Stances (2)

Forms this class can adopt, each changing how its abilities behave.

Stalking · from level 1 You hide yourself from view and begin to stalk. Works most effectively when behind your opponent.
Devious Foe · from level 1 You evade attacks with uncanny dexterity and strike with speed and power. Damage is increased by 8%, dodge chance is increased by 5%, and attacks refresh 10% faster. While in this form your Deadly Strike and Vicious Strike attacks deal additional damage and the hatred generated by your attacks is increased by 5%.

Not yet checked against the client (13)

These are recorded here from the fan wikis, and nothing has confirmed them: no photograph, and no character whose spellbook the client could be read for. They may be exactly right, they may carry figures the game never used, or they may not be in the emulator at all — there is no way to tell from the sources alone. Of this class's 135 abilities, 113 have had their tooltip read in game, 118 were found in the client's own memory carrying the game's id for them. Where a tooltip has been read it overrides the wikis, and around four in five disagreed with them — so treat the figures below with care.

The client was read in October 2026 and answered for 118 of them. The rest were not in any character's book: an ability a logged-in character has not learned is absent from the client's memory whether or not the build has it, so these need somebody to grow a Rogue into them.
