The burglar is a class introduced in The Lord of The Rings Online.
The Burglar[]"A really first-class and legendary burglar would at this point have picked the trolls’ pockets—it is nearly always worth while, if you can manage it—, pinched the very mutton off the spits, purloined the beer, and walked off without their noticing him. Others more practical but with less professional pride would perhaps have stuck a dagger into each of them before they observed it."
A stealthy trickster, the Burglar can dart in and out of the shadows to befuddle, weaken, or damage foes. An unexpected strike from behind by a burglar can stun or trip enemies, allowing others in his party to combine their efforts for a devastating attack. Unassuming on his own, a burglar would be wise to not be caught alone. The Burglar is the class of choice for players that enjoy using cunning and tricks to defeat their opponents. Using concealment, a Burglar can strike from the shadows, taking his opponents unawares. With his wit, a Burglar can show his allies where a foe's weakness lies -- or trap someone in a riddle. A Burglar's combat style hinges on his ability to outmaneuver and outwit opponents while hitting them where it hurts. Available To Man, Hobbit Pros and Cons[]Pros

Burglar Solo Tactics[]
Rogues... Agents... Striking fear and malice into the heart of an enemy, burglars favor the dagger and sword above all else. Silence and discretion provide their strength. They employ minor mysticism and dark knowledge of shadow to strike the unsuspecting.
A smart burglar should always strike the first blow and the last, trying to outwit the enemy and attack from behind. Burglars shy away from wearing bulky armor, so must attack hard and fast.
Burglar Group Tactics[]
Use lots of stabbing (and run away when you feel like it). Use stealth to avoid the enemy's attention in order to stay alive. This skill is called Hide in Plain Sight in which the burglar is briefly undetectable in stealth, Stealth is not broken by damage, and run speed is set to 100% for 10 seconds.
