The Dilemma of Rogues

[Rinnhart]

It's not a matter of having just one viable build for dagger rogues.  It's the fact that to get your dagger skills up, you have to invest in 3 seperate trees, and the only chance for a top talent is sacrificing a point somewhere and getting Vigor, and 10 energy seems a waste when most skills cost multiples of 20.

Some classes I don't know well at all, but it seems to me a Dagger build is the only build in the game that wants you to invest in 3 seperate trees.  Instead of the best talents being spread out over one tree, you're taking talents you don't necessarily want at all just to get to ones you do.  As a mage, I want the Arcane abilities.  So I go Arcane/Fire.  As a paladin, if you want defense, you focus on Protection.  If you want healing, you focus on Holy.

I'm not arguing viability of any of these builds.  But in most examples I can think of, a character focuses on one tree while going to the 3rd or 4th level in another tree.  The 3rd tree is usually completely ignorable.  Why waste any talents in it, it's preventing you from going higher up elsewhere?  A dagger rogue doesn't really have that option.

Dunno if you've tried Vigor, but all the rogues I know who have it love it. *shrug* I don't know personally, of course.
