Burglar Skill List: The Book 12 Edition

Edited by: Martuk

The Burglar class is the most stealthy and sneakiest class in Middle-earth. They serve as the nimble damage dealers and can dazzle their opponents with their riddles. The Burglar class will be receiving their "Month of the Burglar" update with the launch of Book 12. This will bring many changes for this class and a lot of new skill. In keeping current with these changes we have redesigned our Burglar Skill List to reflect the most up to date information for this class.

(Note: As with all classes, the skills listed below may vary in stats and damage depending on the level of the character.)
