Description
Rogues in Dark and Darker are skilled thieves, assassins, and infiltrators, who rely on cunning, agility and stealth to accomplish their objectives. They are experts at avoiding detection, picking locks, disarming traps, and gathering information. Rogues can also deal lethal damage from a distance or up close, using ranged weapons or sneak attacks. They can also use their sleight of hand to steal from their enemies, making them a valuable asset when it comes to acquiring rare items and treasures.

Cut Throat |
If the next physical attack is successful, it cancels all of the target's current animations and channels of casting Spells/Skills/Songs, refunding the cast to the target and applying a Silence debuff to the victim for 4 seconds. Silence prevents the further use of Spells/Skills/Songs. Additionally Cut Throat removes all Skill-sourced buffs that apply an effect on-hit, like Blow of Corruption, Smite, other Cut-Throats, Blood Exchange, etc. It also purges some other specific buffs, which do not fit the previously mentioned criteria and can be found below.
Interactions
| Cutthroat removes the effect buff of the following effects, which were performed after the activation animation had completely finished:
Extra purges that don't already meet the mentioned criteria
Barbarian: War Sacrifice, Reckless Attack
Cleric: Divine Protection
Fighter: Adrenaline Rush, Perfect Block
Rogue: Hide
Ranger: Penetrating Shot, Forceful Shot
Wizard: Intense Focus
Cutthroat does not remove: Rage, Warcry, Arcane Shield, Sprint, Second Wind, Taunt, Quick Fire, True Shot, any of Bard's buffs
Weird interactions:
Quickshot and Multishot get their cooldown refunded so its effectively a buff. Rations have their animation go off, have the skill go on cooldown but the heal does not go through.

These Stats do not include starting armor.
- Armor penetration abilities do not affect negative PDR, which means they have no affect on Monsters except some bosses
- Prioritize bringing bandages instead of potions into a raid, because potions last less time and therefore also heal less on Rogues due to their abysmal Buff Duration stat.
- Use your invisibility skill to ambush enemy players or de-aggro monsters.
- Use your throwing knives, they can do quite a bit of damage. You can even apply your on hit debuff skills and poison with them.
- You are not as durable as a Fighter, don't take big group fights head on, prioritize ambushing their low health or supportive team mates, to quickly turn the tides of battle into your favor. If you are forced to fight head-on, use your superior movement speed to your advantage by spacing yourself out of the enemy's range.
- If you are hiding in the dark, be sure to unequip your potions from your quick-slots, since they glow in the dark and would give your position away. In the same vein, enemies can see your weapons glowing in the dark if you use your buff abilities or Poison Weapon.
- You can use Hide while jumping up in the air if you crouch or shift walk, this will confuse the enemy and make your movements unpredictable.
- You cannot use your Hide skill while holding a light source in your hands.
- Keep in mind that swapping weapons and items makes noise, even if you are invisible.
