Rogues in the Game

In the World of Warcraft, the Rogue is a class that most of the players never used to like it because it has some unfair advantages in Player vs. Player battles. Now more players tend to get more frustrated with Paladins and Death Knights so much of the heat has been removed from the Rogue. As a whole the Rogue class will become much more powerful in the next patch 3.1.

As a Rogue, you should keep in mind that there are a few things you must know when you are choosing the race for you. Since most Rogues are rolled for Player vs. Player purposes, we highly recommend rolling a class has some nice abilities for Player vs. Player.

Let us take Human and Night Elves as example; they have some major advantages in Player vs. Player with their racial abilities and buffs. Night elves have higher agility and shadow meld ability while in combat or out; a move that works similar to stealth but doesn't allow you to move about. Humans have increased expertise with many of the weapons and the ability to remove all fear, stun, mind control, traps, slowing and the like. If you're planning on going Horde, Troll Rogues have increased critical strike chance in a few ranged weapons and higher agility as well. They can increase their attack speed on a low cool-down. Undead Rogues can become completely immune to all fear and charm effects for about 15 seconds, which is great for going up against Warlocks; making them almost completely useless against you. Blood elves are up for debate about Rogues, but their ability to silence everything in a radius is nice for both Player vs. Player and Player vs. Environment.

For our part, leveling in the spec suits you best is what is going to allow you to do the most efficient leveling. Many people say that combat is best for leveling but there are other specs that allow you to do quite significant damage. Assassination has some awesome crits for leveling and sub will allow you to quest much more efficiently and avoid mobs that you would have to take down if you were a different spec. If you go sub or assassination, you can also quite easily Player vs. Player whenever you feel like it.

When it comes to gearing, it's pretty important for Rogue. Gearing Rogues is also extremely important because they are a class that is very dependent on their gear. For the most part, you should make sure that you have the ability to keep a really slow dagger in your main hand all the way as well as increase damage on backstabs, ambushes and mutilates. Agility is your primary DPS stat and stamina will help keep you alive while doing just about everything. You can only wear leather, so your ability to take a hit is dramatically reduced. Focus on stuns and stats; not your armor.

As above-mentioned, this information is all about Rogues in the game. We hope that you can get the hang of it as well as make the most of it at your disposal. Good luck!
