Rogue Equipment and Stats
The Rogue uses a variety of daggers, but many players prefer the Rapier sword, as it offers far more range. As you want to be as fast as possible, the Rogue needs to use cloth armor. To further increase movement and attack speed, Agility is the Rogue's most important stat. Other than that, any physical damage bonus is more than welcome.

Dark and Darker Rogue Tips and Tricks
The Rogue should always be played as a stealthy melee class, but it's up to you to decide whether you want to be an aggressive PvP player or use your hiding skills to avoid combat. In any case, make good use of the Rogue's high interaction speed to loot as much as you can at the start of the game, then move on to a fight -or portal.
When fighting with the Rogue, it's best to stab a few times (preferably in the back, starting from stealth mode) and then retreat. It's possible to win a 1 vs 3 PvP fight if you manage to isolate group members, but because of the Rogue's vulnerability, it's much safer to only target other solo players.
The Rogue's main weakness is their low HP and reliance on stealth- and backstab-based attack bonuses. They also have low resistance against magic damage.
