Hi folks,
With the exception of a massively cheating win back in the mid-90's, this is I think my first character to get below DL 80. HE rogue. Was feeling pretty weak until recently- in my last trip finally got 2x RoS+10 and Thorin. Doing my best to save consumables for the end fights. I'm doing better on !Healing than on ?Banishment or ?Destruct. I'm only CL 37 so I suppose I still have some grinding to do to get some more levels/HP.
Anyway, comments/advice on kit choices, what to sell from the house, etc would be much appreciated.
Char is here on the ladder
