Which class can use the 'Stealth' ability?

The story behind the answer

The Rogue class can use the “Stealth” ability in World of Warcraft. Stealth lets a Rogue become difficult or impossible for enemies to detect, allowing the player to approach targets, open combat with a powerful ability, or avoid unwanted fights.

Stealth is central to the Rogue’s identity as a scout, ambusher, and infiltrator. It supports all three classic Rogue specializations: Assassination, Outlaw, and Subtlety, although Subtlety is especially closely associated with repeated stealth-based attacks.

A common mix-up is Druid “Prowl,” which provides a similar hidden movement mechanic but is a different ability with a different name. Other classes may gain temporary invisibility or concealment effects, but the named “Stealth” ability is associated with Rogues. The ability has also changed over the years, including differences in detection, movement restrictions, and how it interacts with combat.
