I played around a little with sub rogue. One issue I had was if I was fighting one mob and then another mob showed up, I would lose some health. Sap works with a mob out of combat, but what can you do in combat? I should say I did not get very fair. Do you basically rely on crimson vial when you have to fight multiple mobs?
In the situation you described you use Blind.
Usually blind, yeah. Usually the best defence is a good offense so I’d recommend just going Vin Diesel mode and shadow dance/shadow blades. If you’re caught in a bad situation no shame in using some cooldowns.
use shuriken storm to build CP’s rapidly then alternate with finisher. shuriken storm is aoe and you get a CP for each enemy you hit. so with 4 mobs on you, shuriken storm gives you 4 cps… evicserate… shuriken storm 4 cps eviseratae. but you got honor among theves giving u CP as well plus that other skill i forget i roll with deeper strategem so im droppin 6cp eviscerates, nightblades, and death from above
also, use evasion when you got lots of melle comin at u
Blind one, pop evasion/cos, use your cd’s. If things get too spicy just vanish
I was playing around with a low level rogue (about level 15-25), so it’s mostly blind and crimson vial for defenses. I did notice that when I was trying Outlaw, the 3 abilities I was using most of the time (pistol shot/sinister strike/???) seemed to hit harder than (shuriken toss/backstab/evisercate) when I was trying subtley. I assume that is because more of the subtley dps is built into the shadowstrike/shadowdance use?
