I just rolled a rogue and am starting to realize how dynamic these little buggers are. He's only level 15 now, but I have noticed that he is missing a good percentage of his dagger swings on npcs 15-18, more as the level increases. Often my sinister strike doesn't hit, or gouge misses, other attacks do as well. Is this fairly normal for a low level? I can imagine it's because he's duel wielding and getting in more attacks and that I'm just seeing more misses. The annoying parts are when sap or gouge miss and I have to re-adjust for a fight that should be easy.
My other question is about rotations. Right now I go with gouge-backstab-sinister strike-eviserate and they're usually dead; when stealthed i start with garrote-gouge-backstab(if enought points)-eviserate. When would I apply my other finishing moves, slice and dice/expose armor? Right now I use slice/dice when there are more than 1 npc on me.
I've been reading a up on this class, but a lot is geared toward upper levels. Are there any suggestions for levels 15-30 or should I just keep on keepin' on?
