Guide to Rogue PvP
First Guide
Introduction
Hey this is Vashna of the Kharma Trolls(Illidan).
Ive been in a lot of PvP battles and I have given
many people tips on PvP, so I thought hey why not
make a guide(more like a tip list) to people who
have trouble with Rogues in PvP.
Now you may think that it takes no skill to PvP as a
Rogue but think again. We cannot take the hits of
heavier armor users, we cant heal(we can just we
have to buy pots or first aid to be able too), and
we have no real great DoT(except Garrote, Rupture,
and Poison but I'll get into that later). So how to
prep yourself to PvP as a Rogue...
Stats
First of all you have to build up your stats to how
you want to fight an enemy and build your talent
tree. On the stats part focus mainly on Agi, Stam,
and Atk Pwr. Str is good but you will want the extra
Stam to last the extra mile(like Rogues can actually
last the extra mile in the first place). Contrary to
popular belief Atk Pwr owns. Although Agi is better
raw pure Atk Pwr makes a HUGE difference in dmg. The
extra Atk Pwr will help to take down the classes
with heavier armor(IE: Mail/Plate users). Your
talent tree is also a very important part of the
whole aspect of PvP.
Talent Tree
Your talent tree determines your whole style of
being a Rogue in PvP. There are many different kind
of Rogues. Chain Stun/Assasination, Chain Crit,
Combat, Subtlety(never met a Rogue that is Subtlety
but I have heard of them), Assasination/Combat.
Chain Stun/Assasination is keeping your enemy unable
to attack back as long as possible while you do
damage to them.
*example Talent Tree: Chain Stun/Assasination*
Improved Evis - 3/3
Murder - 2/2
Ruthlessness - 3/3
Relentless Strikes
Improved Kidney Shot - 3/3
Vile Poisons - 5/5
Cold Blood
Seal Fate - 5/5
Chain Crit is constantly hitting your enemy as hard
as possible for the entire fight, this also REQUIRES
extremely high Agi.
*example Talent Tree: Chain Crit*
Improved Evis - 3/3
Remorseless Attacks - 5/5
Malice - 5/5
Ruthlessness - 3/3
Relentless Strikes
Lethality - 5/5
Vile Poisons - 5/5
Improved Instant Poison - 5/5
Cold Blood
Improved Deadly Poison - 5/5
Seal Fate - 5/5
Vigor
Combat Rogues are a very good choice. They can go
toe to toe with other classes(IE: Warriors, Hunter,
Shamans/Paladins) because of their abilities.
*example Talent Tree: Combat Tree*
Improved Sinister Strike - 2/2
Lightning Reflexes - 5/5
Deflection - 5/5
Riposte
Dual Wield Specialization - 5/5
Dagger/Sword/Mace/Fist Specialization - 5/5 <-- You
may be able to specialize in two of these if you
place your talents right.
Blade Furry
Improved Backstab - 3/3
Agression - 3/3
Adrenaline Rush
Assasination/Combat Rogues are my personal favorite.
They can do damage and can stun an enemy. It is a
deadly combination, but also this Rogue cannot do
the burst damage of a Chain Crit or Stun as well as
a full Chain Stun/Assasination Rogue.
*example Talent Tree: Assasination/Combat*
Assasination
Improved Eviscrate - 3/3
Malice - 5/5
Murder 2/2
Lethality 5/5
Vile Poisons - 5/5
Combat
Improved Sinister Strike - 2/2
Lightning Reflexes - 5/5
Deflection - 5/5
Precision - 5/5
Riposte
*Note: None of these Talent Trees are the full 51
points and they are not supposed to be. You need
some points to add a little of your own flavor to
the Talent Trees.*
In-Fight Healing
A Rogue cannot heal WELL. We can heal if we have
potions or bandages. In a fight if you are running
low on health hit them with Blind and use a
bandage(or if a Paladin throws up a shield). A
potion is a last resort item, if it gets to this
point you may want to consider Vanish and getting
out of there. But if you are fairly even on health
and you use a potion and you go up to mid health and
they are still at low dont run just kill them and
keep moving.
DoT
Our DoTs are not very effective. Garrote is great at
lower levels(pre-30) but after this your opponents
tend to have so much health the damage it does is
irrelevant. Rupture is great if you are an Combat
Rogue, but the burst damage of Eviscrate or the
stunning effect of Kidney Shot dwarf it. If you can
get a full 5 point Rupture off the damage will be
great against clothes(ie: Mages. Warlocks, Priest)
because of there low health, but against heavier
classes the damage is not effective. ..
