The lfg tool for dungeons is a little wonky also. Pretty much most of the dungeons I have been put into have been missing a cleric and usually a tank. Thing is there were only 2 dungeons that I couldn't complete so far without a healer and/or tank. Those 2 have been the werewolf and the green dragon ones.
The archlich dungeon ended up with me (thief) and a guardian finishing the boss after everyone else died before 50%. Last night I did the dwarf dungeon with the frost giant boss and it was pretty doable without a cleric. It was easy to die if you got caught in a bad knockdown, but I lasted till the giant was at 15% and the remaining 2 people were able to kill him.

10 from dex, 5 from base, and 1% elven.
My 40 rogue has 26.9%. crit.
5% base, 3% feat, 9% attributes, 8.9% crit rating.
Do you see the problem?
each damage multiplier is independent.
But crit % all rolls together.
So base damage, skill damage, str bonus, crit damage, combat advantage, direct damage buffs= total damage
So when you add 1 str, you are increasing 9 to 10.
When you add 1 dex, you are increasing 49 to 50. or something like that. a drop in the bucket.
each point str is significantly more impactful.
Str increases your damage across the board. 1 point gives more damage then cha or dex.
its also not situational. it gives more, and gives it all the time.
Dex gives crit, which is nice. but again, unless you take the executioner talents each point is very much worth less the each point of str.
Cha gives CA bonus. again, situational.
Secondary factors.
str gives stam regen and dot resist.
dot resist is meh. Stam lets you roll out of melee attacks more.
dex is aoe resist and deflection. aoe resist doesnt mean much, since you do need to fully avoid most. deflection is at .5, CHA gives deflection at 1 per.
So really. DEX is the least useful of the 3 main stats for rogue. Str is primary, cha is number 2, and dex is third.

I only ran the "ogres in a row" foundry once, cause I was a couple levels behind my main quests somehow. Doubt that any company stupid enough to not prevent this from happening would be smart enough to have a way to track who did it.
Problem I have with boss fights as a rogue is mobility. Rooted combat, limited dodge, slow as fuck run speed, most skills have a long wind-up, and mobs big abilities need more cooldown. Would be nice if dodge wasn't limited by stamina, iirc DDO has the same dodge, but it's free. Probably a pvp thing, as usual, ugh. Might be better to take away the stamina requirement and just slap a 1-2 sec CD on it.

at 11 i have 21.6% crit. on level up i gain .6% crit last level, if that hold true each level we will see what happens.
My PUG group beat it 2nd try, just have to realize that killing adds takes priority over everything.

Listen, dickface, I have zero problem putting the work in. Banging my head against the wall with a pug in a mid level dungeon that should be fucking puggable is not work, it's fucking pointless. Yeah, sure, maybe I can get lucky and join a pug that's more competent, but I could also go back to solo questing and outlevel the fucking dungeon in the same amount of time.

And yeah, I'm raging a bit, I'm already ticked off about the stupid Foundry nerf, not because I was using it to powerlevel myself, but because I was designing a campaign, one of the reasons I was even looking forward to this game, and now that's pretty much wasted. And also because during that Dragon run the fucking client crashed on me a little ways after the second boss and when I logged back in it put me at the start of the dungeon so I had to run back. The last thing I need is for someone to call me out like I'm some lazy casual newb fuck who wants everything handed to them.
I have to say that the combination of the way healing aggro works and boss fights with lots of adds isn't very PUG-friendly. Seems that more often than not, the cleric will spend most of the fight kiting/tanking adds.
Raes, what compels you to continue playing a game that you do nothing but bitch about and rag on? You've basically said the game and devs are complete trash, yet you keep playing and posting about what a shitty time you're having. Why?
