Overview

This Rogue DPS build focuses on the leveling part of the game from level 1 to 25. The Rogue is the perfect choice for solo leveling with its large arsenal and many tools that allow any Rogue player to do well in different scenarios. Access to StealthStealth not only allows you to navigate through the world of Ashes of Creation but also halves the cooldown of your StabStab when using it from stealth. However, StealthStealth utility doesn't stop there as Soothing ShadowsSoothing Shadows allows for constant self healing throughout the whole leveling journey.

You can also opt for 3 piece Bloodrunner for extra healing or even try out full Bloodrunner set instead but the Rosarium adds a lot of tankiness and of course damage that is much needed. Moltruin and Sunbastion are also very good options that are much cheaper than Rosarium.

  • While the rotation is very easy to pull off, you should make sure to always start fights from behind the enemy while in StealthStealth to make use of the extra damage done with StabStab followed by ThrashThrash. Continue the rotation by using Acrobatic StrikeAcrobatic Strike once the mob turned to face you, this way you build the Advantage buff.
  • Cast DoublestrikeDoublestrike so it casts StabStab again for extra damage, spending Advantage. Use ThrashThrash again then continue with FeintFeint to boost resistance by increasing your evasion rate, using ThrashThrash one last time then use ThrowThrow to finish the mob off and/or also pull extra or damage the mobs nearby. You can also use

  • Start by using StealthStealth to get the Advantage buff before starting to gether mobs together using your bow before applying Draining PoisonDraining Poison. Once you've done that, use ThrashThrash to do some damage to a first mob before using ThrowThrow and ThrashThrash again. Use LacerateLacerate to deal damage and apply bleed to all stacked enemies, then use ThrashThrash (this one will do AOE Damage thanks to TrounceTrounce) and also apply Advantage again and use it on making KickKick hit all mobs.
  • Doing that will also grant you the TrounceTrounce buff, making it easy to follow up with FlurryFlurry for more AOE damage. Use FeintFeint to boost evasion rate and also gain Advantage once more. Use DoublestrikeDoublestrike to finish off the targets as it will cast LacerateLacerate. Naturally, you should aim to fit in StabStab whenever possible and SapSap on poison stacked targets.
