Ring of Wealth went super strong for this rogue run. Went assassin when I found a ring of sharpshooting and dumped the SoU on it and crossbow. Now I’ve got a stone gauntlet and ring of furor +2 and a ring of haste that needs a scroll of remove curse. Should I stick with my build or make the plunge for a faster, melee focused one?
Upgrade points are very precious. Try to minimize their waste.
Imo, roh is very strong, but only at +3 or higher. If you get the t3 ability to use your cloak even when it’s unequipped, you can run ethereal chains as well, which is the best artifact in the game. Keep the row equipped. Furor isn’t as strong as something like a ring of evasion or haste, but you should identify them as fast as possible (not upgrading the t1 ability to instantly identify rings was a mistake, as you now can see, since you can’t really figure out what an optimal build is).
If you have both a +5 crossbow and a +4 ring of sharpshooting, your darts will be very strong and durable, so that’s one thing. This build is more often used with the sniper, whose ability complements this, but I guess having the ability to turn invisible can also be useful to keep distance and avoid getting swarmed, so this could work. You may want ethereal chains too, also to get yourself out of encirclement and occasionally pull enemies into holes.
