I'm usually a mage - and I'm not sick of playing mages.
I've half played a DD rogue and love the class - but not keen on my character a whole lot so replaying with new romance, choices etc.
I've also completed an archer rogue as well.
So now I'm torn between a 2h wari or a dual dagger rogue...*sigh* play on hard.
Help me choose please! I know dd rogues are super fun, but lack survivability. are 2h waris fun or not really?
I haven't played a 2-hander yet, but you can make a very survivable DD Rogue, especially if you're a tempest. Choose the right defensive skills like Flask of Frost, maybe Parry, the new Toxic Cloud upgrade that gives you Elusive stacks etc. You could also craft Guard-on-hit masterworks and use the new accessory that generates Barrier-on-hit for non-mages, and craft really heavy warrior armour using silverite to negate the class-restriction.
It would be pretty survivable indeed. And another awesome thing about DD Rogues is that you can have 3 masterworks. Just make sure they're all different since they don't stack. Just some thoughts.
