Hello,
So my rogue is level 169 atm, soon to be 170, however I am having trouble getting more than 1 bar of xp per elix (even though I have a 180 hybrid druid dmging/healing offgroup). At first I thought it was my stats or skills, but I have looked through the threads and the stickied guides along with consulting rogues on my server and all my stats and skills appear to be perfect... So I am thinking it is where I am leveling.

In case you find something drastically wrong, here are my stats:
STR: 20(215) Attack: 2879
DEX: 345(440) Defense: 1480
FOC: 10(50) Damage: 1238
VIT: 495(585)

My skills are Reflex, Riposte, Shadow, Sneaky, and Life Steal

Right now I am leveling at the 170+ room (right before Sreng room), with 1-1.2 bars per elix, and I have been told that I could also be leveling in the Hallway, Trolls, or the Snorri pit. While leveling in the room, I usually clear it or have 1-2 mobs remaining.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! THANK YOU!!!!

Level in the Snorri pit. They don't use skills, as long as you avoid the trolls. If they take too long, or you keep getting adds, just level in the 179 room or something.

Why do you have almost 600 vitality with a druid? My mage runs 425 and that's with rubbish armour. If your druid has a decent bark and can keep you alive, dump some of those points into dex/strength depending on your build.

In my humble opinion; having druid offgrp i would dump lifesteal for quickstrike, drop/reduce reflex because of bark/wind/etc from druid and consider dbl attack (unless using froz/dl dagger which will make dbl too slow), and lastly if sneaky doesnt get cast enough because of mob aggro always consider rend too (i personally us sneaky over rend but a lot of rogues i know at 170s like rend)

I run a similar stats setup- not knowing ur available items i think all is good there.

Trolls- too slow. Snorri pit mobs too far above your level. The room above snorri pit might be too high as well. The room before getting to Sreng cave is low 170s mobs i think which should let you kill em faster and garner that little extra xp; however 1.2 bars at 170 is not horrible at all. If you kill to quick running out into hall for a few kills before re-entering room worked well for me.

A slight tweak of the skills will prob be enough to get the exta dps u need for more xp- but of all the above "advice" you should definitely put quickstrike in ur arsenal.... The +5 from dl gloves puts my qs stronger than my auto and its free dmg!

And might i add i loved ur druid guide- got mine to lvl 140 following it so thank you very much

IMO you should drop dex down to 300 with add ons and up strength. No matter what build qs is a must have. Lifesteal and reflex and ss are dex skills while sneeky, rend, qs, riposte are str. With 300 dex you will still have a fairly good ss and reflex but your dmg will go up on autos and str skills. May i ask what rings you wear and charm? I used royal ls, riposte,qs and reaper ring with midnight ammy and 50dmg charm aggy pw str brace and 50/50 dex vit rift skull. I believe i averaged 1.5-1.8 bars a lix at 170. Not 100% sure tho as it was a while back.

sneaky is a terrible skill to use while lvling. ditch that like an ugly date and use quick strike. as far as stats, it's really all personal preference. Having an offgrp druid, lower your dex and vit.

i went high dex/vit build for the survivablity, but you shouldn't need to do that.

Well first I would suggest take some points out of vit and drop them in str...level on trolls until 171. Level at the troll tunnel near ley once after 171 I would suggest snori pit. Also since u have a druid u should drop reflex for quick strike

Sneaky is a great way to start

with how fast rogues kill, wasting 35 points on a skill you get to use every other kill at best is pointless. sneaky is amazing for bossing, but in my personal opinion it should never be used in a lvling build.

as far as where to lvl, just find the place you are most comfortable with. trolls are good if you have a group, i wouldn't solo though (even with offgrp druid). i never lixed in the snorri pit as it made me burn more resto's than i wanted to. hallways are decent if you are strictly solo. and rooms are good if you have a ranger to camo
