For those of you on the vine familiar with the likes of RPGs like dragon age, diablo, wow, guild wars, elder scrolls etc, lore-wise I can't seem to understand how a rogue/assassin character could fight and survive maybe even kill a mage/wizard character. In D3 there is the wizard who can create black holes and transform themselves into beings of pure arcane energy, as well as freezing time. My point is that in all of these fantasy worlds you have magical characters with so much power, how could a rogue - who are typically armed with daggers and bows and other gadgets - take on someone so powerful and win?
