Assassination Rogue is a melee fighter who wields a pair of daggers as weapons. The class has excellent mobility, solid damage, as well as stealth and the ability to conceal all party/raid members from enemies. The class's unique feature is enhancing abilities with combo points. By dealing damage with certain abilities you accumulate combo points, while other abilities spend these points, gaining additional bonuses based on the number of accumulated points.
