What stands out in Forever
A closer look at two changes Blizzard described for Rogue. These are pre-launch preview details, not a live-game guarantee.
Poison preparation
The preview increases poison charges and allows poisons alongside temporary weapon enchantments.
A stealthier Sap
Blizzard describes Sap as no longer breaking Stealth, giving groups another way to set up control.
Selected abilities
A practical selection from Blizzard’s Forever class preview, rather than a complete spellbook. Use your in-game spellbook and trainer for all ranks and the latest details. New to these terms? Learn about group roles and crowd control.

| Level | Ability | What it does | Forever preview |
|---|---|---|---|
| — | Sap | Control an enemy before a group engages. | Using Sap no longer breaks Stealth in the preview. |
| — | Distract | Redirect attention while setting up from Stealth. | Affected enemies have reduced Stealth detection for 10 seconds. |
| — | Expose Armor | Reduce a target’s armor for the group. | No longer prevents a Warrior from using Sunder Armor on that target. |
| — | Feint | Reduce the threat you have generated. | The preview doubles its threat reduction. |
| — | Poisons | Prepare weapons with poison effects. | The preview allows poisons alongside temporary weapon enchantments. |
A dash means the linked preview did not specify an unlock level. Information reflects Blizzard’s beta announcement, checked November 2, 2026, and may change.
