Rogue Class Overview

Find our new guides for Rogue in WoW Classic Season of Discovery below! The new game mode will have players find and utilize Runes that can then be engraved onto their gear to provide them special bonuses that augment already existing abilities or allow the class to use entirely new spells.

With the introduction of new Runes in Season of Discovery, not only will old builds be increased in power, but Rogue now has the option of being played as a Tank.

Rogues have three talent specializations: Assassination, Combat, and Subtlety.

• Assassination — This specialization focuses on increasing the burst damage of the Rogue, ensuring that defeating their foes requires as little time as possible.
• Combat — This specialization focuses on enhancing a Rogue's capabilities in extended fights. While they normally fight from the shadows, Combat Rogues are equipped to fight just as proficiently outside of stealth.
• Subtlety — This specialization enhances a Rogue's abilities within stealth, avoiding direct combat when possible.

The primary resource used by Rogues is Energy in all specializations.

Rogues can be played as Humans, Dwarves, Night Elves, and Gnomes for the Alliance and Undead, Orcs, and Trolls for the Horde in Classic.

Rogues can wear Cloth and Leather armour in Classic.

Rogues are able to use Bows, Crossbows, Daggers, Fist Weapons, Guns Maces, Swords, and Thrown.
