Marauder is nothing like a rogue, they are like medium armor fury warriors. -Fury/Rage Mechanic -No Stealth -Only similarity is Dual-Wield Operative is the closest port to a rogue you can possibly get. -Backstabs/Positional Attacks -Stealth -Poisons -Very Reliant on Stealth Openers for Burst Assassin is like a Light Armored Death Knight with Stealth -Dark Charge/Lightning Charge/Surging Charge (Blood Presence, Frost Presence, Unholy Presence) -Force Pull (Death Grip) -Can tank and dps -Melee and Ranged Abilities -Low Reliance on Stealth for Survival On a further note, everyone and their mother are rolling Sith Sorcerers and Assassins. Therefore, if you want the class that most plays like a rogue and don't like thousands of other people having the same class as you, go with operative. Good Luck, Have Fun
