In the World of Warcraft, the Rogue class is the premiere melee fighting unit, able to inflict significant damage in a flurry of offensive strikes. The Rogue is a master assassin, utilizing stealth to its fullest potential and making the shadows his ally to gain the upper hand in every encounter. The Rogue can appear out of nowhere and disappear with ease, waiting for the opportune time to strike deadly blows.

In addition to using stealth, the Rogue is also an able poison maker. He can make concoctions that can cripple or damage his enemies, making them more vulnerable to his subsequent attacks.

This specific skill transforms enemies into harmless critters for a period of time, depending on the level of the skill. Polymorph is more useful when a Mage is a member of a low-level party.

A very effective class that utilizes distance to its fullest potential, the Hunter dispatches great amounts of damage from afar and avoids melee engagements as much as possible. Being a range unit, the Hunter excels at pulling, threat distraction and redirection, and crowd control.
