Rogue Class

Masters of shadow, deception and the perfectly timed strike. Rogues slip past danger unseen, then unleash a burst of damage before their target can react. Fast, cunning and opportunistic, they reward careful positioning and sharp timing, and shine in duels and when picking their fights.

Shape of the class

Strengths at a glance

Tap a rating to see why.

• Solo leveling 6

  High damage and stealth help you choose your fights, but with no self-healing and little room for error, levelling is slower than for pet classes.

• Dungeons & groups 5

  Strong damage and crowd control are useful, but Rogues bring very few buffs to a group.

• Raiding 6

  Good melee damage, but melee slots are contested and raids rarely need many Rogues.

• PvP 9

  Stealth, stuns and burst damage make Rogues among the strongest duellists, able to choose when and where fights begin.

• Farming 7

  Stealth lets you skip danger and pick your targets, and lockpicking adds extra loot, though large groups are hard to handle.

• Gold efficiency 7

  Cheap gear and extra income from pickpocketing and lockboxes keep costs low, though poisons are an ongoing expense.

• Ease of play 6

  The core rotation is easy to learn, but staying alive in melee without self-healing makes Rogues unforgiving for newer players.

• Survivability 6

  Strong escape and evasion tools let Rogues get out of trouble, but leather armour and no self-healing mean you must avoid damage.

• Mobility 7

  Speed boosts, stealth and escapes make repositioning easy, but you must be in melee range to deal damage.

• Profession_synergy 6

  Lockpicking is a useful class skill, and Alchemy and Engineering add potions and gadgets, but there is no direct profession bonus.

• Strong PvP
• Strong farming
