Rogue - PvP Build
- Strong Ganking Potential
- High Burst Damage
- Great Mobility
- Good Utility
- Stealth
- Squishy
- Low AOE DPS
- High APM required
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.

Stamina
As you progress and level up in this Rogue build, prioritize 
Escape Velocity to enhance your movement speed while sprinting in combat (default key C). This becomes particularly valuable in the later stages of the game, enabling you to kite mobs during cooldowns or completely evade dangerous situations when necessary.
Subsequently, allocate points to Recuperation Training and Evasive Maneuver to boost your evasion rate while dodging. This will also unlock 
Springstep, which dramatically improves mobility by extending the distance of your roll.
Finally, direct any remaining points toward the Guard Training branch to decrease stamina consumption while blocking (default key E). Adding 
Mental Fortification is also good, as it reduces the likelihood of being crowd-controlled (CC’d) while blocking.
Rotations
- 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.
Caltrops: A great way to dismount players, use it when setting up a gank by placing them ahead of enemies.
