Interesting. I think I've muddled my own build a bit too much. Well... actually I want to muddle it.
I went as Beast as a Rogue, and took Parry Master as the level 3 Talent, but I also took Chameleon Skin and later Chicken Claw. But what I want to do is to be a Positioning Master Rogue focusing on dodge above maximizing damage.
That would mean taking Aero 2 and I am reluctant to spend Attribute points on all the Memory slots I'd need to have Scoundrel, Poly AND Aero skills. Perhaps I'll spec out of Polymorph and into Aero later... or pick up Aero anyway and Memnonic for the extra memory.
Uhh, im sorry. You got me confused. I tought you guys said that it was better start as a rogue instead of shadowblade...
There are a lot of ways to build Rogue-type characters.
You should be able to take both Scoundrel and Poly if you remove the point from Dual Wielding.
