Note for rogue soloing: You can hide/sneak behind a mob, and try to intimidate over and over until you get a resist or success ( "not scaring anyone" result doesn't drop hide, nor aggros ). This means, if you have applied a snare poison, you can ususally get the mob feared and then hit it with a snare poison, and then backstab and melee it while it is feared. Helps a lot to have SoW or JBoots when doing this. This tactic can give you a bit of a boost in dps before the mob starts hitting you, which can make the difference. So this Intimidation skill isn't as ridiculously useless as everyone thinks.

If soloing you can get a backstab off (it is fun): https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=164835

When solo leveling consider the following:
Canyoneer Pike (You can camp this on an ult) Procs at level 5
Locustlure (Not terribly helpful still good)
Glaive of Marltek and Ball of Burlap Yarn (good for pocket snares - easy quest)
Barbarian Rogues are the only rogues with slam (but get a Flayed Barbarian Hide Mask and you can slam with any race of rogue.)

Poisons are look down on as more of a gimmick but in soloing they can be fun:

Halfling rogues level the fastest due to racial exp bonus.
