I. Want. To. Rog! Now that I have Twisted Sister in my head (how has that not been the soundtrack to a BB video?!?), I’ll get serious. I want to build a Rog. I’m inclined to Shocktrain because, well, FU must happen. I need recommendations for pilot skills and the module. I have picked up Road Hog (T2) and Armor Expert (T3) as my first two skills. I imagine Wonderworker, Mechanic, Master Gunsmith, Powerman. What else? Quartermaster, I’d think. I tentatively figured Deathmark for the module although I could see an argument for Phase Shift. Help me, Obi Wan! |

Help me, Obi Man! Wonder worker is redonkadonk with that cool down. But....Ghost is fun for wicked speed. Looking forward to BB’s input. |

The speed from Ghost is intriguing, but it’s not really a Rog if it doesn’t jump. At least from my perspective.

I use Lockdown Ammo for shocktrain builds, could see it effectively being used on a Rog, too, because of its high mobility and jump ability. Probably many pilots know this, but with the effect active, it's possible to lock multiple enemies at once, which is a feature hard not to exploit when using a FU hangar.

Multilayered response to follow... 1. you want to BUILD a Rog?  I didn't even know that was a thing 😂 2. COCKtrains?!?  to each his own, but IMO they guarantee a very short lifespan for your Rog. My personal favorite trolling build is Pulsars WITH LD mod, delicious long lasting evil on Canyon. Which leads us to... 3. If you want to last minimum 2 minutes in a match, you have to spend some resources to BEEF that baby up. Full MK2 with extras gives me 208 hp. Every member of my lev. 50 Rog army has WARM = Wonderworker, Armor, Road hog, Master gunny...additional smatterings of adament blah blah, modules expert, etc... 4. Hopping naked from cover to cover is a skill, most people do not understand this. This is why they suck at Rogging and choose to look down their noses at the bot instead of admitting their own shortcomings. 11. I used to use PS mod, but switched to all LD many months ago for economical reasons. It has become an integral part of my BR play 19. Map awareness and knowledge of the nooks and crannies is a must 35. Twisted sister always grossed me out, so I used it as a nickname for my own sister at the time. |

My Rog is 2.12, with Wonderworker, Master Gunsmith, and Road Hog. I ran Ghost for a little bit but while the speed was fun, it still wasn't enough to outrun getting hit. I yield to the master in loadout options, but if I needed to run Rog for a stretch of games, I'd probably panic fit it with my 2.12 Tarans or 1.10 Hussars.
Honestly, I kind of wish I had a pair of Atomizers; I've got an idle Sam Stone and he'd be a great Rog pilot.

Otherwise the damage output may only be the FU variety. Pulsars with their lockdown could be very FU. Thrown in a couple T2 lockdown chips to help... |

Otherwise the damage output may only be the FU variety. Pulsars with their lockdown could be very FU. Thrown in a couple T2 lockdown chips to help... I'm just starting this thing. Unfortunately, my somewhat leveled Rog is lost on my dead account. This one is 1/7
I don't want Jump module + Ghost. I'm a purist. Also, with the recommendation of pairing Lockdown along with the Shocktrains that negates the Jump module. Plus, my experience with Jump on my main Loki is that module is a crack 「loose lady」.
My one Shocktrain is 1/1, the other is still being built.
I don't use drones. I've never figured them out (they seem over complicated) and they seem like a resource hog to get sorted out.
My Pulsars (2) are currently on my Leech in a Pulsar/Wasp setup. I'd rather not remove them.
What I'm doing right now is figuring out what I want to do with the Rog and gradually leveling up the pilot, mech, and guns on the cheap while I get my Falcon more useful. It's currently 1/7 with three Vipers (one at 1/6 and the other two at 1/5). |

Fyi, Ghost Rog with jump module can jump over canyon on Canyon... Which is pretty fun, and, umm, idk how useful it is actually...
But we are taking about shock training Rog here, so who gives a shift about usefulness...

As soon as I read the Tittle I had the song running through my head and pictured Dee Snider. Turn it down you say  Turn it down you say But all I got to say to you is time and time again I say No! No! No! No! Tell me not to play Well, all I got to say to when you tell me not to play I say No! No! No! No! So, if you ask me why I like the way I play it There's only one thing I can say to you I wanna rock!(Rock!) I wanna rock!(Rock!) I wanna rock!(Rock!) I wanna rock!(Rock!) |

How the hell did I miss this response? FML. Multilayered response to follow... 1. you want to BUILD a Rog? I didn't even know that was a thing 😂 Well, such as it is. 2. COCKtrains?!? to each his own, but IMO they guarantee a very short lifespan for your Rog. My personal favorite trolling build is Pulsars WITH LD mod, delicious long lasting evil on Canyon. Coming from a FU approach to the game I have Pulsars (2), Wasps (2), Molot-Ts (4), and Hydras (4) elsewhere. No Vortices, Ions, Ballistas, or Hussars. That leaves the 'trains of which I have 1 and am building 2. I contemplated what had 2 medium guns and was sufficiently low-profile and annoying. I came up with either a Rog or a Hover. I don't care for Hovers for a variety of reasons and Rogging always appealed to me so I figured I'd give it a shot. 3. If you want to last minimum 2 minutes in a match, you have to spend some resources to BEEF that baby up. I figured as much. I'll gradually get there. That it's comparatively inexpensive vs the current stuff certainly makes it an easier prospect. Heck, the cost to level to 2/12 will be cheaper than the cost of taking each of the Shocktrains to 1/12. I fully expect to also need to level up the pilot a decent bit to give him survivability. 4. Hopping naked from cover to cover is a skill, most people do not understand this. This is why they suck at Rogging and choose to look down their noses at the bot instead of admitting their own shortcomings. I believe it. While it won't completely transition, I tend to run squishy and/or undergeared stuff in my account, anyway. I'm used to the mindset of knowing I can get annihilated at a moment's notice and embrace the nooks and crannies to avoid taking a quick and vicious beating. 35. Twisted sister always grossed me out, so I used it as a nickname for my own sister at the time. I was never a Twisted Sister fan, either, but the rhyming is undeniable. |

I had a Tulu Rog on my old account. There was something therapeutic about sending that payload while jumping around. If I get my hands on some Scorchers, I will buy a new Rog and level it up with those without thinking twice. Other than that Tarans and Cryos would work pretty well. And a Ghost Rog isn't a Rog . It's gotta have the hops. |

This guy does nothing for the Rog. The only reason I used him is because Legendary Pilots can get the T4 tier pilot skills whereas the regular (blue-colored) ones get capped at T3.
In some cases, I don't care enough for the mechs to use Legendary pilots I have that are either useless or duplicative. For this, though, I figured I'd want to try to get T4 skills to improve the survivability (like Armor Expert) and/or increased damage. I'm curious what a T4 version of Powerman would look like, for example.

Just spent an entire match on Valley in my 1/8, 1/10 ST Rog and rocked < 200k damage in it. I’d be shocked if I weren’t reported multiple times for being inactive.
Good grief.

Whole lot of useless so far. 🤬 Don't say that, I'm 'bout to MK2 mine. Were those Shock trains on him? I was thinkinking PunTs, but might not be bursty enough, maybe Orkans/cryos? Can't wait to see how far a Shell can fart me. |
