Combat Rogue
The Rogue's Combat specialization in Wrath of the Lich King strengthens weapons, energy regeneration and damage against multiple targets.
The Rogue fights in melee: they build combo points on the target, then spend them with finishing moves. They can also use stealth to surprise their enemies. Combat suits players who enjoy relentless attacks, with a slow weapon in the main hand and a fast weapon in the off hand.
