RIFT: Saboteur

ZAM: Ranged DPS Rogue Saboteur/Assassin/Ranger
http://rift.zam.com/en/stc.html?t=0MTNM.yVMcEbxkkRz.M.0VMcxcb

Parsed DPS
+ AoE 3 Targets 1.2k Average over 1min
+ Single Target 530-560 Average over 2min

The Build
44Sab/20sin/2Ran
or
44Sab/20sin/2RS (moving the 2 points you had in Eagle Eye to Unseen Fury)

For raid purposes us the Ranger build gives more crit and with the added buffs from Support players you would not need the extra attack power, as for regular dungeons or solo play the rift stalker will have a higher unbuffed attack power. The Ranger add means higher and more crits after already being buffed, so which ever you would like.

Main Abilities

Damage
- Blast Charge (High dps)
- Spike Charge (Dps with DoT)
- Sharpnel Charge (AoE)
- Splinter Charge (Debuff Armor)
- Annihilation Bomb (Detonates Blast and Spike Charges)
- Fragmentation Bomb (AoE)
- Booby Traps (AoE)
- Expose Weakness (Debuff)
- Detonate

Crowd Control
- Adhesive Bomb (Slows movement by 70%)
- Choking Gas Bomb (Silence)
- Incriminate (Transfers Aggro to Tank)

Buffs
- Poison Malice
- Lethal Poison
- Virulent Poison

Rotation

Single-Target

As Sab is a heavy AoE and CC spec, it can get good single target dps.
Before battle begins set charges on boss. Do not detonate till tank has aggro (high dps you could pull the aggro from tank, if that happens use Incriminate)

Debuff:
Splinter Charge x5> Expose Weakness> Detonate

Attack:
Blast Charge x5> Annihilation Bomb >Detonate
Spike Charge x5> Detonate
Then either keep plugging these charges or spam Booby Trap till mob is dead, if you want to continue using Annilation Bomb, pop the Carpet Bombing for 3 more times of no cool down.

Multi-target
Sharpnel Charge x5> Incriminate Macro
Incriminate (Transfer aggro) (Marco Below)
Spam Fragmenation Bomb & Booby Trap till dead (Macro Below)

Protection and Crowd control
Landmines>Booby Trap have a small knock back would be good for a couple sec delay to protect clerics, possibly be able to gain aggro on mob after the cleric and you can redirect back to the tank with instigate, ie make that tanks job easier)
Adhesive Bombs slows the movement of mob (We will need this for GSB)
Choking Gas Bomb silences enemy for 8 sec

MACROS

AoE Spam

#show fragmentation bomb
suppressmacrofailures
cast fragmentation bomb
cast booby trap

Instigate

#show incriminate
suppressmacrofailures
cast @focus incriminate
cast detonate

Melee Spam

#show Savage Strike

End Note:
There are other abilities you can try other than just these, the assassin has melee abilities of course for single target. Just keep trying different stuff if you find something I missed let me know.

PS. Watch out for shields that reflect damage ie final boss in AP, you will die with Ninja Speed.
