Rogue

The Rogue is the assassin of the realm — a shadow given purpose, a blade that appears only when the fight is already won. Mastery of the Rogue demands patience and precise timing; reward the discipline with bursts of damage no other class can match. This is not a class for the faint of heart.

Abilities

Vanish — Fade into stealth instantly, even in combat. All enemies lose your location. (Cooldown: 30s)

Backstab — Strike from stealth for 300% weapon damage. Guarantees a critical hit. Requires stealth. (Cooldown: 0s — resets on new stealth)

Smoke Bomb — Throw a smoke grenade that blinds all enemies in a 4-block radius for 5 seconds. (Cooldown: 18s)

Shadow Step — Teleport instantly behind a targeted enemy. (Cooldown: 12s)

Hemorrhage — Apply a bleed effect that deals damage over 8 seconds and reduces the target's armor. (Cooldown: 15s)

Tips

• Vanish → Shadow Step → Backstab is your primary opener. Practice the timing until it is muscle memory.
• Smoke Bomb saves lives in dungeon ambushes where you are outnumbered.
• Hemorrhage first, then Vanish + Backstab — the bleed continues ticking in stealth.
• You are extremely fragile. Never stand and trade hits; always disengage and reset.
• The LNE Rogue addon adds a "Warrior" spec with completely different melee abilities for players who prefer direct combat.
