WoW: Forever · Class
Rogue
Rogues are most successful when their deeds never come to light. Fond of poisons and silent projectile weapons, rogues rely on a blend of stealth and minor mysticism. Usually in the employ of rich nobles or local governments, the rogue redistributes wealth or eliminates designated targets. A rogue's allegiance lasts only as long as the latest contract.

Tips
- Stealth halves your speed and lasts until you cancel it, so use it to choose your fights rather than to travel.
- Ambush needs stealth, a spot behind the target and a dagger in your main hand. Check all three before you commit to it as an opener.
- Sinister Strike builds combo points and Slice and Dice spends them: more points keep its attack speed boost running for longer.
- Sap takes one humanoid out of a fight before it starts. It only works on targets not yet in combat, and any damage wakes them.
- Vanish takes you out of sight and frees you from slowing effects, which makes it your way out when a fight turns against you.
