Complete 19 Rogue Guide

Patch 3.3​

Rogues are the class that most beginners go to. Because of advantageous abilities like Stealth, Dual Wield, and Sprint, Rogues are notably dominant in the 19 bracket. Overall they are a fun class to play and if you're just getting into twinking, try a rogue!

Note that the above is not fact, and is just my personal opinion.



2) Spec/Glyph Selections

Talent Specialization

As a 19 rogue, you will have a vast choice of specs. It all depends on whether you play more Warsong Gulch or Arenas, and just your personal playstyle.

0/2/8

Standard WSG Build



0/0/10

Sap Spam Build

Glyph Selections

There are five glyphs that most rogues use. It all again depends on the spec and playstyle that you like, but here they are: Glyph of Sinister Strike, Glyph of Eviscerate, Glyph of Sprint, Glyph of Ambush, and Glyph of Garrote.

[ITEM]Scout's Medallion[/ITEM] / [ITEM]Sentinel's Medallion[/ITEM]

[ITEM]Forest Leather Bracers[/ITEM]



Enchant - 9 Stamina



Hands:

[ITEM]Gloves of the Fang[/ITEM]



Enchant - 15 Agility



Waist:

[ITEM]Vigorous Belt[/ITEM] (of the Monkey, of the Wild, or of the Bandit)

[ITEM]Deviate Scale Belt[/ITEM]



Legs:

[ITEM]Leggings of the Fang[/ITEM]



Enchant - 16 Armor



Feet:

[ITEM]Footpads of the Fang[/ITEM]

[ITEM]Feet of the Lynx[/ITEM]



Enchant - Minor Speed



Rings:

[ITEM]Seal of Sylvanas[/ITEM] (Horde Only) / [ITEM]Seal of Wrynn[/ITEM] (Alliance Only)

[ITEM]Legionnaire's Band[/ITEM] (Horde Only) / [ITEM]Protector's Band[/ITEM] (Alliance Only)





Trinkets:

[ITEM]Inherited Insignia of the Horde[/ITEM] / [ITEM]Inherited Insignia of the Alliance[/ITEM]

[ITEM]Insignia of the Horde[/ITEM] / [ITEM]Insignia of the Alliance[/ITEM]

[ITEM]Arena Grand Master[/ITEM]





Weapons:

[ITEM]Shadowfang[/ITEM] (Get two of these if possible.)

[ITEM]Battleworn Thrash Blade[/ITEM]

[ITEM]Assassin's Blade[/ITEM]

[ITEM]Wingblade[/ITEM] (Horde Only)

[ITEM]Cruel Barb[/ITEM]

*[ITEM]Scout's Blade[/ITEM]

*[ITEM]Balanced Heartseeker[/ITEM]



**Enchant - +15 Agi/Fiery/Lifestealing/Unholy.



Ranged:

[ITEM]Charmed Ancient Bone Bow[/ITEM]

[ITEM]Upgraded Dwarven Hand Cannon[/ITEM]

[ITEM]Throat Piercers[/ITEM]

[ITEM]Venomstrike[/ITEM]



Enchant (not for Throat Piercers): +2 scope





*A good rogue has a large quantity of weapons for every scenario. I recommend you have two weapons on the list, and one dagger for Ambush. Remember that Ambush goes off of weapon damage, so get a dagger with high weapon damage, not high DPS. Also, for Garrotes you want to use [ITEM]Cruel Barb[/ITEM]x2 enchanted with +15 Agi. on each for max damage, since Garrote scales on AP.



** In my personal opinion no matter what weapons you have I recommend you go with double fiery (unless you get [ITEM]Cruel Barb[/ITEM] & [ITEM]Shadowfang[/ITEM], then you would enchant the SF with Fiery and CB with +15 Agi.). It is arguable whether or not it is the best combination, but it is again personal preference.



4) Professions





Gathering Professions

Until you get your [ITEM]Lucky Fishing Hat[/ITEM], you need to have 150 Engineering. After you get your hat, get Mining and Skinning max level. Until you get your fishing hat you can pick either Mining for Toughness or Skinning for Master of Anatomy to accompany Engineering.

Non-Gathering Professions

Engineering is good for duels and Warsong Gulch because of the bombs.

Yeah, forgot about that change thanks lol

 

[Bansil]

arena set without 3xfang and thrown.

max dmg set not even hitcapped.

15agi MH and LS OH.

FC with shadowfang and thrash, no stam gear but thick bronze neck.

enchant with dodgerating is...no words, get imp stealth instead.

expertise gear not even mentioned.

lets have a second look at:

**Enchant - Main Hand: +15 Agi, Off Hand: Lifestealing.

venomstrike.

(maybe i missed a lot...)



if you are in a town first time and someone asks you for directions, will you tell him that you dont have any clue or will you misslead him?



sry.

 

[cellulite]

arena set without 2xfang and thrown.

the arena set has a ranged weapon, and i fixed it to have dual SF. thanks.

max dmg set not even hitcapped.

what is the hitcap at level 19? i thought it was somewhere from 4-6% for PvP in general. with the max damage gear i have 10 hit which is 5.9% at level 19.

FC with shadowfang and thrash, no stam gear but thick bronze neck.

explain to me then, how the FC set has 300+ more HP then the other sets.

(maybe i missed a lot...)

i think you did.

if you are in a town first time and someone asks you for directions, will you tell him that you dont have any clue or will you misslead him?

depends.





if someone is new to your football team, does that mean he doesnt know anything about football?

 

[Bansil]

if you quote, then do it right. it is 3xfang...it is an armor set.



hitcap is 5% for melee and you need 11rating to cap.

if someone is new to your football team, does that mean he doesnt know anything about football?

nope, but i dont think he should promote himself to be the coach.

 

[cellulite]

if you quote, then do it right. it is 3xfang...it is an armor set.

forgot about the wc set, sorry brah kinda late amirite

hitcap is 5% for melee and you need 11 rating to cap.

10 is 5.9% so



edit: 3xfang bonus is arguable anyway, its all personal preference. but in the gear section there is 3xfang for people who want to use it.

 

[Bansil]

...10 is 5.9% so...

oh shit, all my life i thought 10 rating is just ~4,7% and it needs one more point to get 5%. dmn it, thx for opening my eyes!



...



closed my eyes again. the pink elephants confused me.



----------



sry for fooling around, but you really should mark your guide as draft and gather some more information first.

maybe ask some more experienced 19 rogues to share their opinions. rogues @ 19 are very popular, so there is a need for an up to date guide...if you would like to be the one providing it to the community, go ahead.

 

[elocon]

Lifesteal in offhand and 15 agi in main...

...and one tag for the guide is complete.

Somethings not right here...

fixed, it was late and forgot about the ppm

i havent twinked since 3.0 before the nerf and i was relying on chardev. only now my rogue hit 19 and you're right, i'll get more info and update the guide because some sites i was getting info from (chardev) may be wrong.

 

[Bansil]

you are still wrong on your chardevs + many other things.



enchants for example. a rogue lookin for max dmg/dps/burst should allways go with dual fiery.

LS/fiery for a more defensive setup and LS/agi in melee duells. in no way a rogue will ever use the proc chant in OH with a statchant in MH. dual 15agi is almost only used in RvR and imo LS/agi is still superior here, but thats just me.



your arena setup is using dual SF/agi. thats a HUGE waste of dps. if you are in arena with a healer you will use dual fiery, if not maybe one LS. you will use a thrown weapon, not only a ranged weapon. its cast time is much shorter and you need it to interrupt bandaging/cheetah and keep your target in fight. you are not maxing out agi/stam, which is a waste of vital stats. you are not using 3xfang set which is not only BiS, it also grants 4extra stats (exp).



your FC setup still uses nonstat weapons and a few improper gear choices. you can easily get 120HP more while not gimping your dmg potential too far. btw, no one cares about the dmg a FC deals + a rogue should not FC.



your maxdmg setup is an almost balanced setup with improper gear choices. if you are really goin for max dmg, do it the risky way and gimp stam for it + cap da god dmn hit, even if you do it via hitpot...the max AP/crit setup is not viable in arena anyway.



maybe you want to add an AP set.



maybe you want to add dual CB/agi for garrote and the +wepdmg for daggers (with a CB/agi OH).



long way to go to reach the "complete" and still some steps to provide at least proper information.

 

[Mazurati]

[ITEM]Assassin's Blade[/ITEM] w/ 5 wep dmg and [ITEM]Cruel Barb[/ITEM] w/ 15 agi will get you the most out of garrote/ambush. ([ITEM]Tail Spike[/ITEM] would be next best option).



dual [ITEM]Shadowfang[/ITEM]is debatable but in my in my personal experience, [ITEM]Shadowfang[/ITEM]/[ITEM]Cruel Barb[/ITEM] better.

Dont mess with Bansil. He knows his hit rating.

Don't troll threads if they are fail.

 

[Tonkks]

uhm.. if anyone has any rogue questions at 19, PM me and ill try to help, if you need anything farther than what this guide says.



my 2 cents: duel shadowfang x2 fiery = best combo.
