Strengths
- Good during Solo Play
- High Burst Damage
- Great Mobility
- Good Utility
Weaknesses
- Squishy
- Low AOE DPS until higher levels
- High APM required compared to other classes
Overview
This Rogue PVE DPS build does particularly well when dealing with single targets but also can hold itself well in AOE grinding scenarios, dungeons and so on. The Rogue is perfect for those looking for a more difficult class to play that requires higher APM when compared to other classes. Playing this will require you to memorize and perform your rotations well as skills like 
Doublestrike and 
Thrash have specific conditions to use properly.
The Rogue offers a large amount of tools that allow any Rogue player to do well in different scenarios. Access to 
Stealth lets you reposition and move as needed even if its use is minimal during combat. However, Stealth utility doesn't stop there as 
Soothing Shadows allows for constant self healing between mob pulls while 
Draining Poison helps with mana sustain.

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
Single Target Burst Rotation ↴
- Make sure to always start the fight like a true rogue and thats with Draining Poison and positioned behind the enemy with Stealth.
First you should use 
Death's Mark so once the target dies you also regenerate some HP, making it easier to chain kills. Use 
Stab with extra damage by being behind the enemy, 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.
AOE PVE Rotation ↴
- 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.
- Use
Smoke Bomb to start ticking down enemy HP with the constant DPS done by the AOE smoke. Use 
Throw and Thrash again to deal extra damage before using 
Caltrops and forcing mobs to remain slowed. 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, knocking them down and making it easier for you to follow up with 
Shadow Cascade to debuff mobs even further.
- 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.
