Rogue Overview for Last Epoch (Patch 1.0)
Unrivaled in bow and blade, the Rogue strikes out from the shadows to find a higher purpose for her deadly talents.
Introduction to Rogue
"Unrivaled in bow and blade, the Rogue strikes out from the shadows to find a higher purpose for her deadly talents."
Rogue takes the role of stealthy melee or bow-user in Last Epoch. Currently with only two Masteries (Falconer is on the way!), players can opt between taking on the roll of either a deadly assassin, dual weilding melee weapons similar to a stealthy ninja, or a bow-user with deadly aim, picking foes off from afar with precision. Regardless of which sub-class you decide to play, both offer unique gameplay while still keeping within the archetype you think of when you hear the word Rogue.
Sentinel Skills
Regardless of the Mastery you choose to spec into, Rogue comes with a handful of skills that can be used by both. These skills are either unlocked by player level, or by placing Passive Points into the Sentinel Skill Tree.
