Go Rogue or go home.
Instead of a straightforward assassin, the Rogue inDragon Age: The Veilguardis flexible.
The build we have come up withfocuses mostly on melee combat, with a high-risk-high-reward concept.
The melee fight style works well with Rogue because of Momentum, the class’s resource.
Like Mage needs Mana to cast spells, Rogue requires Momentum to use skills.
To generate this resource, you just need to hit enemies.
In other words, aggressiveness is rewarded when playing Rogue.
However, Momentum is also the reason why this class has a high skill ceiling.
While you gain Momentum when hitting enemies, you lose it when they hit you.
So, dodging and parrying is mandatory to make this build - and all the others - work.
Your next goal is to unlock a few nodes in the Burst section.
Among them, be sure to get theMomentous Occasionpassive.
With it, you generate 25% more Momentum when you hit Final attacks.
At this point, you have probably reached Level 20 and it’s time to unlock theDuelistspecialization.
Even so, there are some good practices and suggestions to take into consideration.
Rogue can have two single-handed swords and one bow equipped.
Just be sure to upgrade it whenever possible.
A good helm for this build isCarastes Double-Hat.
Another option is theAntivan Parade Helm, which increases the duration and damage of the Necrotic Weapons buff.
Upgrading it increases the maximum number of potions it’s possible for you to carry by one.
On the other hand, if you want more utility, theBrawler’s Decored Leathersarmor is a great option.
Upgrade it to uncommon to gain+15% Momentum generation.
In terms of rings, there are many good options.
When it comes to amulets, look for the ones that come with affixes that increaseStrikeandDurationdamage.
First, you should have all your main three skills enchanted.
Go with+10% Damage per Hitor-15% Cooldown Durationfor Lightning Flask.
Lastly, put the+75% Critical Damagein the Toxic Dash.
The+20% Final Attack Damageshould be the enchantment for both swords you have.
At the same time, for your bow, pick the+15% Charged Attack Damage.
For your armor pieces, put the+15% Affection Durationenchantment in one and+10% Ultimate Generationin the other.
Among the options for the rings, consider using+25% Momentum Generationand+25% Strike Ability Damage.
Moreover, the best enchantment to put in the amulet for this build is+1 Max Necrosis Stacks.
Good luck defeating the gods in Dragon Age: The Veilguard!
