Any fellow rogue's out there wanna share their Secrets or give any tips on where or IF you're soloing once hitting level 51. It's painfully difficult and the risk is not even remotely worth the reward. Was hoping some of you out there might have a few tricks up your sleeve that I haven't been trying.
I started a thread in the gameplay section where people have been outlining their methods of killing the new 2 dot elementals (solo). I know a few rogues have posted there, and gone into a bit of detail which they ignore, and their methods for each fight.. might want to take a look at that!
Outside of that, my Rogue is a bit below 51, so I can't really help a ton lol..
Do you have your dual dagger skill yet Kindair or are you still using your axe but in your offhand? I agree with the Elemental info but getting a solo pull with how dense the mobs are is half the battle and 1 out of the 4 mobs being our only safe bet is sadly a crappy ROI when dealing with this xp curve.

Actually their social aggro radius is very small, if there even is one.
Pulls are not an issue (except the fact that you have to pull and thus can't use Ravage). Ice and Fire are easy, Electric are easy sometimes, assbeaters other times. Just avoid Earth.
I usually just pull them with ravage. You just have to be very careful.
Edit:
I don't have my dual dagger skill, but I like the other bonusses from double dagger more than what the axe offers. I think it's just as good to use kota dagger+zaraax as it is to use kota dagger+sili axe. I used the dagger axe combo, but think the lifetap proc and the added crit chance made me decide to go double daggers.
Ah yes, just saw it. I lose 16 DR for using my dagger rather than my axe. I gain 91 crit chance, which is 2% and daggers give 2.5% crit chance in my offhand. I don't know if I crit that much more with the dagger, but it seems like a nice tradeoff.
And daggers look better.
Put Clout back on your hotbar - it works on the elementals.
Get food from the Afrit NPC (trade in one bag for food) - its the best I can find so far and has saved me a lot of times with a leftover DoT.
Do the Ferral Mask line if you haven't already - heals me for ~1K every 45sec.
Double is 51 and only has dagger in mainhand - don't have Criminal Intent yet.
Stay away from Earth. Fire and Ice are simple.
ditto Voocas assessment. Clout is your friend. use it religiously.
Edit: Alos, Im in full agreement with Swag (I think) on buying or making Talismans of Regeneration. They counteract the fire dot and help you kill faster
thanks for all the input guys. Guess I need to go shopping. heh
