Dexterity vs cunning rogue

[Molybdenum94]

So I've read that any dexterity gotten beyond what's needed for preferred weapon, be it bow or dagger, is useless, and that all points should be plugged into cunning. Why is this so?

Cunning contributes into armor penetration and critical damage, and when you have lethality-talent, cunning makes your damage scale via cunning aswell. Dexterity gives you attack rating so you'll miss less, and it also grants defense which gives you chance to avoid attacks.

As for which is better, it depends a lot on party setup aswell. If you have good tank who can keep up heavy threat, go with heavy cunning and mininum requirement for dexterity for weapon/talent. if you plan to use rogue as avoidance tank, then go more dexterity, as it grants chance to avoid attacks.

On archers, cunning is a lot better plan, as you can have Aim-skill which makes attacks really precise ->cunning crit damage procs a lot. It also allows your archers who have bard speciality, to keep up heavier song bonuses.

Tl, Dr: When you have learned Lethality-talent, start focus on cunning whiel keeping up with enoguh dexterity to land attacks without issues.
