Charging mage skills are always better, but sometimes a tapped lightning is better than charged because of the additional timing taken to charge it. Playing a mage involves lots of adapting.
P.S: Charged lightning stuns. The 250% chance to crit happens even if you tap the skill.
Amazing guide, Al
Now you just need to work for a warrior - killing build, you naughty smurf <3
I find reading threads on how a certain class kills us (rogues) is more effective then me reading about how I would as a rouges kill other classes. Because you guys normally talk about your weaknesses quite loudly here where in rogue forums we guess about them

Sorry but I'm gonna bump this one up. Too many mages are weak this expansion and tthis.build should see them owning those snipers!
Update: Added a video! Once you get past the ew graphics you can see how I used this build to kill one of the best (imo) mage killers there are in endgame PvP.
P.S: I admit much of it was luck, LOL!
(And sorry for the bump )

Hey Alhun,
nice update there!
A thing you could consider is "clock" instead of f.e. ice because packs get far away that way.
I prefer a build where it doesnt matter what the rogue wants to do, either bow or packs -> i dont care!
Fire, ligh, clock, shield. Pet u want to use is Grimm or Shadowlurk... ( Samael would be number 1 no question)
Start the fight with charged fireball(with DoT upgrade) & Grimm`s AA -> rogue stunned and debuffed -> lightning -> autoattack (i prefer a magma staff because of much better DPS then the rifle) -> charged shield -> charged clock(with DoT upgrade!) -> rogue wont get to packs -> autoattack -> light -> fire -> TY. When rogue is skilled and has maxed gear it might not work *lol* I killed some arcane ring rogues with that build but these were not to skilled to be honest.
Im sure this tactic will work 100% for all rogues when you have gear like:
Kershal staff + myth helm + myth armor + arcane ring + lunar + Singe/Samael. I have seen a mage with 814dmg and more than 1000DPS !!! Give me that gear and i kill any rogue,i guess.
edit: When you have the gear mentioned above you could also do it that way and its 100% deadly!
Fire, Light, Ice, Clock
Start the fight with charged Fireball (rogue stunned) -> light -> ice -> auto attack -> hit Samael`s AA (rogue paniced) -> auto attack -> drop charged clock on her = gg !!! You win the fight when you get the fireball stun. This could even work for warriors because the damageoutput while opponent is not able to move is insane!
The good thing for not using curse is you dont need to take care of veil/curse cancel! A rogue cant cancel Fire/light/ice and clock!
edit2: Id love to play vs Bless and Ctf with that gear, would be very funny! If i get the fireball stun its GG!!!

Good suggestion,
Reason I don't use clock is because the damage is pretty much negligible to most rogues - and is easily avoidable by charging shadow piercer. Rogues starting with charged bow especially have this option, if they survive your attacks its GG.
Then again, whatever works!
