The burglar is, as it's name suggests, the rogue/thief/ninja of the game, compaired with other games. They like to attack from sneak attacks, and, when combat has been entered, make their enemies lightened of their great loads. Sneaking as a burglar won't increase many skills' damage, but the ones it does increase will go up quite a bit. However, in spite of the damage from stealth, they are NOT the best for a DPS role. Their attacks are somewhat weaker, even weaker than that of a guardian sometimes.
The most known and perhaps the greatest thing about them is their debuffing abilities, and also their skills allowing FM (High dealing damage or healing skills, performed from fellowships). Burglars have a great deal many skills which make the enemy much, much easier to kill, for both themselves and their fellows. They are also the only class which can reliably start a FM (Some other roles, such as a Lore-Master with the Bog Lurker, can start them, but not always, unlike the burglar), and have class items increasing FM's power.
They are not the best class for solo play, especially as their DPS is low, their armour is medium, and they can't easily take on multi enemies, but all in all, a rather good class. In fellowships, a Burglar will prove highly useful, especially when dealing with bosses, or enemies higher lvl to yourselves.
If you choose a Burglar, you will not be disapointed.
