🎭Rogue Job
On Classic Reimagined the Rogue becomes a "weaken, then punish" fighter. Strip, Curse, Mask or Stun an enemy first, then hit it with your custom attacks for bonus damage from the class signature, Opportunist. The kit mixes spinning blade attacks, a dash, hit-and-run strikes, a decoy bomb escape, a Bow chain shot and a party speed buff.
ℹ️Classic 99/50 server. All custom skills are learned from the normal skill tree with skill points; each one needs only Lv 1 of its prerequisite skill (current patch, November 2026).
⚠️The custom skills and Opportunist work for the normal Rogue only. They are not passed on to Stalker, Baby Rogue or other classes.

Class Signature: Opportunist
⭐Class signature: a built-in bonus every player of this job has. It needs no skill points and works automatically: follow the pattern below to trigger its bonus.
| Who | Normal Rogue (automatic) |
| Build | Weaken the enemy: stripped (any Strip), Cursed, Masked (Masquerade - Ignorance) or Stunned |
| Ready | As long as the enemy stays weakened |
| Bonus | Your custom attacks deal +15% damage to it (+7% vs players, player-owned summons and on PvP / GvG maps) |
| Recovery | None: every hit on a weakened enemy gets the bonus |
Opportunist is not a combo you build up. It is always on: the moment an enemy is weakened, every custom Rogue attack that hits it does more damage.
Skills that get the bonus
Shadow Waltz, Abyssal Edge, Dread Howl, Fatal Menace, Deft Stab, Unlucky Rush, Chain Reaction Shot and Feint Bomb.
Ways to weaken an enemy
| State | How to apply it |
|---|---|
| Stripped | Strip Weapon, Strip Shield, Strip Armor, Strip Helm or Strip Accessory |
| Cursed | Unlucky Rush (16-40% chance) |
| Masked | Masquerade - Ignorance |
| Stunned | Dread Howl (3 s Stun), or a party member's Stun |
Notes
- Each enemy is checked on its own: in an area attack, only the weakened enemies get the bonus.
- Only physical (weapon) damage gets the bonus. Abyssal Edge counts because it hits as a weapon attack.
- A buff icon shows for 3 s each time the bonus lands, and a chat message (at most once every 3 s) confirms it.
- Normal attacks, Back Stab and other original Rogue skills don't get the bonus.

Changes to Original Skills
| Skill | Change |
|---|---|
| Back Stab | Can now reach enemies up to 6 cells away. SP cost 35 (was 16); after-cast delay 0.2 s (was 0.5 s). |
| Removed from the Rogue tree | Viper Fang, Fate Reaver and Shadow Instinct are no longer learnable. Silent Edge moved to the Assassin. |
Tips
- Basic combo: weaken first (a Strip, Unlucky Rush's Curse, Masquerade - Ignorance or Dread Howl's Stun), then unload Deft Stab, Fatal Menace and Shadow Waltz for +15% each.
- Packs: Dread Howl stuns everything within 4 cells, so your next Shadow Waltz gets Opportunist on all of them.
- Escape: Feint Bomb leaps you away and still damages whoever follows; Fatal Menace also slips you out after the hit.
- Bow Rogue: Chain Reaction Shot uses your arrow's element and hits a 7x7 area; pair it with Vulture's Eye for range.
- Party play: keep Phantom Step up on the group, and use it right away when someone gets slowed.
