Warrior / Rogue

(Mad Frenzy)

Warrior / Rogue is a special class in Runes of Magic for two reasons. First, it is the fastest class in the game. Unlike every other class that looks for special means of extra speed, this combination can move up to 118% speed without any other buffs on it. Add on an elite skill that removes roots and slows, and it becomes dangerous at chasing down enemies. Furthermore, it can come right back to life with Desperate Measures, giving them the chance to kill an enemy target before being killed. This combo is a hyper-aggressive class that reckless players will probably enjoy using.

Main Ways of Build

Strength and Dexterity are the best attributes to focus on for purely boosting damage, while supplemental Stamina is good to look for to keep higher levels of health.

This combo makes effective use of dual-wielding, and it can be done without relying on daggers since Shadowstab Perfection allows for the bleeding effect without a dagger. Slash and Tactical Attack are generally, and safely, avoided to make the most of Probing Attack and Open Flank to apply Vulnerable and Weakened. This allows the use of Thunder, which is a great stun in PvP. Higher damage can also come from Berserk, which eventually no longer increases damage taken, and Whirlwind, which is greatly improved. There's not much more that needs to be said about Warrior / Rogue; it simply has very high critical damage, but that damage comes at the cost of almost no group utility.
