That sounds interesting but I'm not sure how useful it would be for someone in brig. I feel like Stealth or Evasion would be a better armor spec to use. Partly because putting more points into armor use isn't worth it for my character atm.
FINALLY! I have no idea why it wasn't like that to begin with!
So I could finally fight golems and undead and not feel like I'm wasting my time. That is a nice addition.
Hymore is a ambushing UCS rogue. I hide a lot so this is great. Nice!
HOLY HELL! Seriously? Passive Shadow Mastery!? And I could spam silent strike? I might just switch over to silent strike from striking asp stance. 1 sec aimed punched cost 39 stamina and the stance makes them 13 stam for a small time vs 20 stam per silent strike. Not sure which is better. Might need to crunch some number and figure out which maneuver work better.
Never did ranged with Hymore but I'm happy to see crossbows getting some love. They were always weaker than bows. Ranged is strong but always had an annoying upkeep.
This... could change everything. Having to leg everything (except sirens) was something that made life hard for Hymore. I have no idea what maneuvers to take now.
Those changes are amazing. What made them suddenly give rogues all this cool stuff after years of nothing? I need to crunch some numbers...

I'm not sure which is more amazing, that there is a GM that loves rogues or that they hired someone new! That's wonderful news! I always felt like squares got the short end of the stick with... well everything in the game. If you didn't use magic, you were out of luck.
I think I'll pass on the paid events if I come back. Its too expensive. Even the fees to into the premium events is too much. Spend some time away from the game to let the fog clear and you realize just how overpriced this stuff is. I'll probably still do Duskruin but only because I like the arena fights. A 50 count book should be more than enough.

it's not a huge change for brig in terms of the CvA, but the ability to outright avoid any spell cast or attack is pretty nice (you have to evade an attack first, then you have a chance to outright negate the next spell/attack after that for a short duration, has a 30 second cooldown or something). You get a % of the cva difference based on the armor you're wearing, 50% of difference for cloth, 30% leather, 10% scale. So really not much after leather.
Light armor mastery is a PASSIVE, it's not like the other ARMOR things where you can only have one on between support/fluidity/etc. So you can use evasion/stealth AND have the light armor mastery benefits (they also decreased the costs for evasion/stealth so you can more realistically learn one of the actives, plus LAM)
Waylay is REALLY good. At cap with 2x ambush and high endrolls, you can do 300+ damage on a single attack. This is not unique to rogues btw. Also note that since you're UCS, you would need to use a weapon to waylay since it isn't UCS compatible (you can waylay with your fist and still do a crap ton of damage, but it would help to use a weapon to get the dramatically increased AvD.)So I could finally fight golems and undead and not feel like I'm wasting my time. That is a nice addition.
It's very nice, i think with 3 ranks a tiny race can hit any "normal" sized thing in the head.Hymore is a ambushing UCS rogue. I hide a lot so this is great. Nice!
And it's not that expensive, rank 1 of shadow dance (which just makes mastery passive) is only 4 CM.HOLY HELL! Seriously? Passive Shadow Mastery!? And I could spam silent strike?
