Attacks that deal big damage, even if they are not safe, should be prioritized. Since so many of the Seekers just died, their bodies can be used for Corpse Explosion detonations.

While the Rogue does not typically excel in the center of a brawl, they are incredibly adept at picking targets and isolating them. Try to focus down on enemies in isolation and those on the fringes, ideally disengaging and moving away from larger clusters of foes after the damage is done.
