Rogue – From The Shadows
Rogues can be chosen by players as their character in the World of Warcraft. While wielding melee weapons a Rogue can deal massive amounts of damage with special attacks and other moves. A Rogue has to spend Energy in order to make these attacks. The Rogue has an Energy bar under his hit points bar which keeps track of the amount of Energy the Rogue has at the moment. A Rogue can have a maximum of 100 Energy even though there is a talent which increases this.
A Rogue can be chosen by Dwarf, Gnome, Night Elf and Human players from the Alliance side and by Troll, Orc, Undead and Blood Elf players of the Horde side. A Rogue is commonly known for his skills to ‘gank’ other players, which basically means killing players of the other factions on either the battlegrounds or in the arena’s or in PvP areas. Because they can stealth they have an advantage over their enemies. When a Rogue is stealthed he has several abilities at his disposal which can only be used when stealthed and once he makes his move he will unstealth and get several new moves he can make.

The majority of the attacks the Rogues can make award them with combo points. A total of 5 combo points can be applied on a target. Next to a series of attacks that award combo points a Rogue will also have several finishing moves available that will have an effect on their target depending on the amount of combo points that the target has. The more combo points you have, the stronger the finishing moves.
Let it be clear that Rogues can’t heal and can’t tank. They are designed to do loads of damage though. If you want to be on top of the damage list you should know the class well. You will need to know the ins and outs of the class though, including the talent builds. You should know which talent tree is made with what purpose and which talent points you can avoid and which should definitely be taken. The three talent trees are called combat, assassination, and subtlety. For more information on WoW class guides, read our review: Warcraft Pros Guide Review
The talent tree that is best for leveling is definitely the Combat talent tree. You will become harder to kill and will also be able to do more damage through attacks like Ghost Strike. With a decent amount of Dodge and Parry rating, an increased amount of damage from the offhand which normally does 50% of the normal weapon damage, a higher hit percentage and a lot of other useful talents you will find leveling an easy journey.
As you gain levels, and especially when you reach the level cap, the Assassination tree becomes a more viable option. The Assassination tree specializes in Backstab and other powerful attacks. For those of you who like to play PvE it is a great build that especially focuses on the Backstab attack. Because you need to be behind the target for this attack it is usually not good for single players.
If you have a tank that turns the mob away from you however, you can dish out crazy amounts of damage. If you like to play PvP you should try out the Subtlety talent tree. Because you will become quite tough, harder to detect while stealthed and be able to do nice amounts of damage in a short period of time, this build is nice against enemy players. If you play PvE you want to do more damage over time so Subtlety is less useful there.
