Utility
Disarm Trap	Disarms a trap
Dismantle	Disarms the enemy for 8 seconds, on a 60-second cooldown
Garrote	3-second Silence (4 with Glyph of Garrote), requires to be in Stealth
Deadly Throw	When used with more than 3 Combo Points, it interrupts and silences.
Kick	Interrupt, 15-second cooldown (13-second if successful with Glyph of Kick)
Shiv	Dispels 1 enrage effect on a 10-second cooldown (8-second with Glyph of Shiv)
Shroud of Concealment	Raid-wide stealth for 15 seconds, on a 5-minute cooldown
Crowd Control
Crippling Poison	Single-target 50% slow (can be applied on multiple targets at once with Fan of Knives). 70% slow when used with Shiv.
Cheap Shot	4-second Stun (5 with Glyph of Cheap Shot), requires Stealth.
Kidney Shot	Stun, lasts longer per Combo Point consumed, up to 6 seconds, on a 20-second cooldown. Stun duration is increased with Rogue T15 4P Bonus.
Paralytic Poison	Stuns the target for 3 seconds at 4 stacks. Does not share Diminishing Returns with most other standard stuns.
Gouge	4-second Incapacitate
Sap	1-minute Incapacitate, requires Stealth. We advise you to always sap targets from behind, as it reduces the risk that you will be detected.
Blind	1-minute Disorientate, 2-minute cooldown
Survival
Sprint	Increases movement speed by 70% (100% with Glyph of Sprint) for 8 seconds.
Recuperate	Over-time self healing ability
Cloak of Shadows	Provides Immunity against magical damage and harmful magical effects. Also removes magical debuffs, which can help a Rogue bypass encounter mechanics and do more DPS. Provides 40% physical damage reduction if Glyph of Cloak of Shadows is active.
Combat Readiness Evasion	Melee attacks mitigation. Evasion's duration is increased by Glyph of Evasion. Evasion allows Rogues to flawlessly tank adds and bosses during its 10-second duration. That said, keep in mind that many physical damage-dealing abilities cannot be dodged (such as Rook Stonetoe's Corruption Kick in the Fallen Protectors encounter.
Feint	AoE damage mitigation — Duration increased by Glyph of Feint; Can be improved by Elusiveness
Smoke Bomb	Prevents you from being attacked for 5 seconds (7 with Glyph of Smoke Bomb) and reduces damage taken by allies by 20%.
Growl	This ability is gained through Symbiosis (the Druid gains Cloak of Shadows). The taunt effect rarely works, so you should see this ability as an important survival cooldown.
Vanish	Threat reset
