that would have killed him.... lucky...
Oh an rogue dirt kick sucks too by the way, was blind the entire fight, sure it might have been because I was fleeing, but I was disadvantaged and inferior.... should I have stayed in the fight?
rogue dirt + weapon/combat style trigger change = cheese win.
at that point your best bet is to flee, let him murder again if you get lagged,and flee right after he murders. the lag of you fleeing should wear off before or as his does, at which point you can blind run until you can see to quaff recall.
Thats right post a reply to one log, ONE LOG, and use it as your heavenly example to say that rogue are fine. Because sidestep did a number on someone too stupid to get rid of dirt an effective way.
Oh but wait. Lets think about this.
Sidestep = 2 round lag?
Unreflexed Dirt, fought smartly = 3-4 rounds long?
Blind fighting and two or three uber defences?
Ooooh dearie me.
Now what happens when you get into the "who can switch/skill" worst argument? The warrior wins every time. Switch/hobble bs versus rogue is gg. Proven by all the thieves that gave up after dying 3 times in 30-40 minutes. If it hasnt happened to you, you just havent met a warrior that knows about it yet.
Its funny you consider blind fighting so great, because the moment you're blind and staying in combat is when a rogue should be switching to weapon/combat superior for a double advantage getting in more damage by overcoming defenses, and getting extra autoskills for every sidestep. Or am I wrong and blind fighting also allows you to switch weapons and shields without being able to see them?
Also, anytime they're blinded from dirt they can just dirt kick you back to prevent you from using clobber/uncanny.
There's more detail involved in the myriad of ways that you don't know what you're talking about, but I don't need to post that here when you're still in the "I think I'm the expert on rogues because I killed someone at the 39th rank" stage.
This is Esura by the way.
'someone too stupid'
But why, when you can just overbear a sword? Now a thief has to wear an exotic and all he can do is a crappy uncanny attack, or disarm fails, and your opportunity to switch/hobble is usually just a matter of waiting for the thief trying one of those shitty options, since his dirt is going to be out while he's still in the lag from them. Oh yeah, and if you hobble the thief, he can't even use his weapon t ype skills. That means he has nothing left, and can't dodge. Its like that scene in spiderman, "Bonesaws got you for two rounds, two rounds of PAIN, oooh yeah!"
As for type IMO there is too much variance, you get your dirted clobber in and it disarms maces that way even, so that kinda forces you onto swords. Luckily uncanny attack sucks. Even luckier, you can just prevent the clobber totally with your double/hobble, since that disables thief skills.
