So, I was curious to see if a rogue could be a tank so I built one. My answer to that question is kind of in a non-traditional sense. Note: All the info below is for a level 75 rogue. This rogue is melee and relies entirely on crowd controls. To start, this build uses immortal daggers with crowd control stats such as stun chance although if you find something better please let me know. I stacked some hp regen and some mp regen because most of the time you will be using your spells. I have been wanting to raise my endurance to at least 100 but I haven't found dex armor that gives you end and does not take away from hp regen and other key stats.
Without gear:
8 str
96 dex
73 end
5 energy
With gear:
19 str
117 dex
87 end
16 energy
Skills:
Large Pouch (4) - The extra potions are helpful but you could probably only put 3 points in this if you want
Acrobat (10) - Dodge is important in this build. Its not necessary to stack but its good to have some to take less melee damage.
Round House (10) - Does great damage and stuns mobs. This is your most useful spell.
Assassinate (10) - Spam it on boss fights
Debilitating Grenade (10) - Great to use after the first Round House on mobs
Poison Studs (10) - Good for when you get hit and against archers
Bloodlust (10) - This is absolutely necessary. HP and MP per kill
Thief Arsenal (10) - Since this is a tank build, this is not entirely necessary but its good and there are not many alternatives worth putting points into.
So, how do you play this build? In mobs, start with one Round House and then throw a couple Debilitating Grenades in. Spam Round House to finish them off. You should also use the stun fairy. As I said above, in boss fights, spam Assassinate. In short, the strategy is stun and kill. So, this is a very effective tank build but if anyone can find a way to get more endurance in so you have more total hp please do not hesitate to post. Thanks.
