New player for both the game and the community. When I just play overworld content, like quest and roaming around, I just take too much damage, and can’t deal enough, to the random enemy encounters. Between every fight with a single enemy, I have to eat food or wait for vial. I don’t really understand how to efficiently use the combo system, or how to properly open battles. I read around on sites and these forums, and I kept seeing a “stun rotation” come up… so am I suppose to maybe keep the enemy in stun with Kidney Shot and Cheap Shot to reduce incoming damage (I ignored them up until now)? What skills in my kit are useful and which ones aren’t as practical? I want to be able to use every specialization to it’s utmost best ability, so advice for all three would be helpful, but any advice for 2 or just 1 of them could also help. Also, any sites that I could use in future that you guys think are reliable.
tl:dr - How should I open up my fights? How do you use the combo system best? What is a stun rotation? Any trustworthy sources to learn rotations and general mechanics?
I would just read through Icyveins dude, or look up guides on Youtube

in open world content a rogue is gonna be a tough first class. honestly if I were you I would probably play another class as your first class. at least try out another class to see if you like it. only would set you back a few hours of game time but would probably be worth it. if you are set on rogue then remember that most of what you should be doing is skipping any mob that isnt a part of the quest. or building a pure AOE rogue build to handle multiple mobs quickly. If you decide to try another class I would go with hunter or druid. both are very easy leveling specs and both have invisibility eventually (if thats what you wanted from rogue)

My first tip would be, don’t use icyveins.
Case in point: " Fatebound is the higher performing option in all content" Yeah… no. :V

Now is not the best time to rogue. But my advice is thus: keep your back to the wall when fighting, pull small packs of no more than 2. Do not use vanish when soloing. Try and over gear your targets. Use stuns when your HP is low. Use distract on pathing monsters to pull them out of sync for better pulls. Outlaw can go toe to toe but is slow dps, Sin is faster dps but very squishy. Don’t try and solo rares in general. If you do put on all low level green gear, that will trick the system.

Useless comment. Tf? If everyone is waiting for a good time to play Rogue there would be no Rogues as of the start of this xpac.
