Just another build sharing. Plus a few notes on Atlantis hidden in spoilers. (i might get killed :D )
(i just posted this under dreamAE because dreamAE is still empty. but this is as much rogue as it is dream)
First of all, this wasn't the supposed build for this character. This was an experimental build, a converted to elemental build without using rune mastery.

Although i was at least able to make it viable, it was so squishy i didn't want to play it anymore. I just called it experiment gone wrong. :D
Now it just came to my mind that using the new skills of dream and rogue, i can take a different route and make this character a little better. I haven't finished this character yet but i decided to write this now because i don't know if i will continue playing this. But I'm pretty sure this will at least be viable in act 5 legendary. Btw, why does dream have to get some of the best new skills?
At first look, the good synergy to be found is psionic beam enhanced with envenom weapon. But i find that if you equip 2 allfather's rings, traps are still better. And it will get stronger with maxed mastermind.
While i was testing this, i find myself choosing between 80% CDR or 1k DA. Ultimately, I chose 80% CDR. +4 to all skills and cast speed is a must for this build. I chose 80% CDR largely because of distort reality and PGB. No, seriously, it's like PGB suddenly became a good debuff + CC skill. At ultimate max poison mayhem, PGB has 30% chance of impaired aim, which is very good against archers. It also has 60% chance of 2 seconds of fear. The fear only lasts 2 seconds and they get slowed which means mobs don't get very far so you don't have to follow them. While they are running away slowed, they are being hit by traps. I literally cast this against every mob. This and distort reality with 80% CDR makes you king of CCs. I have distort at 1/max and PGB at 1/1/max.
Don't mind that low DPS based on the pic. The kill speed is fine. A staff with maxed psionic beam is so much better now. Traps with 2 allfather's rings and maxed mastermind are really good. Plus you have your doppelganger which becomes permanent with +4 to all skills and 80% CDR.

I don't know if i put some points on str but you don't need it for this build. Like i said, this was meant to be a converted to elemental build. At one point, I thought of equipping blessing of the moirae + rings of the rhine but balked quickly when i realized the short range of thrown weapons just puts me in even more danger. Just too squishy.
Skill point distribution is not really an issue in TQ, it's really the stat point distribution you must be careful of because you can't take them back
I also have a differently built dreamkiller (https://titanquestfans.net/index.php?topic=832.0) which is almost similar to @Torstein159 's dreamkiller (https://titanquestfans.net/index.php?topic=923.0). I don't know if this is less scary to build because this is only a 2 stat build. But honestly, the 3 stat build was easier to gear and I'd still take that for survivability reasons.
At the time of this writing, Atlantis is still a bug fest. I play in other acts and it's fine but when i portal to Atlantis, suddenly the game stutters.
There are giants there that when they die, they remain standing or continue running even if they're dead. This gets confusing and sometimes can lead to deaths
Why do devs love invisible wasps?
"The Letter" quest. I don't know if i just got unlucky and my game got bugged just that 1 time, but nothing happened when i talked to the girl. My quest log says talk to the girl but nothing happens
Bugs like these are the reasons why i haven't finished Atlantis yet after all this time. And no i don't want to submit any more bug reports
I see there are Basilisk beastmen that has a petrify attack. I guess if you have read/watched Basilisk manga/anime, you really could get petrified lolololz :D
Kagerou: Sa-Saemon Dono. My-my breath.
Yakushiji Tenzen: Oh. Is your breath accelerating? Your sighs are as sweet as flowers.
Kagerou: (This isn't Saemon Dono)
Yakushiji Tenzen: You must allow this!!
Me: Man, i wanna kill Tenzen until he is dead-dead
