Rogue / Warlock Guide

  • Hey Adventures,

    this guide is made for players who want to start playing rogue / warlock. This class combination is only for single target and do not have any aoe skills (except lvl 95 setskill). In this guide, I want to tell you the "basics" about this class, which skills are important and where you have to take your attention most. Also, if there are any corrections, please let me know about it :)



    I. Skills you always need

    I mentioned it before that this class is a burst class, means this class do not have any aoe skills. To make this class good in instances you need:

    a) Selbuffs:

    - Dark Soul Smelt +105

    "Cover your blades with darkness, normal attack hits are causing 145% attacker hand weapon DPS Dark Damage and recovers 3 focus."

    - Focal Advantage

    "Activates Focal Advantage that is providing Physical Attack Power depending on your current Fokus amount."

    - Assassins Rage

    "Increases Criitcal Physical Hit Rate equal to half of your current main hand weapon Critical Physical Hit Rate for 30 seconds and increases Physical Damage by 12%"

    - Dark Will

    "Dark Will provides its eminent power to provne champions. Increases damage dealt by 25% but decreases are damage by 90% for 15 seconds."


    if you don´t have Dark Will, you can also use


    - Ironblood Will

    "The Ironblood will increase all damage dealt by 20%. Effect lasts for 15 seconds"


    b) Skills:

    - Shadowstab +105

    "Causes 584.5% main hand weapon DPS + 0.2 x DEX Dark Damage."

    - Low Blow +105

    "Inflicts 835% main hand weapon DPS + 0.3 x DEX Dark Damage."

    - Wound Attack +105

    "Causes 766.5% main hand weapon DPS + 0.3 x DEX Dark Damage. For each Bleed or Grievous Wound on the target, Wound Attack can cause extra damage up to 2 times."

    - Premeditation

    "For 15 seconds, makes all of your hits be critical."

    - Soul Extractor +105

    "Causes 790.8% off hand weapon DPS + 0.3 DEX Dark Damage to target."

    - Life Devourer +105

    "Causes 790.8% main hand weapon DPS + 0.3 x DEX Dark Damage to target"

    - Warp Charge +105

    "Inflicts 2642.5 + 0.3 x INT Dark Damage on the enemy. Also increases Physical Attack Speed by 20.8%"


    As you can read in these skills, this class is based on dark damage. It is normally Magical, but it is Physical calculated. Dark Damage is produced by "Dark Soul Smelt".


    II. Titles


    For this class combination, there are 2 titles which are important to have & to use:

    a) "Demolition Expert" (532099)

    Attributes: +10% Attack Speed


    b) Destroyer of the Underworld (532049)

    Attributes: 10% Dark Damage



    When do I use which title?


    You are playing this class combination in 2 different scenarios: Burst & Offburst

    - Burst: You are playing instruments for a huge trash group and / or for boss -> Destroyer of the Underworld


    The reason why you should use this title is because with Lute you are getting attack speed and is replacing "Demolition Expert"

    - Offburst: You don´t play instruments because you have them on cooldown, skills are on cooldown or just normal trash -> Demolition Expert


    The reason why you should use this title is because you don´t use any selfbuffs like lute which gives you attack speed. Here gives attack speed title more dps then dps title



    Title Interface


    In your title interface, make sure to use these titles:


    - Quest Title "Savior of Light" (532086)

    Attributes: +1% Elementary Damage

    +240 All Basic Attributes


    - Challenge Title "Corrupted Champion" (532106)

    Attributes: +7% Dark Damage


    III. Setskills

    IV Tips & Last words


    It is very important to keep an eye on your focus. Depending on your focus you deal more or less damage (less focus, less damage). About macro / rota, there are many of them. Most guilds / player have their own rota, so feel free to ask them. If you wanna try it yourself, I recommend the video from "Akatzuki", who is a german player on this server.
