Rogue Equipment

[Swifty1515]

Hey I am just curious to read peoples opinions as to what the best equipment for a straight up rogue is. So far I got the legendary hunter helm and bracers and they seem to be working really well for me although my secondary is not hunter it is nature. I have heard that Achillies spear is the best weapon but I still want to hear people opinions on all the gear placements. Despite your secondary class I would like to hear your views on the best "rogue" items. Thanks You!

well someone is eventually gonna do it so why not me
ofc theres the brigand who really LOVES the spears but also id use the spear as a base weapon for almost every build except warlock. having a bow as a secondary is cool too.

i know people like alexanders spear but im not a big fan of that. i prefer a normal spear of annihilation(or something better ofc but dont underestimate this one) socketed with a legendary peng claw that gives 25-45 damage and +20%damage. that will heavily outdamage achilles spear.

btw if you have a str build(and i always recommend these) imo ares wrath is the best legendary. not only does it deal more damage(due to the 5% more piercing, more for a rogue) it lets you whirl around your poison! and it keeps you alive

theres one spear worth of notice. people never look at epic items but imo thats a bad idea. Penetrating Spear of Ko k'Bi has 50% piercing and pretty nice stats. additionally it has average speed making it VERY strong. stronger than most legendaries for sure. at least it deals more piercing damage than achilles. the high pierce value works especially well with lethal strike.

usually id use pretty much the same setup on a rogue as id use on a hunter that is
conq bracers
athenas battle greaves
alexanders cuirass/armor of achilles
ancile/shield of the korybantes
2 apollos will
trackers hood
Pendant of Immortal Rage/aphrodites favour
secondary bow if wanted:Bow of Herakles or again a peng claw socketed bow

ofc thats endgame equipment and needs dedicated farming or cheating.

now for a ternion/poison based warlock or any other caster based rogue build id go for usual caster stuff

Calypso's Cover
2 eye of horus/if build is fire based 2 Seal of Hephaestus
aphrodites favour
Archmage's Diadem
Archmage's Leggings(all caster based legs suck but 150 life are nice)
Archmage's Clasp
random staff, depends on buid.
fire build: Hades' Scepter
lightning: Cacudeus
cold: Fingerbone of Boreas
no focus: Cacudeus or chromatic staff

also have a secondary staff ready to max your summons

nature: Staff of Elysium
storm: Shikigami / Fingerbone of Boreas
spirit: Hecate's Rod
earth: Eye of Osiris / Summoner's Rod

There are 2 sets availabe for the Rogue:-

Rogues Cover
Assassins Cover

IF you can find them. At lvl 38 I've got 2 pieces of the Rogues and 1 piece of the Assassins.

the problem is that the rogue sets dont really rock. they support poison damage , if youre a poison build a few of these might be worth it. otherwise they pretty much randomly give a few skills and very low resists. apart from the poison damage nothing really worth noting

Yeah, I guess you're right.
There is a +1 to all Skills in Rogue Mastery but, I agree, not much else.
