subject: The Wow Rogue - What You Need To Know [print this page] Would you like to learn more about the WoW rogue class and see if it's a class worth playing? Well, the rogue is certainly a lot of fun to play with if you do select it, it's also an option you don't find in any other game. I mean, you may find thieves, but the rogue is much more sophisticated than a common thief.
Your average rogue will often be dual wielding swords or daggers. They are also extremely stealthy characters that have the ability to sneak up and take out enemies without them knowing what hit them. They are a powerful melee class and if you've ever faced one, you know how annoying they can be.
Now one of the most potent abilities the WoW rogue has up their sleeves is the ability to cast Sap. What this does is it stuns an enemy so that the rogue can gain the strategic advantage in combat.
Following your Sap, the rogue often times begins a sequence of attacks, one of the abilities often used though is the Sinister Strike. This can be chained up to collect points which can then be released in a finishing move.
When your rogue has gathered up enough points, you can then use a finishing move such as Eviscerate which will inflict a great deal more damage and potentially kill your enemy off.
Another great option though if the enemy has more health is to go with Slice and Dice, this will speed up your rouges following attacks so you can dispatch of your enemy even quicker.
One final ability which you should know about is the Stealth ability. This allows your rogue to be hidden from an enemy's sight and ensure you get the first shot in. Usually your first shot will wind up being a Backstab or Garrote.
Now This should give you a little intro into the WoW rogue class and what to expect, however if you're serious about leveling quickly and mastering the class, you should look into a WoW rogue guide.
