Quote:Too much free time at work so I´ve been looking at old posts. Does anyone have link to a saved version of this page? The posted link no longer works. If not, I´ve heard that someone claimed the CAT-rogue to be the most efficient way to level. Can someone tell me what it is?
Generaly, CAT rogue is rogue who play on versatility. She is using bow as well as Dreamflange and CC. All depends on present monsters and your current mood.
When you enter dlvl with Doomguards and Succubi, chainlightning will do best. So you switch to RC (THC) + Dream and you act like angel of furry. For Dlvl 15 with Doomguards + Soul Burners, a bow is a good choice. And Balrogs with Azure Drakes can taste your triple damaging CC.
Again, it is about versatility. If you depend entirely on power of your bow, you do well but ... youre slow. CAT rogue can clear dlvls really fast, if the proper setup is chosen. Also, its good for keeping fun in play. Since you change your playing style, your not bored so fast as with *always the same* characters.
BTW:
Its not just about the items named above. Sometimes, you have to adjust your other equip as well. Its nice to hold Dreamflange in your arm, but if you do not have enough + Magic adding items, your spells will just hit surounding walls. And if you dont have enough ToHit for CC (it can happen even to rogue) you will swing your CC in the air. In these cases, all advantages of CAT rogue are in dust.
