Not sure if you’re still following this post, but i would recommend leveling as Subtlety (sp?)

I have a 80 Rogue on a old server and instead of paying to Xfer him i decided to get some heirlooms and start a new one. I leveled my original rogue as Combat Swords… it’s not bad, but kind of boring.

On this new alt, i got the Heirloom Dagger and Sword for weapons, shoulder/chest/trinkets/bow for stats. O… M… G… Sub. is sooo much more fun. You know all those little tricks you just discovered???? Well Sub. is all about the little tricks. Not to mention the fun Ambush Crits. But when your CD’s are all down to 2 min. and a 5 min. CD that can reset them all, you are using CD’s like they’re no one’s business. If there’s a 2 mob pull, i’ll sap one, kill one, and then vanish so i can ambush the sapped one just for shits and giggles.

Anyways, now you’ve got me excited, need to head home and play my rogue :o)

“I just wish I had a “cause excess threat” move on a Rogue”
You want threat? Take up engineering. AoE damage from bombs, a plethora of trinkets, mage-like teleports, slow-fall parachute cloaks, threat management Target Dummies…..
You just have to make sure to level it to the max whenever possible, otherwise its extra damage is pathetic compared to your own.

Welcome to the world of rogues.

The play style is fun. I’d advise that you stick with combat tree for now (I think I assumed correctly that you’re in the Combat tree?) and go for Mutilation once the tier becomes available with your talent points. You could of course try the Subtlety tree – it’s great fun and gives you a lot of utility needed when you’re soloing (it’s more useful on a pvp realm, but it’s still nice).

Cheers!

When I saw the title I thought we were going to get another BBB in the Marines story, about movement while under fire. Good times:

I’m up

I’m running

They see me

I’m down

Course I always had the knack of landing on the ants nest when I went down. :)

:) I love the idea for the Inigo Montoya move (great movie). They only reason I kinda figured out how to play a rogue was with kitty form on the druid. Even that is not the same just close.

Well have lots of fun on vacation. Enjoy!!

I will not install WoW again, no matter how much fun you make it sound and no matter how much of an urge I have to go create a raft of new characters. .-= Bo´s last blog ..Watch this space! =-.

Keefmoon, my lvl 80 rouge is the alt I play when I want to be alone. I never felt comfortable in groups with him. Roguery just seems to be a loner silent type thing and there are times when that is what I want.

chopped liver :P

No really, rouges are kul.

I really enjoyed leveling Melpo. I was normally solo, did many group quests on my own (before heirlooms), and loved stealthing in and taking out a named mob or rare. The one thing that I get sad about is that at level 80, a number of my cool abilities (gouge is one I can think of off the top of my head) aren’t really needed anymore. Thanks to this, I’m actually considering that when Cataclysm comes out my worgen will be another rogue. Maybe.

You can still buy them with Emblems, you can just also get them with Seals.

Oh man, I wish I’d realized the trinkets weren’t unique! Oh well, my mage is almost 80.
