Rogue in WoW TBC
The most feared PvP class in the game, and a steady, satisfying damage-dealer everywhere else.
The Rogue is a leather-wearing melee damage dealer and the most feared PvP class in the game — stealth, stuns and burst let it open a fight on its own terms and end it before the enemy reacts. In PvE it delivers steady, reliable single-target damage with useful utility like Sap, Kick interrupts and Blind.
All three specs are melee DPS. Combat is the reliable raiding workhorse with the smoothest rotation; Assassination is a poison-and-precision spec with the best burst opener; Subtlety leans fully into stealth and control for dominant PvP. Combat and Assassination level well, while Subtlety is more of a PvP specialist. If you love stealth openers and stunlocks, the Rogue is your class.
