Rogue: Class Starter

Rogue is the stealth specialist: pure damage specs backed by the deepest crowd-control kit in the game. Rogues win fights before they start — by sapping, blinding, and choosing when to engage.

The specializations

• Assassination — poison and bleed damage-over-time pressure.
• Outlaw — swashbuckling blade-and-pistol DPS with a dice-roll buff system.
• Subtlety — burst from stealth: the classic backstab fantasy with heavy opener damage.

Signature utility

Sap and Blind control enemies out of combat; Shroud of Concealment stealthed past entire packs makes Rogues the key to many dungeon skips; Tricks of the Trade hands threat to the tank; and an interrupt plus poisons round out the kit.

Who enjoys Rogue

Players who like control and preparation. With only damage specs, the Rogue's job in a group is damage plus utility — groups notice a Rogue who saps, blinds, and kicks on time.

For current talent builds and spec detail, the class Discords and Wowhead/Icy Veins guides are the crew's recommended deep-dive.
