Outlaw Rogue PvE Guide — Midnight
1 020 viewsAbout the Class
This is a melee fighter whose primary stat is Agility. Outlaw Rogue is a master of swordplay and luck, relying on physical prowess, mastery of swords (or other one-handed weapons) and the support of piratical tricks.
The defining feature of the spec is managing two resources — Energy and Combo Points — along with the unique 
Roll the Bones mechanic that grants random buffs. The gameplay revolves around a high attack speed and cooldown reduction from the passive 
Restless Blades.
Strengths
- High and consistent AoE damage thanks to Blade Flurry.
- Excellent survivability (Evasion, Cloak of Shadows, Feint).
- Strong target control (Blind, Kidney Shot, Cheap Shot).
- Cooldown reduction lets you use powerful abilities often.
Weaknesses
- Dependence on luck when rolling Roll the Bones.
- Very high gameplay tempo that demands quick reactions.
- Limited AoE radius.
