Unlike most of the 'mini-campaign' DLCs, Leliana's Song is relatively spoiler-free I'd recommend doing it any time after finishing her personal quest. Hitting more frequently also means that you have a much better chance of damaging your enemy with poison and rune effects, which you should utilize at every opportunity.Īs for armor, go with the best light armor you can find in the base game, Wade's Superior Drakeskin set is quite good and relatively easy to obtain ( relevant walkthrough) alternatively, if you have the Leliana's Song DLC, you can unlock the Battledress of the Provocateur in the Origins campaign by completing a minor collection quest.

You may be tempted by the higher base damage on a dual-sword or sword-and-dagger setup, but don't be fooled - the attack speed on a dual-dagger setup more than compensates for the lower base damage. Two daggers is the ideal weapon setup, no question. I don't claim that it's always 100% accurate, but it's a solid foundation with no bullshit. This is everything I wish I had known about playing as a rogue when I started playing.

If you're playing an archer, try this guide.) (Note: this advice is primarily geared towards a DW Rogue.
