Best Rogue builds - Dragon Age: Inquisition (DAI)

This post will go through the best Rogue builds in the Dragon Age Inquisition. This class is popular as it rewards you with fast-paced combat and stealth. Moreover, you can choose between ranged or melee offensive options.

There are many Rogue builds to choose from in Dragon Age Inquisition. I try to go into great detail on what abilities you should pick for maximum utility.

Let's go through all of these builds

Rogue early game, Levels 1 - 10

Early in the game, you will have no specialization, due to this you should pick the correct base rogue skills. Here are my recommendations for different weapons.

Bow weapon

This is the recommended progression if you plan on using a Ranged weapon. Overall, this is a safer setup than melee in the early game, especially on higher difficulties.

Order	Skill	Description
1	Stealth	Survival ability for the rogue early in the game
2	Long Shot + Archer’s Lance	This ability will be the first one that ensures high damage output for Archer Rogue.
3	Death from Above	We mainly take this to unlock the next ability
4	Leaping Shot + Shot from the Shadows	You can enter stealth after the attack, utilize this to gain additional damage boost, and to stay safe
5	Evasion	We take it mainly for progression
6	Evade + Shadow Step	Use this ability to reposition rogue: - Run from enemies - Get closer to them. For example, to use Leaping Shot.
7	First Blood	Attacks, when the enemy has a high HP deal, increase damage. Will work well with Long Shot + Stealth.

Dual Wield - Dagger weapons

Dual Daggers is an extremely powerful setup for Rouge. The early game might be difficult due to low survivability. However, we take abilities that allow entering stealth to avoid being killed.

Order	Skill	Description
1	Stealth + Lost in the Shadows	Stealth is essential early in the game for a rogue so that you could increase the Inquisitor damage or hide from enemies
2	Flank Attack + Skirmisher	Rogue enters stealth after the second hit
3	Twin Fangs + Ripping Fangs	We take it to unlock other abilities, but it still gives a good option to deal damage
4	Dance of Death	Many of your hits will deal killing blows early in the game as you will deal large amounts of damage.
5	Sneak Attack	Because rogues concentrate on attacking from flanks, this will double the critical rate
6	Easy to Miss	Reduces threat generation that rogue generates. It is important as you can be easily killed if the enemy targets you

Once you reach level 10+, you should be ready to pick the specialization and we can start looking into the best rogue builds.

Dual Wield Artificer Rogue

This type of rogue Dual Wield build is specifically made to use mines and traps. It is a spectacular sight where the whole battlefield is covered with elemental explosions.

Moreover, you can use Rogue abilities from the Double Dagger and Sabotage trees. They allow for multiple guaranteed critical hits. Of course, playing correctly this build requires practice. However, when you learn how to use it you will be rewarded with Rogue experience not seen in other games.

Ability points allocation

Before starting the build respec your ability points

To fully utilize any build correct ability points allocation is necessary. Here is the order in which I would obtain spells and their upgrades:

Order	Skill	Description
1	Spike Trap + Pyrotechnics	AOE knockdown of enemies. Good for better battlefield control
2	Opportunity Knocks	This ability allows the rogue to decrease cooldowns for each critical hit the Rogue Artificer and your party members do. Due to this, you can constantly spam most of your abilities if you have a high critical rate.
3	Set Them Up	Damage boost to mines
4	Elemental Mines + Throw Everything	Artificer Rogue main opener if there are many enemies. Some practice is needed to correctly utilize the mines
5	And Take Them Down	Bonus critical chance for you and party members synergizes well with “Opportunity Knocks”
6	Stealth + Lost in the Shadows	I recommend using this ability in two cases: - Correctly position yourself for Elemental mines - Runaway or get up if you are knocked down
7	Caltrops	Progression ability
8	Looked Like it Hurt	your main passive ability is to regenerate stamina. For every critical hit, you get +10 stamina
9	Cheap Shot	Critical hits will sunder the armor, making enemies take more damage
10	Throwing Blades + Precision Targeting	This Sabotage tree ability will guarantee that you do multiple hits in a row.
11	Flank Attack + Skirmisher	The Rogue can instantly enter stealth if it successfully lands the attack
12	Bloodied Prey	Gives a bonus +10% damage if the enemy has a lower HP than you
13	Unforgiving Chain	Rogue build can build up a critical rate for each hit until you land a critical hit.
14	Spinning Blades + Neverending Spin	You will use this Double Dagger tree ability after Throwing Blades. If you have a high critical rate, you will be able to reset the cooldown of Throwing Blades and get enough stamina for Elemental Mines.
15	Easy to Miss	This ability will reduce the threat that Rogue generate

Bonus abilities:

• Hail of Arrows - you can triple your damage with skills like Throwing Blade or Elemental Mines
• Poisoned Weapons - add additional damage bonus and poison enemies if you hit them while the effect is enabled
• Pincushion - because you will hit the same enemy multiple times, this ability will greatly improve your damage

Main stats

There are numerous equipment options in the Dragon Age Inquisition. To decide the best gear decide on it based on the stats priority below. Keep in mind this is more geared toward level 15+ Rogue build.

Due to the nature of your stamina management, you will need to have a high critical chance before investing in critical damage.

• Critical chance – your main priority, you should be keeping it at 70%+.

• Cunning – this complements critical chance, as mentioned above, your target is a 70% critical chance

• Critical damage – once you reach the critical chance you should be pumping as much as possible to this stat. Your damage will skyrocket due to your all hits being critical

• Dexterity - supplement for critical damage and Attack.

• Attack – the least important stat that you should try to get.

Tactics and tips

In this section, I will go through some tips on how to best utilize this rogue build:

• As already mentioned for this build to shine, you will need at least a 50% critical chance
• Elemental Mines is an extremely strong ability. However, for it to work the best, make sure you use it on a group of enemies
• Spike Trap can knock down multiple enemies. You can use it after you throw Elemental Mines
• Throwing Blades + Spinning Blades are the main abilities for this Rogue build. Use them to instantly reduce the cooldown of Elemental Mines and restore a large portion of stamina. However, for this to work you need a high critical chance.

Tempest Archer Rogue build

This type of rogue build specializes in using Flasks to do two main things: control time and use abilities without cooldown. This Rogue specialization is extremely versatile, as you can get instant cooldowns, time slow and strong protection.

So you can expect some never-before-seen action with this build in Dragon Age Inquisition. The main idea of Tempest is to combo these flasks to sustain them for longer periods.

Ability points allocation

Before starting the build respec your ability points

To fully utilize any build correct ability points allocation is necessary. Here is the order in which I would obtain spells and their upgrades:

Order	Skill	Description
1	Flask of Fire + Unquenchable Flames	Using Flask of Fire with the upgrade will make Tempest Rogue abilities have no cooldown or stamina cost. So you can spam abilities like Throwing Blades or Leaping Shot
2	Fury of the Storm	When you have stamina below 50% it will increase the damage that you deal
3	Thousand Cuts	This is the Focus ability that synergizes well with Flask of Fire. You do not expend any Focus if you use it while Flask of Fire is active. So in a pinch, you can use this ability two times. Of course, if you do not plan on using this bug Thousand Cuts can be extremely effective against boss enemies like dragons
4	Killer's Alchemy	When using an elixir you receive an increased damage bonus
5	Flask of Lightning	This Flask slows time around you, meaning that you greatly increase your DPS. However, it can also help you to avoid critical situations.
6	Caltrops	We take this for progression
7	Looked Like It Hurt	This ability will restore stamina for each critical hit that you do
8	Cheap Shot	Critical hits will sunder enemy armor
9	Throwing Blades + Precision Targeting	This is your main damage-dealing skill. With Flask of Fire, you can spam it indefinitely to shred through a single enemy
10	Stealth	Although we take it to unlock the next ability, Stealth is useful for escaping rough situations or at the start of the combat to position yourself appropriately
11	Evasion	A moderate passive buff that lets you evade attacks
12	Evade + Shadow Step	Your main ability to move throughout the battlefield. Shadow Step is the required ability for an Archer to change position at will
13	Death from Above	We mainly take this to unlock the next ability
14	Leaping Shot	This is a powerful ability that allows you to deal a large amount of damage and escape from enemies.
15	Strafing Shots	Because you will be using Auto attacks a lot, this will ensure that you do not lose your agility and can move freely while shooting
16	Flask of Frost	This will allow us to make some combos to extend other elixir duration.
17	Flaskmaster	We mainly take this to unlock the next ability
18	Ride the Storm	This passive ability is a powerful one. It will give you a bonus duration of 3 seconds for a Flask if it is used after another one. So if you start with Flask of Frost and then activate Flask of Fire it will have a duration of 8 seconds!
19	First Blood	Will buff your damage to enemies that have high HP.
20	Upgrade Flask of Lightning to Stormrage	Gives additional time for the time-slowing elixir of 2 seconds

Main stats

There are numerous equipment options in the Dragon Age Inquisition. To decide the best gear decide on it based on the stats priority below. Keep in mind this is more geared toward level 15+ Inquisitor.

• Critical Chance – you should have it at 50%+. It will synergize well with Looked Like It Hurt. This ability will increase your stamina restoration.

• Critical Damage – once you have Critical Chance covered invest in Critical Damage. You will see huge damage numbers when using Flask of Fire and Throwing Blades in tandem.

• Dexterity – will boost both attack and Critical damage.

• Cunning - invest enough so that you would keep a critical chance above 50%

• Armor rating – at low levels, until hitting level 11~

Tactics and tips

In this section, I will go through some tips on how to best utilize this rogue build:

• You can use Flask of Fire + Thousand Cuts, to use it two times
• Use Shadow Step to close in on enemies. Then use Leaping Shot to jump away from them and deal a large amount of damage
• Stealth can help you to ready for combat or run away from a situation that could kill the rogue
• Once you have Ride the Storm, the first elixir when a combat starts should be Flask of Frost. After it expires you can either use Flask of Lighting or Flask of Fire to have their duration extended by 3 seconds.
• Throwing Blades should be used when Flask of Fire is active. It is a fast ability that can deal large amounts of damage. Getting a Pincushion will increase this more. You can even forgo Flask of Frost, Flaskmaster, and Ride the Storm to get Pincushion earlier
• Auto-attack is your main damage-dealing way when the Flask of Fire is under cooldown. The best way is to constantly move and activate Shadow Step to change positions. This way enemies will miss you and have to run toward you to catch you.

Artificer Archer Rogue Build

This is a similar build to the Dual Wield Artificer. However, here there will be less emphasis on Mines and more on landing critical hits to reduce cooldown times. With this, you can follow up using devastating Archer skills.

Imagine releasing 12 Projectiles with Leaping Shot, every second. This will obliterate even the strongest enemies in the game.

Ability points allocation

Before starting the build respec your ability points

To fully utilize any build correct ability points allocation is necessary. Here is the order in which I would obtain spells and their upgrades:

Order	Skill	Description
1	Spike Trap + Pyrotechnics	This will be your main ability to knock down enemies. Although it does not do much damage it can disable a group of enemies instantly when they are close to you.
2	Opportunity Knocks	Your best passive ability. Cooldowns are reduced every time you or your companions do a critical hit. This allows you to have much shorter cooldown times if you have a high enough critical rate
3	Set Them Up	Your traps will deal additional damage because you will use them constantly this ability is essential.
4	Elemental Mines	For this build, this is a complementary ability. The reason is that it does not provide any CC. However, it can deal substantial damage if enemies are in a group
5	And Take Them Down	A mandatory passive ability. Your whole party will have an increased critical chance. Greatly buffs the Opportunity Knocks effect.
6	Hail of Arrows	This is one of the most powerful focus abilities in the game. It creates two additional images of yourself. This allows Inquisitor to use triple Leaping Shots for unimaginable damage numbers.
7	Death from Above	We take it mainly for progression to unlock the next ability
8	Leaping Shot + Shot from the Shadows	The main skill that you will use to deal damage. You will release 12 projectiles with a single hit. This works well with Opportunity Knocks.
9	Stealth	Although we take it for progression it will also synergize well with Leaping Shot as you enter stealth. The first hit after stealth will deal additional damage
10	Evasion	The passive ability gives a chance to evade enemy attacks
11	Evade + Shadow Step	This is one of your main abilities to position yourself for perfect Leaping Shots
12	Caltrops	We mainly take it for progression
13	Looked Like it Hurt	Each critical hit will restore stamina. Imagine how well this works with Leaping Shot 12 projectiles
14	Strafing Shots	Allows you to maintain high mobility when auto-attacking
15	First Blood	Inquisitor deals increased damage if enemy HP is above 80%
16	Explosive Shot	We mainly take this for progression
17	Pincushion	Increase your damage when attacking the same enemy.
18	Fallback Plan	We mainly take this for progression
19	Tricks of the Trade	Get a 10% damage bonus, at this point in the game every small damage improvement helps immensely
20	Cheap Shot	Sunder enemy armor with critical hits
21	Ambush	As you will be attacking from stealth use this passive ability to increase armor penetration resulting in bigger damage

Main stats

There are numerous equipment options in the Dragon Age Inquisition. To decide the best gear decide on it based on the stats priority below. Keep in mind this is more geared toward level 15+ Inquisitor.

• Critical chance – I recommend having at least 50%. It will ensure that you both have fast cooldowns and an almost full stamina bar.

• Critical Damage – After you have a high critical rate (50 %+), invest in critical damage. This should be your priority investment as it gives the biggest damage boost.

• Cunning – if you are not able to get direct investment to critical chance get Cunning bonuses

• Attack – provides a larger damage bonus, better than dexterity as you usually get much higher bonuses for Attack

• Dexterity – alternative to critical damage, but provides less bonus

Tactics and tips

In this section, I will go through some tips on how to best utilize this rogue build:

• Starting the fights from Stealth will greatly increase the damage of the first shot
• You should mainly juggle two abilities: Leaping Shot and Evade. Leaping Shot will do large amounts of damage and move you away from enemies. After that, you can use Evade to come close to the enemies again. Then you can repeat with Leaping Shot.
• Hail of Arrows allows you to triple your damage. So this makes boss fights like dragons easy. Just Spam Leaping Shot.
• You can use Spike Trap to Knockdown enemies if they follow you.

Assassin Dual Dagger Rogue Build

This section will cover how you should build the best Dual wield rogue build in Dragon Age Inquisition. This covers the Assassins specialization.

Ability points allocation

Before starting the build respec your ability points

To fully utilize any build correct ability points allocation is necessary. Here is the order in which I would obtain spells and their upgrades:

Order	Skill	Description
1	Throatcutter	Gives a larger damage bonus for the Dual Wield Rogue, the less HP the enemy has.
2	Hidden Blades + Overkill	One of the main Rogue Assassin abilities. It will hit the enemy with six hits each having 300% weapon damage.
3	I Was Never Here	After you deal the finishing blow, the Assassin rogue will enter Stealth. It will allow you to move to the next enemy or slip away from being attacked
4	Knife in the Shadows	Attacking from stealth will make sure that the next hit for dual wield rogue is a critical hit
5	Mark of Death + Mark of Doom	This is an extremely strong ability if used on bosses or other enemies with large pools of HP.
6	Stealth + Lost in the Shadows	Use this ability at the start of the combat to get behind enemy lines or escape if you get the status effect or are knocked down.
7	Caltrops	We take this mainly for progression
8	Looked Like It Hurt	Each critical hit will restore 10 stamina. An essential skill to have the stamina for all the skills
9	Flank Attack + Skirmisher	Will deal two hits with 200% weapon damage. The important part is that the Inquisitor will enter stealth after this.
10	Evasion	Not an especially strong ability but we take it for progression
11	Evade	We mainly take it for progression
12	Shadow Strike + Quick Blade	This ability will do two things: - With the upgrade, you will deal additional damage when attacking from stealth - You will restore 70 stamina when you use it to use other active abilities
13	Twin Fangs + Ripping Fangs	Good synergy with, Shadow Strike as Dual wield rogue will have much MP after it. Twin Fangs will work extremely well when attacking the enemy from the flank.
14	First Blood	This skill will increase the damage that you do to enemies with high HP.
15	Explosive Shot	We mainly take this for progression
16	Pincushion	This passive ability will boost your damage the more hits you do to the same enemy. This works extremely well with Mark of Death
17	Gaps in the Armor	Will boost your armor penetration for all the attacks that Dual wield Rogue does

Main stats

There are numerous equipment options in the Dragon Age Inquisition. To decide the best gear decide on it based on the stats priority below. Keep in mind this is more geared toward level 15+ Inquisitor.

• Flank damage – contrary to what it sounds it provides a damage boost to ALL your damage, so it is even better than Critical damage. The downside is that you always need to attack from the flank.

• Attack – overall increase to your damage on par with Flank damage

• Dexterity – it provides both base attack and also critical damage

• Critical damage – as you will be constantly attacking from stealth, this will result in Critical hits. You need to increase this damage.

• Faster movement speed when in stealth - as you do not have Hook and Tackle skill this stat will allow you to move around the battlefield faster

• Critical chance – I would prioritize this the least, however, it works well until level 10 when your stealth attacks are not yet guaranteed to do critical hits

Tactics and tips

In this section, I will go through some tips on how to best utilize this rogue build:

• Your main priority is to attack enemies from the flank/back. This way you can deal more damage to the enemies
• Shadow Strike can knock back enemies, but most importantly you restore stamina. I recommend using Flank Attack after it to enter stealth and decide your next course of action.
• Use Stealth to enter stealth whenever you need: escape from debilitating effects, enter combat, get behind the enemy's back, or deal more damage with the skill you are about to use

Assassin Archer Rogue Build

Assassin Archer is a viable Rogue specialization. The build mixes in already popular Leaping Shot, to pump up Mark of Death detonation damage. Overall, this build is very powerful on strong enemies like bosses or Dragons.

Moreover, the Assassin Rogue build also mixes in some Stealth for an increased survivability.

Ability points allocation

Before starting the build respec your ability points

To fully utilize any build correct ability points allocation is necessary. Here is the order in which I would obtain spells and their upgrades:

Order	Skill	Description
1	Hidden Blades + upgrade	This is an extremely powerful ability, however, with a long cooldown. I recommend using this after you activate the Mark of Death. Any upgrade will work, but pick Overkill for a boost in single-target damage.
2	I Was Never Here	One of many ways for this build to enter stealth - by killing an enemy
3	Knife in the Shadows	Attacking from stealth will guarantee a critical hit
4	Mark of Death	A very powerful ability that should be used on strong enemies like bosses as it requires time to store damage.
5	Caltrops	We mainly take it for progression
6	Looked Like It Hurt	One of the passive abilities that will allow you to restore stamina from critical hits. You will do them many due to many opportunities to attack from stealth
7	Death from Above	We mainly take this for progression
8	Leaping Shot + Shot from the Shadows	Use this ability to damage large, grouped, or close-proximity enemies. Moreover, you will enter stealth after this. The main use for this ability is to escape harm
9	Long Shot	Another ability archer rogue can use to deal damage from far away. I prefer to use it as an opener
10	Stealth + upgrade	Enter stealth whenever you need to: start the combat, escape from enemies, etc. Any upgrade will work: Lost in the Shadows: I prefer this one as it activates instantly Clinging Shadows: this upgrade can give larger damage boosts due to the Knife in the Shadows passive ability
11	Evasion	We mainly take it for progression, but it gives 1/10 chance to evade attack
12	Evade + Shadow Step	Use this Subterfuge tree ability to reposition yourself. I prefer using it with Leaping Shot: move in, then use Leaping Shot to get away from enemies and deal large damage.
13	Shadow Strike + upgrade	This ability will allow your Rogue build to restore stamina and deal substantial damage. Pick an upgrade based on your preference: - Long Shadows: a safer approach that ranges one - Quick Blade: riskier approach, but deals more damage.
14	First Blood	Deal more damage to enemies with 80%+ HP. Works great with Hidden Blades or Long Shot
15	Explosive Shot	We mainly take it for progression but it can deal substantial damage to a group of enemies.
16	Pincushion	Hitting the same enemy multiple times will increase your damage
17	Gaps in the Armor	Increases armor penetration for each hit that the Rogue makes

Stats

• Critical Chance – I suggest getting at least 40%+. Although most of the time you will be attacking from stealth for guaranteed criticals, I would still recommend having sufficient stat

• Critical Damage – your priority stats once you have the critical chance stat covered. It will especially be effective in the late-game

• Dexterity – increases Attack and Critical Damage. However, the latter is increased by less amount (on equipment and crafting materials) than pure Critical Damage.

• Cunning - increases critical chance

• Attack – increases overall damage, but usually, you get smaller bonuses of it than critical damage so it has a lesser priority

Tactics and tips

This archer build has many tactical options on how to play. Here are a few combos that I suggest:

• If you plan to use Mark of Death on the boss enemy, check that your active skills that deal damage are not in a cooldown. You will have 8 seconds and should deal the maximum amount of damage in that time.
• Hidden Blades can be used as a strong opener with First Blood + stealth
• Shadow Step can allow you to create amazing combos like Shadow Step + Leaping Shot dealing large amounts of damage and escaping to stealth. You can then continue with Shadow Strike to restore stamina and move to the next combo
• Once you are level 16+ you should constantly have at least 50% of stamina so use active skills like Explosive Shot and Long Shot to improve your DPS rather than using auto-attack.
