Throw and dodge question

HI i have a lvl 60 rouge and i fell in love whit it after the fierst 10 min of playing the class.
how good are throw builds have some points left to spent in a tree and i can get free shurikens when i use the skill but dont know if its better to use smokescreen for its armore shred or if i shuld use that spot for shuriken uppgrades. right now im playing a pure cascade crit proc build and using all the skills that let me get a free cascade trigger. if im lucky whit the crits i can do 8k on mobs and around 6k on bosses whit cascade crits and i have not min maxed my gear yet.

heres the dodge question.
Is it posible to get 100% dodge and if so wuld that be to broken. Whit out min max gear whit dodge crafting i have 51%dodge chance and whit talents and procs i can get around 76% dodge in combat and i have more dodge talents i can get. is it worth to try and get 100% dodge or wuld i try to focus on more dmg oriented gear for crafting

I don’t think 100% dodge would be broken for the simple fact that DoT’s will still end you (stupid necro’s…).

To answer with my thoughts re: dodge: there seems to be diminishing returns on dodge, so while getting from e.g. 50%-60% seems reasonable with some gear, 90%-100% seems to be getting to the silly area. You’ll also do little damage relatively speaking, which isn’t a deal breaker for all but it might not be most exciting.

To answer with my thoughts re: thrown: give it a try yourself. I might do something similar later as I’m curious what a thrown build for a Rogue might be like. Why not tell us how it is, it seems to be uncharted territory; everyone will have a marksman build in a day, and in two more everyone will have a melee build, so why not try something they’re not? I will very soon, so you won’t be the only one.

Sorry forgot to add: standing in town I’m at 72% dodge right now and I do OK, not great, damage. I personally would not want to push it too much higher as the damage sacrifice I might have to do won’t be pleasant.

ok thx for the info im thinking of trying to make a throw build but theres only 2 nodes in both blade dancer tree and marksman tree for throw dmg one in each and they are not so good my main dmg is dancing strike and a node there for throw has a 25% chance to proc on second and forth cast in the combo. and to mkae shruriken good you need a shadow build and it feels a bit clunky to maintain shadows.

Dodge is capped at 80 %, and there are diminishing returns. If you have 50% chance to dodge, then you need to double your dodge rating to get 70% chance to dodge. And if you triple it, you get 75% chance to dodge.

I have never built a dodge character (I m new to the game), but looking at the numbers, I would not go above 2000 dodge rating, that will give you 70 % chance to dodge in a level 100 area

TY. I haven’t looked up dodge much, I was not aware but what you say makes sense with what I’ve seen > 70% dodge.

ok thx then i will focus on dexterity and dmg isnstead. good thing that most of the dodge nodes gives glancing blow aswell so just hope they will be enough and not get 1 shoot.

But with 100% chance to dodge, DoTs would be the only thing capable of killing you.

@Tartos Dodge is capped at 75%. The wiki is wrong & hasn’t been updated.

acording to the shuriken skill its scales of dexterity and it will probebly be better to just use shuriken as main skill insted of using it whit a proc chance on 2 atacks so it feels like the armore shred form smoke cloud feels more usfull for my crit build.

Thanks for the info and the link to the chart.

shuriken can have potential when its lvl 20 and you have put som points in the 2 throwing nodes and craft gear whit throwing dmg but dont know if its worth to go bladedancer for shadows or marksman for the 50%dmg buff for using a bow. i have treid shurikens now for the past 40 min and can see them work if you go the chakram node to get more dmg scaling but thats just what i have felt of testing the skill.

i found a intresting uniqe bow that can work for a shuriken build it converts hail of arrows dmg to poisen and has alot of armore shred both for bow atacks and heail of arrow and its gives flat 107% poison dmg increase dunno if tahts best frolled stats for the pouison dmg or not so gonna try it and lvl a marksman thx to the 50% dmg increase for using a bow
