- Assassination
- Combat
- Subtlety
A rogue's main purpose, either solo, in small groups, or in a raid, is maximum DPS, with crowd control as a secondary role. Assassination Rogues are skilled at dealing massive burst damage from the back of the enemies using daggers. On the other hand, Combat Rogues are balanced with both offensive as well as defensive talents, and produce sustained damage using sword, mace or fist weapons. While the damage improvement provided by the Subtlety tree may not be as impressive as the other two, Subtlety Rogues can perform many subtle moves in PvP and easily catch the unwary enemies in surprise!
