Invisible Blade/Rogue Builds

Post by Waldo52 » Sat Dec 31, 2022 10:45 pm

Are people playing these? I find the feat tax to be really drastic. How would you build one?

The best idea is to add Fighter. Extra AC, extra feats, epic weapon spec.

Decently popular builds exists. 19 rogue/5 IB/6 fighter.

Interesting. I was hoping someone figured out a build that worked with more rogue levels for good grenades but that seems like a tall order.

Invisible Blade aims at fighting a long period of time with melee, which can hardly be done with a deep rogue alone. Even though grenades are excellent to deal with special enemies, they are expensive or hard to make.

One of such build I've made it 8rogue/5 IB/17sd. With a shadow and hips, you can survive many hard enemies and enjoy the recent trap updates

Rogue 13/IE 5/Monk 12

1) Epic dodge high AC imp expertise thing
2) That uses whirlwind to put lots of bleeds
3) ????
4) ????
5) Great build with something to contribute in relevant situations. QED

Does anyone have any experience of whether Invisible Blade is actually any good or not compared to other builds? The bleeding wound mechanic isn't as straight forward compared to other class mechanics so I find it difficult to imagine how to compare DPS.
