Ok, a lot of rogues (including myself) know the basics of our class: rotation, gearing/gemming, etc. However, I was wondering if the Rogues of Paragon would be willing to share any small tips or tricks that are more situational, such as vanishing Tear Gas on Normal Mode Putricide (just an easy example) that will allow Rogues to maximize their damage.

It seems to me that Paragon's Rogues would know a few of these, seeing as how they always pull exceptional DPS, even with limited gear when starting new content. I would be very excited to hear tips that pertain to either spec.

Edit: I just noticed that Maeil picked up the 4t10 bonus (Rakez has been running it). How good is it? Aldriana of Elitistjerks claims that it is pretty weak for combat.

Can't think of anything big really, EJ has a good thread on these aswell. I usually just vanish the sindragosa bombs and shock vortex @ blood princes.

Oh, the one thing I don't see any other rogue doing is using blade flurry wisely on saurfang. If you use your first one straight from the beginning you'll get a second one ready just as blood beasts pop out. Then you target a blood beast and stand so that your flurry hits are on the boss. It's pretty risky as the blood beast can hit you (or the guy you're tricksing) and it's not always guaranteed that your BF hits the right target, but if it works you get like 100k free damage which isn't even worthless as the beasts need to be killed anyway.

The t10 bonus is weak for combat, but it's just enough to make 4t10 BIS. It depends a lot on your luck aswell.
