Rogue exile

Rogue exiles are a special type of monsters. Wandering around Wraeclast, these hostile exiles seek out a fight to the death. Rogue exiles start appearing in Part 2 of the campaign and have an ~8% chance to appear in maps.

Mechanics

Rogue exiles are Unique monsters based on playable characters and can use player skills, including Dodge Roll. They use a more advanced AI than other monsters with smart targeting and smart pathfinding.

They also come equipped with their own set of equipment, which can occasionally include drop-enabled unique items, and stats from these items will affect the rogue exile. Any unique items they carry will be displayed under their modifiers.

When defeated, rogue exiles will drop all the equipment they were carrying. If you are defeated by a rogue exile, they will open a Town Portal and leave the area.
