About the Rogue: The rogue class in WoW is extremely popular as you can see the number of rogues in the WoW servers. The rogue is not an easy character to play with but with practice and skill, the rogues are perfect for the kill. The rogue is more focused on stealth attacks and backstabs, so generally it is more focused on PVP kills and some players may find it difficult to level up on PVE. Some beginners of WoW actually ignore the racial benefits of each race. But in WoW, these certain racial skills can provide you with the advantage in a battlefield. So choosing the best race in creating the rogue character is an essential first step.
