Rogue Talent Builds

Rogue talents are pretty straight forward and there is a lot of area to adapt them for your own desires. Even though I have provided a link to a particular build, they are there for an instruction only and should be attuned to fit your needs. I have also included a rating system on the builds and where they excel. Rogues dominate in PVP though so you won't see that rating plummit in any build.
