Subtlety: selected talents and trade-offs
Camouflage 3/5 and Opportunity 2/2 open the route. Elusiveness 2/2, Dirty Tricks 2/2 and Improved Ambush 1/3 lead to Ghostly Strike at eleven. Initiative 3/3 and Master of Deception 1/3 reach fifteen. Premeditation, Serrated Blades 3/3 and Heightened Senses 1/2 precede Preparation at twenty-one.
Several stealth and critical-strike talents remain partial. Ghostly Strike supplies a short Dodge window, while Preparation resets cooldowns in the exported text; neither establishes a universal escape sequence. The route leaves Combat hit and Kick investment outside the budget.
Keep main-hand weapon and opponent level comparable. Record opener setup time, usable combo points, time in open combat and whether another engagement becomes possible.
Executable point order
Use the progression to inspect each point from Level 10 to 30. The calculator opens the exact allocation and level. These routes are examples for comparing choices, not a measured damage ranking.
Reviewed Rogue snapshot: 53 visible nodes from Wago client build 1.60.1.70291, reconciled against Talents Forever. All 139 rank descriptions are adapted from Talents Forever (CC BY 4.0, https://talentsforever.com), with community verification. The export resolves tooltip values at Level 60; it does not rescale them to the selected level or simulate damage. Level 30 examples spend 21 points; the existing Level 20 page uses eleven-point stages of this reviewed tree. One point per level from 10, five points per tier, full-rank prerequisites and the editorial point order remain derived planning assumptions. Original 69913 saves remain historical records and are not partially migrated into a changed allocation.
