Another observation I made during that run. The group was doing a real good job of getting aggro before Galreth could even target the mob :blink:. Since it was the casters/ranged guys doing it, mjdoom couldn't get a good placement to build aggro. It becomes even worse since many people run away when they get aggro, instead of standing still or running to the tank. So I would Ambush/Backstab, get aggro real quick. Let the mob hit me a few times while Galreth positioned and got some aggro, then Feint to toss the mob onto him.
Unfortunately, since the group never let up, it only worked about half the time. The other half it went right back to the caster. I would just like to point out my reasoning for attacking like that, so that other Rogues can try it, and casters that see this know what to do (nothing :P) if they don't want aggro again. The times it worked was really nice, I took a little damage but had a stable mob to easily hit Backstab on in trade.
Oh yeah, that reminds me. Backstab Rogues hate mobs that switch aggro. Sometimes I would go 5 seconds after I tried my first Ambush before I actually got a hit in, because the damn mob was jumping between three people and I wasn't behind the target.

Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
