Moving on, let’s look at some of the pros and cons of playing as a rogue, as nothing comes without strings.
Advantages
Disadvantages
Rogues can dish out high damage.
While they have high damage, rogues are easily damaged, making them easy to kill, and players need to dodge a lot to avoid taking spike damage.
Rogues are probably one of the fastest classes, allowing them to cover more ground on the battlefield.
Positioning and planning are required for rogues.
They have access to effects like Slow, Stun, and Freeze.
Players need to dodge quite a bit in order to stay safe from enemies. Therefore, impeccable dodging skills are required.
