After a HARD dungeon expirience in Shifting Passages, I'm more convinced it's the GETINDARE rather than the rogue. At least in a dungeon which doesn't favour him.

DD was balanced from the very beginning with "random, unpredictable" dodging in mind. Dodge prediction has always been a potential problem with that, since removing the "unpredictable" part is a massive power boost. (I've never liked the "random" part, personally, and I think I once suggested making all dodges guaranteed, but rare - e.g. a Rogue loses his % chance but starts with 2 or 3 potions of dodge, and more potions would only ever be available at a very steep cost.)

(I also never got the complaints about GETINDARE being too weak, personally - a free hit for 3 MP is strong stuff.)

My complaint with GETINDARE has always been more regarding its overlap with the Assassin/Rogue and WEYTWUT, rather than its inherent strength.
