Rogue · Combat · Row 1 of 7 · 5 ranks

Lightning Reflexes sits in row 1 of the Rogue Combat tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It can take up to 5 points. Max it fully, or put in a few points just to open the rows below.

What Lightning Reflexes does at each rank

A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.

  1. Rank 1: Increases your Dodge chance by 1%.
  2. Rank 2: Increases your Dodge chance by 2%.
  3. Rank 3: Increases your Dodge chance by 3%.
  4. Rank 4: Increases your Dodge chance by 4%.
  5. Rank 5: Increases your Dodge chance by 5%.

How to reach Lightning Reflexes

Row 1 opens after you spend 0 points in the earlier Combat rows. Level 10 is the earliest you can pick up Lightning Reflexes.

Is Lightning Reflexes worth the points?

Every rank makes the effect stronger, so putting in a few points while leveling is totally fine. Max it when the final rank is the heart of your endgame build. And if you only need it as a stepping stone, no shame in stopping early.
