When speaking with director of the WoW cataclysm Gold  game Luis Barriga, he stated that the initial WoW?Cataclysm?Classic Rogue was an initial point of departure for them to expand the character class within WoW?Cataclysm?Classic.

"So we can conclude is that the Rogue is the godmother I suppose, in this particular case, is similar to other Dexterity related classes within RPGs." He said. "What do I mean by that is that we can add the above elements to the class we loved from The Assassin or The Demon Hunter. With WoW?Cataclysm?Classic of course we're looking to expand beyond D1 We're saying that The Sisterhood of the Sightless Eye is one of the groups you'll locate, and some remnants of them because it's an organization which was destroyed and lost to time for a short period of but maybe players will learn the activities they've been involved in. There's also all the various cutthroats are out there all over the world, and you can pick up techniques from any of them. We've managed to simply make the class an extremely basic imagination to get started and then build on the concepts we'd like to explore in an Dexterity course."

As an Rogue You can also temporarily add elementsal properties (frost shadow, frost, and poison) to your skills through"the imbue" system. Imbuing is available to all the Rogues attack and abilities in addition. It can also be used tandem with other players. For example the frost damage can freeze opponents, and Rogues who impregn frost are able to be frozen faster when a sorcerer's spells of blizzard.

While the majority of rogues we've have heard about so far are female characters from the WoW?Cataclysm?Classic canon, various groups and orders of rogues have appeared. As with many other players within WoW?Cataclysm?Classic, you can choose to play gender-neutral rogues according to an open Q&A session on the 20th of February.Cataclysm Classic Gold  The team behind development also wanted to grant players the ability to play as you like, and not creating backstories which would prevent your ability to be belonging to a particular group or from a certain area.
