Recommended Builds

Assassin

Strike from the shadows, kill in one blow. The Assassin maxes Strength to amplify backstab multipliers -- the Rogue's single most devastating ability. Brawn pushes Strength even higher, while Cutthroat piercing training ensures dagger skills scale quickly. Poison Making coats every blade with extra damage. Position behind the target, and delete it.

Brigand

The Brigand accepts that not every backstab lands cleanly. Heavy Stamina and Fortitude keep this Rogue alive when positioning fails, while Defense training mitigates incoming damage during prolonged fights. Poison Making adds sustained damage to compensate for lower burst. A survivor first, a killer second.

Shadow

The Shadow is a ghost. Agility-powered avoidance and throwing knife harassment let this Rogue control engagements from a distance before committing to melee. High Dexterity supports stealth and lockpicking, while Poison Making ensures thrown weapons carry a lethal sting. The ultimate scout who decides when and where the fight happens.
