Rogues thrive on surprising the enemy and catching them unprepared. They have extremely high damage output over a short amount of time. However with their weak damage taking abilities and their reliance on their energy meter they cannot last very long in sustained battles. They also have a wide array of crafty poisons and tricks they can used to aid them in battle.

Class Role
The stealthy Rogue is an up-close damage dealer. Like the Mage, they can rip through mobs quickly and brutally using their wide range of combination moves. They are also worthy scouts, being able to sneak past monsters if they are skilled enough to see what lies beyond. And there's no one better than a Rogue at the end of a dungeon when a locked chest or door stands between you and hard-earned riches.

Strengths

• Stealth abilities allow the Rogue to reach places more easily than most other classes
  
• Can create and use poisons to damage or slow enemies
  
• Very high melee damage potential
  
• Can pick locks
  
• Effective in escaping battle with sprint, vanish, and blind
  

Weaknesses

• No party buffs available
  
• Restricted to wearing cloth and leather armor
  
• No healing ability

Standard Bars: Health/Energy
Armor: Cloth, Leather
Weapons: Daggers, Thrown, Swords (with training), Bows (with training), Crossbows (with training), Maces (with training), Fist Weapons (with training), Guns (with training)

Suitable Professions
Skinning and Leatherworking is good but for a rogue perhaps a combination of Herbalism and Alchemy would work better. Since you won't have any healing spells and buffs you might use Alchemy to produce similar effects.
