So, I got the inspiration to do a Rogue using the Strike of Giants Cloud Strike option on a Rogue, but I'm not sure if I can swing enough DC on that to make PB/LR uses worth it. I'd definitely want to use CON as my save stat, but that would mean I'd be locked into my starting CON score for a while for the DC. I don't like to dump stats with point-buy stats and as a Rogue I like to have a decent mod in one mental stat for skills, so I can swing something like STR 10, DEX 16, CON 14, and then another 14, a 12, and a 10 to play around with for mental scores. That means I'm looking at a DC somewhere in the 12-14 range for a WIS save across typical levels of play. Is that enough DC to give the feat decent performance, or should I look into a build that'll let me use STR?
DC 12 is decent indeed. A typical character main ability score with Standard Array or Point Buy is 16-17 which result in a DC 13 to start so you're not that far off and Constitution is a good one to have as secondary for hit points and saving throws, the Wisdom can get 14 as well for another good saving throw as well as Perception skill best.
