Rogue: complete guide - stealth, control and burst

Rogue is about initiative: opening the battle from stealth, “turning on” control and killing the target before he understands what happened.

Specializations

  • Combat - best damage in PvE, simple rotation, Adrenaline Rush.
  • Assassination - poisons and bleeding, an excellent option for PvP and long battles.
  • Subtlety — maximum damage from stealth, “Shadow Dance”. Classic world PvP.

Tools

  • “Jagged Boots”, “Cloak of Shadows” - removes effects.
  • “Blindness”, “Daze”, “Abduction” - control.
  • “Disappearance” is a reset of the battle, your main trump card.

PvP

The rogue in 2v2 is part of the RMP (horns/mage/priest) and “dancing with the stars” combos. The main thing is to use “Blindness” and “Smoke Screen” correctly on the healer, and not waste “Disappearance”.

Cons

Low survivability in open combat: if you are caught without cooldowns, you are very fragile. Requires practice and understanding of other people's cooldowns (install OmniBar).
