Profession's ( 24 rogue )

[Nesyla]

Hello (20-) 24's community

I'v currently joined the bracket with a rogue, i'v seen several very nice gearing guides as well as a couple of armory, but i haven't seen any profession guide.

Saw that most go for herb / engi, what are the main benefits from having these two at this level ? Are They actually BIS or is there something better ?

Thanks in advance for any reply,

get engi and mining first. farm tons of ore. drop mining and grind out jc. make tons of statues. drop jc and max out skinning.
i always thought herb was for casters.

herb > skinning for definite !

55 haste and a minor heal every 2 minutes vs a flat 9 crit rating.

no contest imo.

Aight so Herbalism for a minor healing and some haste, what's the reason behind Engi though ? Isen't there anything more usefull ?

engi is a must.

if you are rich, then level JC, make tons of statues, drop JC and pick up herb. when you run out of statues, level JC again...

if you are poor, then simply keep JC and don't bother with herb.

35% crit or more all the time vs a 70 -200ish heal and some melee haste every 2 mins? you plan on being out of stealth longer than it takes to ambush backstab? before lifeblood was nerfed and it was a hot, sure it rocked. healed for way more i think too.

I dont know if it is wise sharing this with the 24 rogues in here but oh well....
This thing gets you out of combat once every hour. Just learn to switch trinkets when you need it. It is basically an extra vanish, so if you know you need 3 ambushes to get an efc down you can switch to this thing.

Wait.. 35%, where the eck does that number come from? 9 crit rating is around 2,1% crit at lvl 24, while the heal can keep you alive for a couple extra seconds + give you some extra haste.

Edit: Also. Go Goblin Engineering and grab some http://www.wowhead.com/item=10646/goblin-sapper-charge. Instant 500-1300 damage.

Just go ambush then http://www.wowhead.com/item=10646/goblin-sapper-charge and efc is most likely dead. If efc got high health, go ambush, vanish, ambush and then bomb. The bomb is instant and deals damage to all enemies around you (8 yards I think), while yourself loose around 500hp.

Alright so according to what i read Engi duo to enchants and bombs and Herbalism duo to a tiny heal and some Haste are both recommended as best ?

I'd like to thank those who took some time to reply.

Level up Engi and JC, make 1 million dense stone statues and drop JC ( if u cba), then level herb to 225.

most 24 rogues i see hover around 30% crit with stam/agil gear. if you want to stack crit the buff from skinning and engi boots with surefooted will put you over 35%.

stacking crit is absolutely useless to a rogue at low level brackets. they're useful for about 3 seconds. after ambush your just done. and with the sub talents you're easily at 90-100% crit chance on ambush.
