Successful solo rogues, what is your secret?

[LastTourniquet]

Rogue just feels really weak in my opinion. Out of the 3 classes I have played to level 15 (I plan on playing all 6 classes to 15+ before the demo ends) Rogue, by far, feels like the wettest paper towel with its starting gear, and even with decent drops just seems to maybe catch up to the other classes that still have their starting gear.

The PvE side of things feels bad because it takes you 10x more hits to kill anything vs any other class, while using the shortest range weapon that puts you in the most danger.

The PvP side of things feels just as bad because of the same reasons for PvE but also you just get folded in 1-3 hits depending on what class you end up fighting, assuming its a 1v1.

So my question to successful Rogue players, what are you doing exactly. Are you just avoiding fights as much as possible and playing the loot & scoot game? Are you only engaging in fights with certain NPCs or Classes?

What sort of gear are you looking for to not feel like a deflated balloon? Do you feel that Rogue is heavily gear dependent as opposed to the other classes? Are you playing solo in the goblin dungeon or the normal one or maybe even High Roller?

Poison Blades, Friends and Stealth.

You are a give and take class, if you can get your hits off, use your speed and if there backstabs you become all a sudden feared

With backstab/perk bonuses/skills you can actually do some burst damage from behind if you aim for the head. Specially if you have +atk modifiers in your set.
I don't know if you are playing solo dungeon or solo at the normal dungeon
That said, what you said is mostly true. Your "thing" is opening chests, running fast and maybe ambushing and killing in two secs with high equipment. Yeah, you do ♥♥♥♥♥♥ damage without equipment, which I believe is fine because invisibility is Kinda OP conceptually.

You pve value is looting, not killing.
And your pvp value scales good with equipment, since atk bonus modifiers benefit you the most since you have the highest atk speed.

What would you say in an appropriate amount of gear to start trying to engage in fights? I have had some instances where I feel like I had pretty decent gear but it still takes me 5 or 6 hits to kill players, which is often too to get off before they just bonk you in the head and kill you.

Also I am talking both Goblin dungeon and the Normal dungeon.

none of your business, rogue is the class that deals the most damage just so you know...i've exited more dungeons with rogue than any other class.

Rogue deals the most damage to a target that is standing still not moving... if it has good gear. Otherwise, no, that is just a flat out lie.

Ive had fun messing around with groups as a solo rogue. I just go invisible and take out their last guy. If I can ruin their day I've done my job successfully haha.

Sometimes I just fall back after killing one and then set up another ambush
