World of Roguecraft

At home in the shadows and skilled at disappearing from sight, the Rogues of Azeroth are most comfortable when acting in the background. Twisting events to their favor, striking only when advantage is greatest: this is where a Rogue excels. With their cunning tricks, physical abilities, and mastery of concealment and disguise, Rogues have no trouble finding employment as thieves, cutthroats, spies, and assassins.

The Rogue is a very involved and fun class to play. Your effectiveness depends on how well you learn to use your Rogue abilities. There is a lot to take in, but players can master the Rogue over time with knowledge and experience.

The stealthy Rogue is an up-close damage dealer. Like the Mage, they can rip through mobs quickly and brutally using their wide range of combination moves. They are also worthy scouts, being able to sneak past monsters if they are skilled enough to see what lies beyond. And there's no one better than a Rogue at the end of a dungeon when a locked chest or door stands between you and hard-earned riches. We're not telling you how to play the game - one of the fascinating practices of this genre is the ingenuity exercised by the players every day!

Strengths
Stealth abilities allow the Rogue to reach places more easily than most classes and to choose wether they want to stay and do battle or to escape into the shadows with no knowledge that they where ever there.

Strong lock picking abilities/access compared to other classes. No need to carry around all those annoying keys or wait for some one who has the key for a door/gate you need to get passed when you can just pick the lock and let yourself in!

High sustained single target damage that can last forever due to no mana usage

Weakness
Low armor if you don't pay attention to how much damage your dishing out with out using your feint ability to lower aggro you'll die fast and be of no use to any one.
(Being killed in one hit because the monster can Mortalstrike you for over 4k damage and you weren't paying attention to your aggro isnt fun for you or your party/raid.)
You can only focus your high damage on one monster at a time and with out a good tank class facing multiple attackers you'll often times die very quickly.

Challenges
Mastering Stealth Usage
Managing monster hate/aggro so that tanks can take the majority of damage when possible.
Learning and using effective combos and strategies.
