World of warcraft rogue guide: the stealthy assassin of wow
Here is something that we are all pretty much agreed on. Rogues are not liked in world of warcraft. Only those that play them seem to enjoy their existence, while all other wow players really think that this is class that is just a nuisance and a cheat and not very pleasing on the eye. Nobody likes a rogues and that is why they have a cult of wow players who like to play them. They don’t like being liked and it suits them just fine.
They are a class that excels at stealth tactics and are agile and good at mele close combat damage dealing. In this role they can more than match both fury specced warriors and feral druids. At their disposal they can also call upon a wide range of weapons that includes daggers, fist weapons, maces and at later levels they can also specialize in swords and two handed weapons.
They do not possess good armor in that they can only wear leather and cloth. Since they are regarded as a melee class you would think that this would be of great disadvantage to them. However this is not the case because they can tap into a large arsenal of other abilities that overcomes this hiccup.
Other than the fact that rogues are able to make themselves invisible so that they can sneak up unnoticed on their victims and enemies, they can stun, disorient and incapacitate opponent during combat. And as soon as they reach level 20 they are boosted in their crippling and maiming abilities by having access to being able to administer no less than five different kind of poisons which when applied to their blades can can instant, to medium and long lasting damage to opponents almost always resulting in the rogue winning a fight or killing their adversary.
Their real core strength and what gives them the utmost power in defeating opponents is their agility and their speed. This and their access to various kinds of weapons and the range of poisons they have, together with their agility, stealth and speed enables rogues to literally rip to shred any opponent before they realise they have even started a fight or duel. If you kit up your rogue correctly and make use of poisons in the right way, and time your stuns well it will make you and your rogue a “cert” to be hated forever more.
