- Prioritize bringing bandages instead of potions into a raid, because potions last 30% less time and therefore also heal less on rogues due to his abysmal Buff Duration stat.
- Use your invisibility skill to ambush enemy players or de-aggro monsters.
- Use your throwing knives, they can do quite a bit of damage. You can even apply your on hit debuff skills and poison with them.
- You are not as durable as a fighter, don't take big group fights head on, prioritize ambushing their low health or supportive team mates, to quickly turn the tides of battle into your favor.
- If you are hiding in the dark, be sure to unequip your potions from your quick-slots, since they glow in the dark and would give your position away. In the same vein, enemies can see your weapons glowing in the dark if you use your buffs on them.
- You can use Hide while jumping up in the air if you crouch or shift walk, this will confuse the enemy and make your movements unpredictable.
- You cannot use your Hide skill while holding a light source in your hands.
