Rogue Talent Builds

Rogue talents are pretty straight forward and there is a lot of room to customize them for your own needs. Even though I have provided a link to a specific build, they are there for a guideline only and should be adjusted to suit your needs. I have also included a rating system on the builds and where they excell. Rogues dominate in World PvP though so you won't see that rating plummit in any build.
