Othell rogue - heavy?

Othell Rogue Started Last reply 7 posts
The bonuses for heavy armour are pretty much the same as light. With heavy i have 500 more pdef, would this be a good advantage?

There seems to be a bug in the superior light armour mastery passive where the str+2 isn't taken off when you aren't wearing light armour. The only thing i'm really concerned about is the evasion+15, -35% chance to receive crit, and the assassins reflex (doesn't really matter since i'm elf and am almost always maxed out anyway),

Since rogues already die easily i'm wondering if the ++pdef is worth the increase in chance to receive crit
Stop asking for Warrior Harmony.

Problem solved.

Stay in light armor.

I always get knight, actually.
Not sure why you think you have bad pdef then.

Remember, evasion will never be good while fighting light red/dark red mobs.

Pick your spot according to color.

but my point is +500pdef ALL the time is a better bonus than "-35% chance to receive a critical hit"

the STR doesn't decrease, the armour bonuses are pretty much the same, evasion is useless in this chronicle anyway, it just seems like a better way to go

Care to elaborate?

All PVP is skill spamming, evasion is useless as it doesn't evade skills (or if it does it's not noticeable in the slightest).

The -35% chance to receive a crit hit only applies to normal hits, so a constant +500 pdef for EVERY hit is unbelievabley better than a 'chance' to not get a normal crit hit against you. Everyone who uses a skill against you will do less damage because you have more pdef.

I don't understand why every rogue isn't running around in heavy, i feel i survive a LOT more with it
