That's how I do it. My DW Rogue has a much better survival rate when I'm not controlling her (the AI is better at Parrying than I am).
Parry is a worthwhile skill, then? I'm playing a DW rogue on Nightmare but didn't take it as I didn't know if it was worth it.
In theory, it can be used to avoid all melee damage.Parry is a worthwhile skill, then? I'm playing a DW rogue on Nightmare but didn't take it as I didn't know if it was worth it.

The AI doesn't use it that well, but it does better than me.
Yep, daggers can parry - completely - a dragons 'paw' strike.

So it's the Rogue's Block and Slash? I found that to be a lot of fun on 2H Warrior, so I'll give it a try.
Edit: Wait, doesn't it have an upgrade that makes it cost no stamina to block something? That's pretty baller.

That's right, and yes - it does have that upgrade. That skill is what tempts me - every time - to spec Sera as DW, rather than archer. Because Parry/Block and Slash etc build focus because you are fighting 'right' the Parry skill keeps her alive and build focus to unleash Thousand Cuts.

As mentioned above, very worthwhile. I've never played nightmare - too chicken - but I would have thought that it was almost a compulsory skill on that difficulty level.

I wouldn't be surprised; survivability is my biggest issue right now and rogue has limited options to mitigate damage and aggro. I'll respec for a bit less damage and maybe I can wade in a little more. 
Thanks for the info.

No problem - good luck!
