Hi, I'm currently running a 177 rogue and I'm just wondering whether this spear build would be good vs mobs in the tower? I'm looking to reduce cost of lvling there when I get to 180 or so.
Kind of hard to say...dont know your gear, what lixes your using, if your with a partner etc...I've lvled with both spear and dagger in tower and I've found they are about the same, skills seem to be more effective then anything
Hmm lemme see...

• 150/150 str/dex ammy (Wyldshrine I believe)
• +5/+5 ls/reflex spider charm
• 500 evade brac
• lv150 regen brac (just the normal shop brac, currently working to upgrade this)
• lv150 offhand axe (magic dmg and 120 str I think)
• lv160 bone dagger
• dex commy ring
• haste ring (switch to dex commy ring when lixing)
• other two rings are skill rings, not very powerful at all (+5/+4 ss or +6/+5 ls)

Have 370 str 760 dex 10 foc when levelling and normally 4500 hp or so. With equips ofc.

I use combos and nothing else when levelling. And usually solo.

Lots of general info but so many things wrong also,
Rend and skewer use at lvl 1???? Yes it deals same damage as auto but you miss an auto to cast it lol.
Distract?
Bandage wounds?
Points in focus?
Haste gloves or dagger? Use ring seriously
Too many skills used
Stats wrong

Quick strike is a rogues main skill always max this it's instant and doesn't use an auto so in effect it stacks damage on top of your auto.
Max 4 skills you will use put spare points in 5th of choice qs ss double attack and assassinate with rend for bossing build
For training swap rend for riposte
Agreed with everything save for rend and skewer lvl 1 comment.

If you've even tried the build, you'd find that these skills (together with doubke attack) can be casted IN BETWEEN autos. And dude, if you've read it thoroughly, this is the most important part.

Well, I tested and verified it works, at least with a 160 bone spear. Believe me or not, it does work.

I'm seriously considering this build for later in game, but I just don't know if it works in the tower.

It might look like it visually, but you are missing autos when you cast skills

Yes its very logical to hit a double attack and auto at same time when casting is far from instant yet. Qs (possibly ss too) are free skills.

Not everything is visual. If you count the number of auto damage texts coming off the mob, you'll see that the damage is there, but the *animation* when your character does the actual damage is skipped. It says so in the guide.
