The internet: Was it any good? Vanilla Rogues: "I am scissors. Everyone else is paper. Except warriors, which are rock. Scissors beat paper. When leveling, scissors also beat rock. Rock eventually becomes an unstoppable killing machine, but rock can't find scissors. And that is balance."

Don't get me wrong, i do love to do that too and that's why i am helping you to explain yourself without recieving all the hate of the rest of the followers of my favorite classic wow channel 😀😀.

TBC + vanilla rogues had the strongest toolkit in the game. Every piece worked together. It’s not surprising they got less utility in later expansions because they were already so stacked. I easily think rogues their best designed class. When I finally broke down at the end of TBC and leveled a rogue it was an absolute blast. I can’t speak to end game gearing or grouping of course I quit the game when my rogue was shy of 60.

I'd say that Improved Gouge 3/3 is a must for leveling. With no other means to heal apart from potions +1.5s of bandaging is a great thing. Also, for leveling Deflection 5/5 and Riposte are extremely good. Parry not only negates all damage but also allows attacking straightaway. And Riposte is a solid + to dps at the cost of just 10 enegy.

Hunters really screwed up a rogues day though, hunters mark revealing stealth from 100 yards, flares, serpent sting, pet aggro from 100 yards whilst stealthed, annoying amounts of dodge and melee survival skills on a mail armoured class. When I played on my hunter I didn't fear rogues at all, if anything felt like they were a free kill. On my priest however I felt the rogue pimp hand very hard, often dead before even getting out of stunlock, when I tried a rogue myself I couldn't get over how incredibly careful you had to be, managing your energy with the slow tick regens, positioning and having cooldowns ready, plus how squishy they were when cooldowns were down and how quick a warrior could delete rogues with overpower. Made me have much more respect for them. Retail rogue in comparison is incredibly easy to play and lost alot of the PvP fear once resilience gear was everywhere.

I don't really agree with your initial spec for combat swords for raids. Improved Eviscerate is more important than ruthlessness and improved gouge helps save healers from trash, as dodge / parry doesn't really do anything in a raid setting, but that extra 1.5 seconds is enough for someone to get a healing cast off or a self bandage if a stray whelp is gnawing your face. Also, the problem with dagger specs for later content is certain bosses you just can't backstab spam so the spec is dead weight. Combat swords is always the best though I did not do Naxx in vanilla so I could be ignorant of the fact.

You sound a little like Robert Webb fro Peep Show. He plays Jeremy Osborne! Anyway, Rogue player here from back in the day. Great series recap. Combat Daggers will hit the biggest amount of damage end game by a long way. Remember to spec that faster dagger in the off-hand! It's also amazing for PVP. Poisons used to be an issue in raids. Also, they had no effect on many bosses! Its been years, so i cannot remember where to spend your points. It just works very very well. Back Stab is a blessing in raids.

Not sure if you covered this but a big tip I recommend is to start building a regen set and hotkey with outfitter. Switch over during any downtime and hotkey back to main set before entering combat. You'll gain mana like a god and your overall healing in raids will be fire. This is also extremely valuable while leveling and further reduces time to 60

The main point of weapon skill isn't about "landing hits more consistently" and it certainly doesn't become "less important later on." I think you're confusing warriors that turn their autoattacks from white hits into yellow hits (making them not benefit from weapon skill) with rogues who are always reliant on their white hits to do damage. The main point of weapon skill is to reduce lost damage from glancing blows, which is why it's very important to have at all gear levels.

I can't state how much I loved Subtlety. Mainly for exploring. Back in Vanilla I used to use Shadowstep to get up on top of Ironforge, up on the airport and the farms by using it to step behind a sheep that was always on a cliff top (and still is in Classic I noticed). It was great if you enjoyed exploring. Rogues may be called upon to open a lot of locked boxes too, as well as a couple doors if I recall. Some of your poisons you could actually pickpocket off enemies. There were healing potions too, but I don't recall if they were in Vanilla or not. Fun spec to level anyhow. Again, I usually don't care much about end game stuff as much as leveling.

I rolled warlock in TBC. I felt like food to the melee classes most days especially being a gnome and facing WotF. When at the end of TBC I broke down and made a rogue. The toolkit was so much more intuitive. Once I got past the 20’s slog i became a monster but not more so than when I hit 50 and could pick up shadowstep. Suddenly I’d pop in and burst down enemies in an instant or rupture, garrote a warrior and pop away to mob before they knew what hit them. I was a well oiled killing machine each skill and ability seemed to compliment the other with the singular goal of locking down and destroying your opponent/s. There’s nothing like it in the game. Except maybe resto druid? Which felt like an amazing battlefield healer. I am not saying rogue isn’t hard sometimes just that the toolkit is fluid, dynamic and deep enough you can almost always see how you could’ve come out on top or escaped (like Druid). Obviously warriors were better melee and absolute wrecking balls at cap with a healer. But beyond maybe levels 20-30 rogue is an amazing experience.

@@OpiatesAndTits The Paladin was my favourite during Vanilla, in TBC it was a shadow priest, and in Wrath it was a mage. The last character I absolutely loved before I basically quit the game was the Balance Druid. If I had to choose only one, it would probably be my Arcane Mage. Love the ability to teleport to anywhere in the world.

I personally never went with the Ebon Mask... sure, it's a solid item and usually offers more DPS for you than the other two items.... but the -fall damage on the cloak has impressive utility in some of the BGs, allowing you to drop down most any of the cliffs in AB without breaking stealth.
@bartofii
5 жыл бұрын
both the other rewards offer harder to replace bonuses. Hell the ebon mask looks pretty lackluster compared to BRD drops once you examine what the stats give. Like If I remember right... the ghostshroud would give like .5% crit from it's agility and between the strength and agility on it was around 31 ap AND it gave you more health to stand in fire. Now granted it IS a higher ilvl item, but both are going to be stuff you run into around the early 50's. That said... jumping off the great lift and surviving is a good selling point for the cape, it also makes those LM => BS or BS => Mine rushes easier since you'll be nowhere near 'critical' health range with that drape on.
@Zeknif1
5 жыл бұрын
If my memory serves, the LM=>BS and the BS=>mine drops were actually within non-damaging range at certain points while you had the cape (The way they coded it, it pushed back the distance you could fall without taking damage in addition to reducing damage taken after you surpassed the new threshold), allowing you to retain stealth. It was also pretty handy when farming rep for the Wintersaber since you could drop down into the crevice at one point and onto a tower, and then drop down from the tower with minimal loss of HP at one of the drop zones.

I lost that account to a friend... but ever since I've always had a main rogue alt for ganks and pvp, and a druid alt because I was that ass that wrecked you then killed a mob onlly to hide in its corpse while stealthed so you couldn't see me from the Ghost Lands.
