Any tips on leveling a rogue? I am soloing pve leveling. It seems kind of squishy and was looking for any tips. Thank you for any advice.
Stick ‘em with the pointy end?
Definitely start leveling First Aid ASAP. It helps.

Use cheap shot, kidney shot and Gouge to avoid damage as best you can.
Use Sap to control mobs you don’t want to deal with immediately.
Use blind to avoid getting dead.
Use slice and Dice, Expose armor and Rupture for damage over eviscerate unless you can generate combo points fast at higher levels.
Manage your energy flow, never go to zero if you can help it, never let your energy go to 100 for any duration.
Level First aid and Cooking, you will need both.

This is indeed something to learn and practice immediately from the newbie garden onward.

Rogues are very squishy especially early on. We can’t handle multiple enemies at same time like other classes like hunters, mages, warlocks etc. You have to pick anx choose your battles, try and get single mobs or sap one kill the other etc.
Stuns and kicks to interrupt casts. First aid is great for non hybrid classes that don’t have a self heal.
It gets better once you get more skills and a bit of gear. I generally try and stay a level or 2 higher than the mobs especially early on.

Just the tip. Backstab.

Some refer to that as hugging from behind.
You are missed, Corpseknife.

until you get some cooldowns its one mob at a time, keep a stack of food or two in the bags and level first aid
prioritize green quests when you have them

i think it was over dual specs
Man was tired, boss. It was a lot of things that added up. Folk you enjoy gaming with slipping away as well takes a toll.
Daily BRD, y’all. Never forget.
daily brd and dysil are back
i still see the guild tag here and there and dys was pretty active as of a couple of weeks ago
i dont know if it was forums or mankrik chat but i remember corpseknife saying he would likely be back one day

Play combat swords. It’s the best leveling spec and it’s undebatable. If you want to play daggers unlock dual spec.
Look for slow heavy hitting swords on your MH ignore the dps on it. Look for Fast ones on offhand.
Always pickpocket humanoid mobs. This is where you find your food and get easy lockpicking skill ups from . Don’t be bad and fall behind on lockpicking.
Lastly, make friends. Sometimes it’s difficult for Rogues to find groups.
if you think your rogue is too squishy get some armor kits for you chest/legs/hands/feet. the extra armor adds up
