time. Flame and lighting towers actually help with self heal. The opening attack is very fast with Low Blow, Charged Chop, Throw and Combo Throw not on the same cool down. POWS is a spamable AOE, also not on the same cool down with Low Blow, Throw, Combo Throw. R/S hits hard, R/Wd hits fast.

still think s/wd and wd/s are better for siege, but r/wd compared to r/s is not far behind. as Amberwave said, you can use CC+lowblow+throw+combo throw instantly, you can SP with no fear of getting out of energy, b/c you have CC, and still have the survivability, if you stat like a r/k.

I love playing R/Wd in siege and out of it, Patch Wound helps with attacking and sometimes it saves me from dieing :) I use PoWs to get all 3 of the guards' hp down and usually just have to charge chop the Leader a couple times to get him. I use to never use charged chop because of the time it use to take to cast but now that it's easily spamable I find myself using it all the time :D I would give it a try :)

If statted correctly (like a tank) r/wd is pretty awesome in siege. Just so you know, you get more benifit from hp/defense type stats than stamina type stats. You get a buff based on your DEFENSE and no stamina boosts. You also get a buff for raw pattack (savage power) so take advantage of that. Your dex will be low, other rogues will hit you and you wont dodge so make sure you have enough defense to play that build first.

hmm....If I have low dex, wouldnt that make my rogue skills hit less?

Varg, as a champ with basically no dex stats at all, I can assure you that this is a problem only when attempting to hit people with high dex. NPCs and everyone else in siege it isn't a problem.

All that dodge spam when trying to hit a rogue is very annoying though...

Rogues get more physical attack bonus from dex, so yes. It won't be like you won't have any dex :P, but as darwec said, for pvp you would need more dex one on one with another rogue if you were going to compete with them on the same lvl two heavy dex statting rogues

It is like strength for warden and warrior (less for champion since some/most I've seen go tank first)

Dex stats give better returns than strength for a rogue, yes. But as a rogue, you could stat 0 dex and stat all strength and your loss would be minimal. The dex modifier on skills is negligible, refer to my past posts in the previously mentioned "rogue guide."

R/Wd in PvP is decent if statted offensively. The real kicker is if you stat stam and defense. Throw/combo throw for your ranged attacks, CC/LB for your main hits, briar shield for defense, POTWS for close range aoe, Savage power for frequent PA boost, Elven Amulet for incoming damagw reduction, Wound Patch for a self heal based on a % of your hp. The synergy and opportunity is crazy. Our R/wd doesnt even use hide in siege. Thats how deadly a correctly statted PvP R/Wd can be.

Only 2 good ones Ive met have been Sadakko and Saela. Seen others try...most were kinda pathetic.

Now if sadakko would come here and share his gear and stats... No matter what combo he plays, he makes it OP. UNFAIR!
