* While the rotation is incredibly easy to pull off, you should make sure to pull a group of mobs using your auto-attacks or using your bow to lure mobs more efficiently before using {{Skill|Brutal Cleave}} and {{Skill|Whirlwind}}. You can do this in the early game just after making your character, making it easy to level to 4 by simply AOE grinding the mobs in the starting zone. Keep in mind that once you unlock {{Skill|Climactic Whirlwind}}, you will have to angle yourself in such a way that the final hit hits multiple targets.
* While the rotation is ivery easy to pull off, you should make sure to always start fights from behind the enemy while in {{Skill|Stealth}} to make use of the extra damage done with {{Skill|Stab}} followed by {{Skill|Thrash}}. Continue the rotation by using {{Skill|Acrobatic Strike}} once the mob turned to face you, this way you build the Advantage buff.

* Cast {{Skill|Doublestrike}} so it casts {{Skill|Stab}} again for extra damage, spending Advantage. Use {{Skill|Thrash}} again then continue with {{Skill|Feint}} to boost resistance by increasing your evasion rate, using {{Skill|Thrash}} one last time, applying bleed and making it easy to transition into {{Skill|Lacerate}} to turn the bleeding debuff into Hemorrage for extra damage over time.
* This is your bread and butter rotation for single target DPS when leveling solo. Start with {{Skill|Blitz}} to build up quick Combat Momentum before continuing with {{Skill|Rupture}} to apply a bleed dot before transitioning to {{Skill|Lunging Assault}}.


* Continue the rotation with a hit of {{Skill|Overpower}} and then use {{Skill|Wallop}} to maximize the damage it does based on the amount of Combat Momentum stacks you gained throughout the rotation. The last skill in the rotation is {{Skill|Lethal Blow}} as its used to finish off a target with its high damage and also reset {{Skill|Blitz}} cooldown by using {{Skill|Reinvigorating Lethal Blow}}. Once upgraded with {{Skill|Consuming Lethal Blow}}, {{Skill|Lethal Blow}} also returns some of your HP and mana.

* Wait for the tank to pull mobs and stack them up before you start the rotation! Spend this time making sure that you are in {{Skill|Form Of Celerity}} before using {{Skill|Battle Cry}} to buff yourself and your allies followed by {{Skill|Brutal Cleave}} which will apply the Staggered thanks to {{Skill|Form Of Celerity}}.
* Start by using {{Skill|Stealth}} to get the Advantage buff before starting to gether mobs together using your bow. Once you've done that, use {{Skill|Thrash}} to do some damage to a first mob before using {{Skill|Throw}} and {{Skill|Thrash}} again. Use {{Skill|Lacerate}} to deal damage and apply bleed to all stacked enemies, then use {{Skill|Thrash}} (this one will do AOE Damage thanks to {{Skill|Trounce}}) and also apply Advantage again and use it on making {{Skill|Kick}} hit all mobs.


* Continue the rotation using {{Skill|Cataclysm}} to deal high damage and and trip the targets. However, if you have a mage in your party, pay attention and wait for them to freeze the mobs so the damage done by {{Skill|Cataclysm}} is increased. Transition into {{Skill|Maim}} for extra damage before using {{Skill|Lunging Assault}} 2 times then finish the rotation with {{Skill|Leap Strike}}.
* Doing that will also grant you the {{Skill|Trounce}} buff, making it easy to follow up with {{Skill|Flurry}} for more AOE damage. Use {{Skill|Feint}} to boost evasion rate and also gain Advantage once more. Use {{Skill|Doublestrike}} to finish off the targets as it will cast {{Skill|Lacerate}}.

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.

As you level and progress in this Fighter leveling build, start by focusing on Escape VelocityEscape Velocity to boost your movement speed while sprinting in combat (default key C). This becomes especially important later in the game, allowing you to kite mobs while waiting for cooldowns or to escape dangerous situations entirely if needed.

Next, invest in Recuperation Training and Evasive ManeuverEvasive Maneuver to improve your evasion rate while dodging. This also unlocks SpringstepSpringstep, which significantly enhances mobility by increasing the distance you can roll.

After that, allocate remaining points to the Guard Training branch to reduce stamina drain while blocking (default key E). Adding Mental FortificationMental Fortification is also helpful, as it lowers the chance of being crowd-controlled (CC’d) while blocking, which can be situationally useful.
