Players don't necessarily have to end up in combat blind. Most, if not all, NPCs can be Examined via the interaction button. Examine reveals almost everything about an NPC - from their name and race, down to their Tale

Out of the three, summoning is more useful for a player who wants more distance between them and the enemy. The huntsman skill line is useful for players who only want to use select scoundrel abilities so they can keep a bow equipped instead of dual-wielding daggers.

Some, though, prefer to mix it up, to strike from the shadows, and leap back into the dark as soon as the damage is done, keeping the enemy ever on their toes. This is the art of the rogue, the stealthy, sharp striker class that excels at both damage dealing and unmatched mobility.
