So, i want to try to use Dual Daggers, because it looks a bit more of a challenge then holding down a button to shoot arrows and move.

Is there any tips for Dual Dagger Rogues? Please and thanks.

Stealth and flanking are extremely important. Twin Fangs sucks if you miss the Flanking Bonus.

 

Get in stealth, take out high-priority targets and try not to take ANY damage because unlike Warriors and Mages, you have no shield mechanic (Guard/Barrier) you only have stealth. Its rather fun playing a high-risk medium-reward rogue, because its so easy to fail. Get hit once, and you're crippled. Get your burst out, then leave... Assassin "I was never here" skill is good for that.

Apart from that, realize you can't beat every opponent easily. Archers and mages can be dealt with easily enough (Mind you, Archers can shoot you in stealth and Mages glyphs destroy you), but other melee enemies will mess you up. They all have AOE Cleave attacks, and a clumped force of footmen means you're going to find it impossible to flank: you'll keep getting shoved out of position, while taking heavy damage from random swings. If you're going to be in an extended fight, be sure you have a barrier first. Otherwise, say good bye to all your health potions.

 

Core Skills:

- Stealth (+Upgrade can come later)

- Twin Fangs (+Upgrade)

- Flank Attack (+Upgrade)

- Evade (So you can escape an area quickly, and look cool while doing it)

 

Basically, get skills that allow you to quickly burst down a target. Critical Hit chance/damage, automatic-crit from stealth, etc al lthat good stuff. I can see Tempest or Assassin working, although I'd prefer Assassin.

Good choice! I'm starting my second play through as a dw rogue, because I love it so much.

 

Just remember that you're a bit fragile, but you'll be awesome at burst damage, so it helps if you take an in-and-out strategy. Step into the fight, deal your burst combo, step out.

 

It's all about chaining your abilities in a smart way. A good starting combo for the first levels is Flank Attack > Stealth (skip this if Flank Attack is upgraded) > Twin Fangs. Higher level combos depend on your spec, like the assassins Mark of Death > Stealth > Hidden Blades > Flank Attack > Shadow Strike > Twin Fangs. Always aim to use the flanking bonus and attacking from stealth.

 

For stats, focus on Dexterity first, then crit chance (eventually you'll get tons of this from passives), crit damage, armor pen (also tons from passives). 

 

Be careful with melee AoE. Bears with their standing attack, shield enemies with their shield bash, 2H enemies with their cleaves. They all can hit you really hard if you're behind them.

 

Don't take Parry, it's useless. If you want a more defensive build, try a masterwork item with guard on hit. But keep in mind you don't need these defensive tricks if you play smart and fast.

I love evade for dodging those aoe attacks. Tempest can answer aoe with an ice flask. In general i found tempest to be a ton of fun. Stealth strike is awesome, espesially when you spam it 5 times. It has a kockdown effect too.
