Dev Diary Feedback: Burglar Advancement Beyond Level 50!

[scrubmonkey]

I agree that based on what has been written, burgs seem to be getting major improvements and no nerfs, and that in reality (beta) this is not the case, with caps/nerfs as outlined by brittain above. However I had "heard" that no statistics would be based on percentages come moria, that everything would be a number, similar to how might, agility, will etc work now. I wonder how this, if it is in fact what moria will bring, will factor in and if it will in fact have as great an impact as brit is suggesting.

I hope not. HiPS+Sprint=godly.

That's a VERY interesting viewpoint. This leads me to take a second look at the 4-pc bonus on the Quiet Knife:
"The Burglar’s 4-set bonus builds on Devastating Criticals by enabling a self-buff on the Burglar following Devastating Critical Hits that increases subsequent critical damage."

I begin to wonder about how useful The Quiet Knife bonus will be if it takes a percent of a percent to use... Are devastating criticals based of of our crit chance, or will it be something separate and internal, like the FM chances on Exposed Throat?

I also REALLY hope that the legendary version of feint attack allows you to use Location is everything outside of stealth... This would turn the awkwardly-implimented sieze initiative into some SICK burst potential... and make the stealth skills more viable in raids without the stealth ;P since the danger of getting hit by an aoe and reduced speed are pretty big drawbacks to going old school stealth in raids, and are issues that I feel keep stealth from being useful in raids on top of Mischief being more group-friendly.

For PvMP, it seems like it's gonna be a tough choice between The Mischief-Maker full set, The Quiet Knife set, or hybrid with leaf walker being the odd man out... Can't hardly wait!
