Rogues in Dungeons and
Dragons Online are a sneaky
lot. They can kill
you by backstabbing you with pointy blades and loot your purse before
you blink. However, if you don’t want to get blood on your
fancy clothes, then the DDO
rogue build of the ranged repeater is for
you. Now you can pincushion your foes with your incredible
marksmanship. There’s more than one way to skin a kobold!
Disclaimer:
As always, this build does not
represent the uber min/max
build that will lift you from the gutters to Mount Olympus. Feel free
to make changes to suit your play style and likes/dislikes. This build
is meant to only be a starting point, and always remember the point of
playing is to have fun.
DDO Rouge Build: Ranged
Repeater
The purpose of this build is to create a rogue that strikes from a
distance and get the hell out of Dodge if cornered. You’ll do
good damage and have a high rate of survivability. The surprise factor
is always fun too. Everybody knows that all Rogues use short swords or
rapiers! Also please note that all levels are Rogue levels.
Race: Human
Humans have no stat penalties. They also get a free feat, an additional
skill point per level, and access to the Human Versatility enhancement
line.
Alignment: True Neutral
Being True Neutral allows you to use items with Stability bonuses.
While there aren’t any True Neutral weapons out there, your
Use Magic Device (UMD) skill should overcome any obstacles.

Enhancements for DDO Rogue
Build: Ranged Repeater
This DDO
rogue build centers on the Rogue Mechanic enhancements that
adds your Intelligence bonus to damage inflicted by light (Rogue
Mechanic I) or heavy (Rogue Mechanic II) crossbows. In addition, Rogue
Mechanic increases the DC of traps you set and traps are the best
friend of a ranged rogue. The capstone enhancement is Rogue Cheat
Death, which adds +2 to Dexterity and a chance at self-resurrection. If
you want to make different choices, then you’re free to do
so, but you’ll definitely need Rogue Mechanic.

Skills for DDO Rogue Build:
Ranged Repeater
The first ten skills listed below are the most important. As always,
you want to make sure that you’re proficient in tasks that
require a Rogue to do (traps, locked doors). Tumble is very important
as it allows you to get out of a tight corner. Some players like a high
haggle, but I tend to use an alt for my buying. The final choice for
your skills is up to you. Make sure that you upgrade your equipment as
you level, making sure that you have the maximum bonus for skills that
you can get from items.
- 1: Balance
- 2: Open Lock
- 3: Search
- 4: Tumble
- 5: Hide
- 6: Disable Device
- 7: Use Magic Device
- 8: Diplomacy
- 9: Move Silently
- 10: Spot
- 11: Intimidate
- 12: Haggle
- 13: Jump
With this build, you’ll be able to rain down ranged death
upon your enemies. Better yet, after you start shooting them and they
try to rush you, they’ll stumble upon the traps
you’ve set out. If cornered, you can tumble away to safety
and keep pelting them with your repeating crossbow. Overall, this DDO
rogue build features the light repeating crossbow, but beauty is in the
eye of the beholder.
