Rogue Assassination
The Assassination Rogue specialization in World of Warcraft: Forever relies on daggers, poisons and finishing moves. It aims to take down a target quickly with precise attacks and powerful critical strikes.
The Rogue is a melee damage class, a master of stealth and control. Assassination suits players who like to prepare their attacks and strike at the right moment.
