Yes, pit fiends and malebranches have lower bludgeoning resists than the other 2, and as a rogue they are your main target. Light mace also has the best damage types on the DB and dis versions than any other weapon, perfect for devils.

Making a Half-Fiend version of this build using a Handaxe. What is good to know is you can Max a total of 14 skills with this build, and 11 of them are the required ones. So you have a tremendious amount of leway to max 3 more skills.

Ah Kolyrat with decent STR is definatly the most powerful in that in can end up resisting all KDs except from a Paragon Pit fiend, makes for a very flexible frontline tank. I currently have this build in progress, only change (so far) is IIl put 2 more points to Str, and 2 less points to Dex so that it after double demi+str artifact can have a str of 40, at the cost of 1 ac which seems to reach high enough anyways. Im also putting in some concentration points, and still get nice freedom in skill selection to pick up 1-2 non-critical skills.

i want to make a rogue with atomie, but was unsure about the weapon I should specialize in rogue skills require light weapons; does this mean I need a tiny weapon? if so, what weapon would you recommend?

Yes you need to a tiny weapon if you make a small rogue. Either kukri, katar, dagger, or assassin dagger.

Atomie can finesse a shortsword afaik... so you have that option too.

You can finesse short swords with atomie, but you cant benefit from crippling strike with it.

Ah... that sucks somewhat. Something else, if you don't mind. There are three unused feats there in legendary levels. Does this make sense: - Take Armor Skin and Epic Dex 3 in Legendary (if you started at 21 dex, it -looks- like you're fine to take SC1 at the right stage).
- Instead of Armor Skin and Epic Dex 3 in Epic levels, take Epic Prowess and Epic Weapon Focus
- For the third feat in legendary levels, take LWF - with EWF and Epic Prowess, LWF works out to +4 to your ab, for a final AB in the lower 90's when you get +20 buffed (I've seen somewhere 90 is the magic "lowest" number?)
Would that make sense - or are there better things to do with those feats?

Actually with the universal tank nerf, the feats are not free anymore. I need to update this.

Got this x5 demi tonight. This is definitely the most solid tank I've ever played, and the damage output is quite good considering its a dex build. Here are damage stats from tonights nessus run:
Scorch [ER]: 290k (BFM) Klashda'du'Darshan: 234k (STR lash) Karr Hellstorm 206k (STR paladin) Aaeru: 189k (this build) Perin Cthuluh [ER]: 159k (Wizard) Shana Da'BlackSoul: 126k (Dex fighter/WM)
I will update the build shortly to take into consideration the epic dodge changes and to get 4 more AB at the cost of 2 AC for even higher damage output.

This built looks really great, but there is only one thing that bothers me - i mean i noticed that there is no blind fight on the feat list. I am quite new to HG but i heard many times that this feat is a must-have for a melee toon ... So i want to ask is it really so important to have that or is it just overrated?

Take a look at the modifications to the LIsten skill in your journal. It covers the offensive aspects of blindfight, and improves on them.
