Talents
Assassination
Assassination is a talent line that focuses on poisons and rapid combo point generation. The early section of the tree has a good number of general utility talents that benefit any rogue build.
A deep assassination build focuses on dual wielding daggers using mutilate and poisons.
Combat
The combat tree focuses heavily on weapon damage. This tree offers several possibilities depending on weapon preference. Their are several talents focused on a single weapon type including daggers, maces, swords, and fists.
High calibur geared out combat rogues tend to be very energy efficient thanks to combat potency and a high hit rating.
There are many popular combat builds focusing on various specialities.
A sinister strike mace spec build is often utilized in pvp for its added stun effect. As rogues already have a couple of stuns, this is very effective. Sinister strike swords can also be a popular varient. Fists are less often seen.
A combat dagger build can be extremely effective at putting out his sustained dps in pve raid environements.
Subtlety
Subtlety is somewhat of a utility tree. It adds many nice tricks and buffs to the rogue's defensive abilities. One of the most noted features is a pair of early talents that improve the rogue's core ability to stealth. One makes the player harder to detect and the other shortens the cooldown on using stealth while also increasing movement speed while in stealth. These two talents are very popular choices for pvp but are somewhat less useful in pve.
While there are a lot of utility talents, subtely does have some teeth when it comes to adding damage. Hemorrhage is a very popular talent. The skill is similar to sinister strike but requires less energy to use and debuffs the target increasing physical damage taken. Hemo is another popular build for pvp and even holds water in a pve environment.
Deep within subtley is the talent shadowstep. Perhaps one of the most fun abilities around, shadowstep will actually teleport the rogue behind their current target. It also ups the damage of the next ability by 20% and gives a short boost in movement speed.
