They're the shadows in the night that remain unseen until the correct moment comes to strike—then they dispatch an opponent with quick blade work or a mortiferous toxin snuck acutely into the bloodstream. Rogues are opportunistic thieves, bandits, and assassins, merely there's an unparalleled art to what they do. ^[six]

Rogues can dip their weapons in paralyzing toxins that return foes unable to defend themselves.

Background

This department contains information that needs to exist cleaned upwards. Reason: Source needed, possible RPG info

For as long as in that location were dark alleys and needs for dark services, there accept been rogues, and thus they are one of the oldest professions in Azeroth. Rogues are a various grade, and they are typically made upwards from the dregs of guild — cutthroats, pirates, robbers, and low-lifes. The only code rogues live past is the contract, and their word is just as good as the money their services are bought for. The diverse aspects of their trade requires rogues to exist well versed in lockpicking, toxicology, rudimentary alchemy and brawling. In gainsay, rogues rely on the element of surprise, and tactics which are regarded by most every bit vile and cowardly. They are rarely seen entering a fight without weapons laced in poisons and ample supplies of everything from bombs to elixirs in their backpacks. Their attacks concentrate on weak points in the torso in an endeavour to end fights brutally and quickly. Rogues play prominent roles in every aspect of social club — admitting, they volition rarely be written in history books because their involvements will be largely unknown to the common person, simply they are always there, greatly affecting the flow of events from the shadows.

From the loftier-contract assassin hired in cloak-and-dagger past respected noblemen to the lowly street mugger, rogues are the ones chosen upon when maintaining the status quo requires a questionable solution — and by fulfilling it, are branded equally outcasts by the very lodge that calls upon their service.

In Azeroth several rogues are free agents, though most adopt to join a club for rubber and ease of employment. Ravenholdt and the Syndicate are examples of said guilds. Other recognized rogue organizations include the Shattered Mitt, the Deathstalkers and SI:7.

The mythical tauren rogue is a persistent joke.

A gnome rogue with Nightslayer Armor.

Meet besides: Rogue sets

Rogues can use five types of melee weapons: daggers, fist weapons, one-handed maces, one-handed swords, and 1-handed axes. They dual wield, which means they can equip a weapon in each hand when nearly classes can equip only one; the merchandise-off, nonetheless, is an increased take chances to miss with each weapon and reduced damage from the off-mitt. Rogues cannot equip two-handed weapons or shields. A rogue'south choice of weapon typically reflects their talent specialization: the Assassination and Subtlety copse favor the use of daggers, while the Outlaw tree favors the utilize of swords, axes, maces, and fist weapons. In order to optimize damage, rogues must pay attention to the weapon speed and damage per second of the weapon in each hand.

Rogues habiliment leather armor. Leather is weaker than the post and plate worn by other melee classes, making rogues more "squishy." To recoup for this, rogues have an array of defensive abilities to improve their survivability, including [Evasion] , [Feint] , [Sprint] , [Vanish] , and [Cloak of Shadows] . Rogues can also wear cloth, but this is not recommended, every bit virtually all fabric items are intended for casters.

Free energy is represented every bit a yellow bar under the rogue'due south health. Combo points are represented as red dots beneath the energy bar.

Prior to patch 7.0.3, combo points were shown on the enemy's portrait.

Rogues specialize in melee combat. A large portion of a rogue's damage comes from auto-attacks and poisons, simply they can increase their impairment using a multifariousness of offensive abilities. Many abilities crave free energy, a resource with a stock-still chapters that is spent quickly and regenerates quickly. Certain abilities are instant attacks that add upward to five combo points to the target ("builders"); these combo points can then be used to execute finishing moves that concluding longer or are more than powerful per combo point ("finishers"). Rogues also have powerful opening moves that can merely be used from [Stealth] ("openers"), equally well as cooldown-restricted abilities that greatly increase impairment for a short menses of fourth dimension ("cooldowns"). The post-obit are examples of offensive rogue abilities categorized according to this terminology:

• Cooldowns: [Vendetta] , [Killing Spree] , [Adrenaline Rush] , [Shadow Blades] , [Exsanguinate]

Stealth

Nathressa Darkstrider , a night elf rogue.

Main article: Stealth

Rogues have the ability to enter [Stealth] , which makes them essentially invisible to enemies their level and lower. Stealthed rogues are detectable at close range, though will remain stealthed and appear translucent. Many rogue abilities require stealth, and others require being backside the target, which is often achievable only in stealth. Some abilities, notably [Sprint] and [Distract] , interact well with stealth, but normally using any ability or performing any activeness will intermission stealth.

Stealth opens up a range of tactics and roles for rogues. Groups may rely on a rogue's stealth ability to spotter dungeons, and to use [Sap] for added crowd control. In PvP, stealth combined with disables and burst damage gives an element of surprise that tin be specially effective against cloth-wearers. Stealth too enables rogues to bypass mobs that other classes would be forced to appoint, which is useful for solo play.

In addition to stealth, rogues accept a number of other "sneaky" abilities, such as the ability to pickpocket mobs, and pick locks (breaks stealth).

Major glyphs have been removed, only the cooldown for [Stealth] has been reduced for the entire class, mimicking the event that was provided past Glyph of Stealth. Similarly, [Pick Lock] is at present faster and mimics the effect from [Glyph of Pick Lock] .

Rogues no longer have access to [Disarm Trap] and [Discover Traps] . [Glyph of Detection] still exists but does non work on traps.

Poisons

A gnome rogue using [Animalize] .

Main article: Poisons

Rogues are the just form that can coat their weapons with poisons. Poisons generally either cause damage to the target (either instantly or as impairment over time) or other hindering effects (slowing the target, reducing the effectiveness of healing on the target). They are applied as a buff to the player, lasting for one hour before they demand to be reapplied; 1 Lethal and one Non-Lethal poison can exist applied at the same fourth dimension, and faster attacks (through faster weapon speed and attack speed, higher haste, and greater energy regeneration) will cause the poison to proc more than oft. Poisons are a core component of the Assassination spec and should always be used. Poisons are no longer available to all 3 specs and tin now simply be used by Assassination rogues.

Poisons are at present no longer items, simply individual buffs that can be practical to the weapons by the rogue. Also toxicant vendors no longer sell poisons.

Disabling effects

Rogues have a number of ways to harm their enemies bated from raw harm. Note that diminishing returns apply to all effects that cause players to lose control of their character (stun, incapacitate, fear, etc.), likewise as to status effects applied to NPCs.

[Dismantle] and other [Disarm] abilities have been completely removed.

Mobility, elusiveness and survivability

Vanish

Rogues are characterized past their high mobility also as their adeptness at speedily engaging, disengaging or outright escaping from a skirmish. These two elements form a significant office of the rogue's core playstyle across all three specs, enabling them to utilise the battleground to their advantage, strike at an opportune moment and utilise their speed and abilities not only to attack from an advantageous position and stick to their targets, but also to evade pursuers, dodge targeted attacks, and mitigate ground effects and surface area of effect impairment.

The rogue'due south use of stealth and their ability to vanish in the center of combat assistance in their power to stay alive and often escape from a dire state of affairs, but they besides open upwardly a number of offensive tools; for example, attacks that are only usable from [Stealth] such as [Ambush] or [Shadowstrike] deal high damage, which tin be increased farther past adding the talent [Nightstalker] . [Vanish] is likewise utilized equally a means of increasing damage output in the middle of a fight, most notably for Bump-off and Subtlety rogues, as this enables them to use their stealth-just abilities and proc the damage increase from [Nightstalker] .

Mobility and elusiveness are among the rogue'south about of import tools, as vital as their power to deal heavy damage in a minor window of fourth dimension and quickly dispatch their targets. Numerous talents and abilities fall under ane or the other of these traits; they are listed equally follows:

• [Sprint] increases running speed past 70% for 8 seconds (60-second cooldown). It is usable both in and out of [Stealth] .
• [Vanish] allows a rogue to disappear from gainsay and enter stealth instantly (2-infinitesimal cooldown). Stealth cannot exist broken by enemy attacks or other harmful effects for 3 seconds after triggering [Vanish] , and motion-impairing furnishings that were applied to your character will exist removed. In a dungeon or raid setting, casting [Vanish] tin can exist utilized every bit part of an offensive rotation, too as to driblet aggro if you come under attack.
• [Tricks of the Trade] is meant for employ in dungeons, raids or other PvE groups, and volition redirect any threat that you generate, applying it to a selected friendly player; when cast, the player volition be marked for 30 seconds, and the spell will trigger after your first attack, with the effects lasting for 6 seconds. This ability is best-utilized proactively instead of reactively, as yous may not immediately lose aggro from enemy NPCs if you employ it when you are already under assail.
• [Fleet Footed] is a class-wide passive trait that increases movement speed by 15%.
• [Hit and Run] is a level xxx passive talent for Outlaw rogues that increases motion speed past an additional xv%.
• [Nightstalker] is a level 30 passive talent for Bump-off and Subtlety rogues, with unlike effects for each:
• [Grappling Claw] is a level 30 talent for Outlaw rogues that allows you to quickly grapple to a targeted location within 40 yards of your character (30-second cooldown). Information technology tin can be used in mid-air to limit or avoid fall damage, and tin can also be used to pull your character to areas that are higher or lower in elevation, simply can sometimes not be used on sloped or bumpy terrain and as such, is virtually reliable on flat ground.
• [Shadowstep] tin can be used by Subtlety and Assassination rogues to quickly teleport backside a selected target within 20 yards and can be utilized while in or out of stealth (thirty-second cooldown). Motility speed is also increased by 20% for 2 seconds after the teleport.
• [Shadowstrike] allows Subtlety rogues to attack from [Stealth] and teleport behind their target; it has a range of 15 yards and consumes forty energy, generating one combo bespeak (2 with [Premeditation] ).
• [Cloak of Shadows] removes all harmful spell effects, besides as granting immunity from these furnishings for five seconds (xc-second cooldown).
• [Feint] is a powerful harm mitigation tool that reduces area-of-outcome damage by 50% for v seconds; consumes 20 energy.
• [Crimson Vial] restores thirty% of your maximum wellness over six seconds, costing xxx energy (xxx-second cooldown).
• [Cheat Expiry] is a level 60 passive talent for all specs that causes fatal attacks to instead lower you to 7% of your maximum health; once triggered, you will take 85% reduced damage for 3 seconds and cannot trigger it again for ii minutes. [Cheat Expiry] will not activate if you lot are hit by an attack that deals damage greater than 200% of your maximum health; as an instance, if your maximum health is 200,000, then the spell will non trigger if you are hit by an assail that deals more than 400,000 damage.
• A pair of cooldowns can assist rogues to temporarily tank NPCs in an emergency situation or to weather an attack from multiple targets or unmarried, dangerous targets:

Specializations

For a full listing of specialization abilities, see Rogue abilities

At level x rogues may cull a specialization. All rogue specializations are themed effectually a sure type of historical scoundrel and primarily fulfill a melee impairment role:

Assassination

A mortiferous master of poisons who dispatches victims with vicious dagger strikes.

Much of an Bump-off rogue's toolkit is based on heavy damage over fourth dimension through poison furnishings, rapid auto-attacks (assassination rogues require daggers in both hands to utilize many of their abilities), and abilities that cause bleed damage. Combat centers upon maintaining and managing bleed effects on your targets, focusing on the amount of time left on each bleed and maximizing your damage output past ensuring that they are constantly in effect. The apply of poisons is sectional and central to the bump-off spec, forming a significant part of its impairment output in unison with [Animalize] , [Venomous Wounds] and Mastery: Potent Poisons.^[10]

Every bit their name suggests, Assassination rogues are themed around assassins: One of the favorite tools of the assassinator is a pair of daggers coated with vicious poisons. The damage they inflict is deceiving at first—the initial wounds frequently seem survivable, fifty-fifty superficial. Then the toxins set about their business. Wounds don't close, and blood loss continues unabated. Assassins begin their work stealthily, choosing their targets and methods of engagement carefully—merely once committed to a course of action, they stick to their target until the job is done rather than disappearing into the shadows to avert their quarry's blows. ^{[half dozen]}

Signature Abilities & Talents

Outlaw

A swashbuckler who uses agility and guile to stand toe-to-toe with enemies.

Outlaw rogues focus on consequent weapon (car-assault) damage and cleave damage in multi-target situations via [Blade Flurry] to provide sustained DPS. Rather than requiring stealth and relying on powerful openers, you tin merely sew to well-nigh targets and speedily hack abroad at them, building combo points with [Saber Slash] and [Pistol Shot] while maintaining personal buffs through the use of [Roll the Bones] ; these enhancements are random and volition either broaden the characteristics of some of your abilities, reduce your cooldown times, or boost your secondary stats. As such, Outlaw tends to be the best spec for fast leveling, since you tin motility quickly from one enemy to the adjacent with very trivial downtime instead of trying to sneak up on enemies.

Outlaw rogues are mainly themed around pirates: Outlaw rogues are the unscrupulous scoundrels of Azeroth. Operating outside the police, they curve the rules and distort the truth to get what they need. While they share plenty in common with other rogues, these outlaws have little apply for tact or discretion, happy to engage in a tavern brawl or spontaneous duel, rarely patient plenty to wait in stealth for the opportune fourth dimension to engage. To survive in such a globe, outlaws must become master swordsmen in toe-to-toe gainsay—and they can't shy abroad from fighting dirty. If blade fails to cutting besides securely, the outlaw takes advantage of a concealed pistol, catching the enemy by surprise with a quick blast. ^[6]

Signature Abilities & Talents

Subtlety

A dark stalker who leaps from the shadows to ambush his or her unsuspecting casualty.

Subtlety rogues like to stay in the shadows. This spec is based on moving quickly and staying hidden, choosing to strike at the most advantageous moment. Once they have initiated their assault, a subtlety rogue focuses on accumulating as many combo points as possible in a short corporeality of time, relying on high outburst damage at the first of gainsay and pooling energy to maximize harm during phases of [Shadow Dance] as a fight progresses.^[11]

Subtlety is the archetypal (and infamous) PvP rogue spec, appearing from nowhere to overwhelm and defeat a player in a thing of seconds using a combination of incapacitating abilities and deadly harm. Subtlety rogues try to avoid a directly fight; their greatest forcefulness is centered on their ability to take hold of their prey by surprise, and if they are unable to defeat the opponent in their initial burst, so they will often sideslip back into the shadows before their opponent is able to rally.

Subtlety rogues are mainly themed around ninjas: Subtlety rogues are the masters of the shadows, and they strike unseen. They don't have the lethal poison-tipped daggers of the assassin or the brawling prowess of the outlaw, merely their acumen on the battleground and power to hibernate in plain sight are unrivaled. Some merits the art of subtlety looks like malevolent shadow magic—merely no matter from where their power is derived, these rogues are capable of performing devastating assaults on their enemies, slipping away unharmed to strike again without detection. Most rogues train their entire lives to larn how to walk in the shadows—subtlety rogues were born there. ^{[half dozen]}

Signature Abilities & Talents

General role in raids and dungeons

As with all damage-dealers, the rogue's main priority in raiding and PvE group settings is to maximize DPS while staying alive. In dungeons, rogues may be asked to preemptively disable certain enemies with [Sap] , [Blind] or [Parley] before the party enters combat. More frequently, rogues may likewise exist tasked with interrupting important spells during some encounters, notably confronting bosses such as Xhul'horac, Kel'Thuzad and Full general Vezax. General raid etiquette will besides crave you to handle any other responsibilities that your raid leader may ask of y'all, too every bit to provide your ain flasks, nutrient, potions and other supplies to maximize your buffs.

In general, rogues should non expect to exist healed on a regular basis, meaning that you must oftentimes fend for yourself and rely on your mobility, positioning, and prudent employ of abilities such as [Sprint] , [Shadowstep] , [Grappling Hook] , [Cloak of Shadows] and [Feint] to quickly move abroad from targeted attacks and ground effects and to minimize incoming damage. Utilize [Crimson Vial] , potions and healthstones as needed, and especially in encounters with a large number of enemies, be sure to use [Tricks of the Trade] to transfer threat to one of your tanks and reduce the chances of taking aggro. If you come nether attack, drop aggro with [Vanish] , or mitigate impairment past using [Riposte] or [Evasion] . Equally a melee form, rogues will almost always find themselves in the center of the action, commonly alongside tanks, and will need to be wary of area of result attacks and dissentious auras; you lot can expect to come under fire from multiple directions, and must strike a residue between fugitive attacks while maintaining your ain attacks and remaining close enough to your targets to deal every bit much harm as possible.

In the RPG

This department contains information from the Warcraft RPG which is considered non-catechism.

Rogues are Azeroth's legerdemains. They possess a broad range of skills that permit them to accomplish feats from disarming traps to finding secret doors to smacking a magic item until it works. They are decent in a fight, and if they tin strike chop-chop or unseen — or are flanking an enemy with the help of a thoughtful ally — they can be truly deadly. Of course, they also excel at stealth.^[12]

The rogues of Azeroth are the masters of subterfuge, skilled and cunning adversaries of those who dare not look into the shadows to run into what lurks there. Roguery is a profession for those who seek the adventures of stalking and silent forests, dimly lit halls and heavily guarded strongholds. Using trickery in gainsay and able to vanish at the slightest distraction, the rogue is a welcome addition to any group of adventurers. Ideal spies, deadly to those they can take hold of unaware, rogues have no problem finding a place in the world. Mortiferous masters of stealth, rogues are the whispers in shadowy corners and the hooded figures crossing dark fields. Skilled with daggers and the art of silent decease, these vagabonds and bandits skulk about Azeroth seeking targets and turn a profit. A member of almost any race can learn the tricks necessary to go a skilled rogue. Still, for the Tauren and Draenei, such a profession is an alien concept and therefore rare (if not non-existent) among those peoples.^[thirteen] Rogues tin exist institute amongst all races on Azeroth. Whether they are diplomats, spies, thieves, scoundrels, entertainers, or simply adventurers, you can find them plying just well-nigh any trade from Mount Hyjal to Ratchet.^[14]
