Rogue

Rogue's Symbol

“Sneaky and deadly, rogues deal a lot of damage, and have a varied set of skills.”

― In-game text

If the world isn't fair... why should you be? Rogues take every possible advantage, and avoid all the risks if possible. Better to strike an enemy from behind, and when he least expects it. Even with ranged weapons, which they are skilled at. Yeah, that's how rogues like to do their job. Rogues really know how to hurt others. They can dish out more melee damage than any other class, and their skills allow them to move unseen, or to do extra damage, making them good at killing boss enemies or spellcasters. They don't have a large health pool, and for them, it's harder to get good armor.

Comparing to Warriors, melee-based Rogues cannot wear powerful 2-Handed weapons and/or hit multiple enemies at once (Rogues cannot learn Cleave skill). On the other hand, Rogues are experts in dealing extreme damage which makes them lethal against bosses. If you wish to play melee, you should learn Assassinate, Evasion and Flurry - these 3 skills are crucial for your build.
