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 
Stealth not only allows you to navigate through the world of Ashes of Creation but also halves the cooldown of your 
Stab when using it from stealth. However, Stealth utility doesn't stop there as 
Soothing Shadows allows for constant self healing throughout the whole leveling journey.

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
- While the rotation is very easy to pull off, you should make sure to always start fights from behind the enemy while in Stealth to make use of the extra damage done with Stab followed by
Thrash. Continue the rotation by using 
Acrobatic Strike once the mob turned to face you, this way you build the Advantage buff.
- Cast
Doublestrike so it casts Stab again for extra damage, spending Advantage. Use Thrash again then continue with 
Feint to boost resistance by increasing your evasion rate, using Thrash one last time, applying bleed and making it easy to transition into 
Lacerate to turn the bleeding debuff into Hemorrage for extra damage over time.
- Start by using Stealth to get the Advantage buff before starting to gether mobs together using your bow. Once you've done that, use Thrash to do some damage to a first mob before using
Throw and Thrash again. Use Lacerate to deal damage and apply bleed to all stacked enemies, then use Thrash (this one will do AOE Damage thanks to 
Trounce) and also apply Advantage again and use it on making 
Kick hit all mobs.
- Doing that will also grant you the Trounce buff, making it easy to follow up with
Flurry for more AOE damage. Use Feint to boost evasion rate and also gain Advantage once more. Use Doublestrike to finish off the targets as it will cast Lacerate.
