Rogue

Axe Proficiency

Have you ever wanted to brutally hack your enemy to death with an axe? I hope not. But if your answer is yes, you're in luck! Rogues can now equip One-Handed Axes to use in combat, giving you a greater selection of weapons to choose from.

Combo Points

Selecting another target will no longer delete your combo points, instead your combo points will be deleted only if you generate a new combo point on a different target. Along with this, Rogues have received a new ability named Redirect. This ability transfers your existing combo points to your new target, allowing you to switch targets with greater ease.

Lockpicking

The Lockpicking skill itself has not changed, but we are committed to ensuring this ability sees new uses in our custom content. For example, the existing Scholomance dungeon now features a locked door right at the beginning inside the dungeon, meaning every group now requires a key to actually progress. This door can also be lockpicked! This saves you the trouble and gold required to obtain this key.
