Thought I put it in there after the two /shrug was half awake when I responded.

I've never found safehouse useful but I haven't played with it enough maybe.
5 points in Savvy because resists are always handy, .......

I edited roughen to show 3.

Also since I finally have some time I wanted to put why I don't do as you suggested in the rogue tree. (Mind you this is just personal pref)

1. I know how many points it takes to get to the B/A endline however, imo debuffs > sneak, cheap shot, savvy
2. Jagged blade isn't a waste imo
3. I do use hideaway on incoming and in emergencies so the faster recast tends to come in handy since i tend to have a lot of emergencies
4. Safehouse is awesome. Has saved my ass many times.
5. I rarely cast sneak or cheap shot (unless solo) so the points aren't worth it.

edit: in regards to casting order.. i do normally double up b/a with enfeeblement and rake or strike, its just since our debuffs can miss now I tend to make sure it lands first on important mobs before deciding what to do.

1. I agree in general about debuffs, just never sure at which point cap is being exceeded (due to other clases debuffs stacking, purple poisons, etc)
4. I guess I just have to respec again and play with it some more. Haven't had it in a very long time so I have never tried it during a raid.
5. Even more so then should pull some of the points out of cheapshot then. I understand you need to put some in to get the 20 points for safehouse but why not baffle 5?

I know a lot of things are personal preference but since this is the semi official "how to be a brigand everyone must read" thread it does merit some discussion.

I have baffle at 4.. i never cast it though unless i have nothing to cast between auto attacks.

I use it all the time for same reasons you use hideaway (I use that too).
Besides doesn't it proc POM as well?

After looking at Safehouse again and more closely I think your right. Just respec'd and can't wait to try it next raid.

Hideaway Procs POM but baffle does not.

Good to know.

Ok so yeah, love Safehouse. It's kinda like AR; you can't rely on it but it just might save you a couple deaths.

Safehouse has a very amusing bug that you get to see every once in a while... see if you can find the "I AM GOD" scenario and tank 16 EPIC's X4's for 30 seconds SOLO while laughing your ass off in guild chat.... I did, and it was funny..

Hello:

I only began playing 3 days ago again since i only played for a couple months after the game came out and now i am back. I like a lot your post but i am having a ton of problem with the Brigand AA's part cause i seem not to find the ones you mention there on that tab. Sorry if its a noob question but i have been tryinto figure it out since yesterday.
