Rogue
classes (Back)
Description
Rogues are masters of stealth who excel in dealing damage from behind their opponent.
Strengths/Weaknesses
Pros
- Very high melee damage output
- Poisons improve their damage even further
- Unmatched sneak ability allows them to explore almost anywhere unnoticed
- Unique utility toolkit: Pick locks, Sense/Disarm Traps, Pickpocket
Cons
- Maximum damage output is dependent on correct positioning
- Low defensive capability
Grouping
Finding an effective duo partner for a rogue can be challenging due to the positioning requirements of backstab. Depending on the combo, it may be most effective to have their duo partner tank to maximize the rogue's damage. In a larger group, rogues will more easily find success and be able to contribute to their full potential.
Raiding
Rogues can output some of the highest melee damage of any class, which is their primary focus. Their sneak skills may also sometimes be called on for scouting.
