Rogue: Difference between revisions

These female warriors are competent with a sword and can hold their own using magic, but their true mastery comes with a bow in their hands. Rogues have the fastest firing rate, best arrow accuracy, and enjoy a hidden to/hit bonus with arrows that makes their archery unmatchable by other classes. Their main statistic is dexterity, of which they an amass a tremendous amount, giving them very high inherent damage and to/hit.

====Bow Damage Limitation====

To limit the rogue's lethal speed with the bow, Blizzard made it so bows only add their damage to the base total derived from strength, dexterity, and character level. As a result, rather than the bow damage being modified by the rogue's attributes, the bow damage simply adds on.

For this reason, many high level rogues prefer to find a bow that adds resistance with the prefix (Obsidian or Emerald, ideally), since there isn't that much difference in damage, and a substantial resistance bonus from the bow frees up other equipment slots to pursue other bonuses. (This generally results in more mana, since the only useful high level jewelry prefixes grant resistance or +mana, and if an obsidian or other resistance ring/amulet is taken off, the best alternative is usually drakes or dragons of _______.)
