Hi, everyone. I would like to ask fellow Rogues (or anyone else who feels the urge to comment) their opinions on this build.
I'm level 44, currently using a stunlock build. CS, Gouge and KS with my damage coming from SS with Sword of Serenity and an ending 4-5 pt evis. I really think Ambush will be important come Battlegrounds. With large-scale PvP, getting mass amounts of damage out before the target realizes what's going on will be crucial in the inevitable chaos that will be Battlegrounds. So, here is my idea.
Casters: Ambush+Gouge+SS+CB+Evis
0 secs: 100e
0 secs: 40e Ambush - 3 CPs (Initiative and SF, if the Ambush crits)
2 secs: 15e Gouge - 4 CPS
4 secs: 35e
6 secs: 55e
6 secs: 15e SS - 5 CPS
8 secs: 35e CB+Evis
For melee I could either use something similar to above, do my current stunlock, or just deposit my DOTs and crippling poison, back off and watch them die. I don't feel like writing out those three options. My main point is too show how quickly I could conceivably bring a caster down. I've seen it done with less than that but I'm being realistic and not counting in crits on the Gouge or the SF bug proccing on the Ambush.
The battle plan can be altered. Here's the meat of my post, the build.

It's basically a hybrid between my current build and a traditional 8/30/13 BS/Ambush build, sacrificing the BS talents (double meaning intented). I am not a fan of BS. Positioning is too hard, especially with lag and other factors outside of my control. In a perfect world it may be superior to SS but it's not a perfect world so SS FTW.
I've heard of people being able to set a Stealth set of weapons and a non-Stealth set of weapons that change automatically as you enter/exit Stealth. I'll use a dagger in main and slow sword/mace in off for Stealth and switch 'em for non-Stealth.
I think that's about it. Please comment and criticize as you see fit. Actually, if anyone has some numbers comparing BS to SS, that'd be cool. I haven't seen anything I'd call accurate. Thank's in advance.
