Help With My Brigand

evilbp · 08-06-2009, 12:37 PM

I originally posted in the General Discussion section and I'm looking to start another alt. I have an 80^th level fury main and an 80^th level necro alt. I want something that is an efficient solo character since I will be playing him on down time. I don't care anything about taking down heroic mobs just general questing and grouping occasionally.

Of all the new toons I have tried I like my brigand the most but I'm having a devil of a time with him just on solo mobs that are one level higher (he is currently 20). I have 1.6 delay weapons (12.2 dps) and using the nuke poison (caustic hemo something). I start off with my ranged combat art and when they get within melee range I fire off my first HO. Then I use Walk the Plank and fire off 1 or maybe 2 backstabs (I'm sorry I forgot the CA names). I currently have 5 points into Walk the Plank. From here it really depends. Sometimes I just decimate the mob and don't have to use my stun and sometimes I do but I am most the time almost half health. I have all quested gear. I haven't twinked him yet, I'm not sure if I will.

This is my first rogue in EQ2 since I have been playing so I wouldn't be surprised if I'm doing something stupid. Do you guys have any suggestions SMILEY ?

The awesome thing about brigands is that they are able to keep enemies stunned for ridonculous amounts of time. I tent to start fights with my debuffs and then I use walk the plank, then i use a backstab, use another stun before walk the plank wears off so that the enemy is still facing away, launch two more backstabs, another stun, and another 2 backstabs.

I know you may not have all of your stuns yet, but just make sure you use walk the plank and chain your attacks and stuns so that the enemy doesnt get to turn back around.
