Overview

This Rogue PVP build focuses on taking out targets quickly before moving on. Rogue lacks in AOE damage and performs poorly in large scale PVP due to it, the Rogue is one of the strongest gankers in the game, more than capable of solo ganking enemies or part of a group of players looking to attack caravans or act as an assassin during Node Sieges.

Rogue is the only class with access to Stealth and it can easily help with regenerating HP without a healer thanks to Soothing Shadows. Death's Mark also helps with this, adding extra sustain to the build.

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.

Start with Focused Sprint in this Rogue PVP build to gain CC resistance while sprinting. This is most useful in PVP but also helpful in PVE. Then upgrade Escape Velocity for extra movement speed. Second Wind is great as a final choice because it regenerates stamina while sprinting. File:-1Graceful Reflexes gives you a small chance to escape CC when dodging.

Rotations

Stealth Burst Rotation ↴

Always try to start the fight using Withering Poison and while using Stealth to maximize damage and success rate when picking fights.

Start by using Sleep Dart to sleep the target and make it easier for you to setup the kill. Continue with Death's Mark so once the target dies you also regenerate some HP, making it easier to live after. Begin DPS with Stab from behind, followed by Thrash straight into Kick to CC them before using Thrash again followed by Doublestrike and a final Thrash.

Use Acrobatic Strike next to gain a secondary Advantage buff, removing the cooldown on Stab so you can use it two times to finish off the target.

Grappling Hook: Not only a fun skill to use, but also amazing for mobility as it allows you to get in and out of fight. Mostly used to get away from a fight that goes poorly or to run away from enemies and reposition.

Stealth: This is your bread and butter and you should aim to always be in Stealth if possible. Don't forget that you can eat rations and sprint while Stealth is active without breaking it.
