29 Twink Rogue Guide

Hey-





I'm writing this guide up for the community, and as a request by Rares.



I'll be covering spec, race, profs, glyphs, a typical gear setup, and some alternative weapon options, as well as some 'tricks of the trade'- the things i've seen the best rogues on bloodlust do.



Gear



Head: Pathfinder Hat of the Monkey- 9/9 Stats with +8 agility enchant(Libram of Voracity)



Neck: Sentinel's Medallion



Shoulders: Forest Tracker Epaulets: + Might of the Scourge Enchant if possible.



Back: Parachute Cloak: +12 Agility, Tigerstrike Mantle: Increased Stealth



Chest: Raptor Hunter Tunic: +6 Stats



Wrist: Emissary Cuffs of the Monkey: +9 Stamina/Archer's Bracers of Power:+9 Stamina



Gloves: Razzeric's Racing Grips: +15 Hit Rating



Belt: Highlander's Leather Girdle



Leggings: Petrolspill Leggings: Nethercleft Leg Armor



Boots: Highlander's Leather Boots: +7 Stamina



Rings: Deadman's Hand/Protector's Band/Charged Gear of the Monkey



Trinkets: Insignia of the Alliance/Medallion of the Horde+ AGM/Gnomish Net'O'Matic



Weapons: Torturing Poker MH: +5 Weapon Damage/Vendetta:+15 Agility



Ranged: Throat Piercers



Additional Weapon Options: (Horde)-Skullbreaker: +Mongoose

(Both)- Zealot Blade: +15 Agility (Not Reccomended)







Race




ALLIANCE:



Gnome: Escape Artist is a great talent for arena. This talent creates for three ways to remove slows on a 29 rogue without using any consumables or outside buffs. Strong option, and free 15 Engineering points allow for a nice goblin charging helmet as well.



Night Elf: Free vanish. Great for losing pet aggro, or dropping target from a hunter to get a few free bandage ticks.



Human: Two trinkets. Net+AGM, AGM+Shrink Ray, Shrink Ray+AGM, BoA trinkets, much more versatile and typically survivable.



Horde:



Orc: Blood Fury is a great arena burst spell. Awesome for duels.



Undead: Will of the Forsaken. Nuff' Said.



Troll: Berserking speed buff? Awesome for hittin' on a healer.



Tauren: See Link



Blood Elf: Arcane Torrent- Wish I had it. Darn horde get all the good stuff.



Talents:



Typical Backstab



Arena Survival Backstab



Sword/Mace



Glyphs:



Glyph of Backstab: Obvious Choice for major.



Glyph of Vanish:Yet again obvious-best option for minor.





TRICKS OF THE TRADE:







  • Always use Mind-Numbing. No Matter the Circumstance.

    When facing casters, ALWAYS save energy for a kick/gouge interrupt.

    Use vanish offensively, and sprint defensively.

    Win

    Faceroll

    :D





Anything else you need, please post. Your welcome Rares!



PS: 20 Minute Guide-NEW RECORD!
 
Throat Piercers are better for arena. Thrown>ranged



And AP wrists easily better over the agi on serra'kis for backstab
 
figured i would clean this up a bit for new patch etc. ima make this a new post i guess.

which of the specs listed is best for BGs as a 29 rogue twink?
 
You can lose the Amulet of Truesight, but put Lesser Accuracy to your boots, over all you sacrifice about 30 HP but you get a little bit more from putting Sentinel's Medallion in its place.
 
I've been thinking of making a 29 twink rogue for a while now and this guide really helps. But what I'm wondering is, is the torturing poker really the best option. It has high DPS but that is the weapon's dps added with the fire dmg effect. The dps of the weapon w/o the fire dmg is 22.06. And since the fire dmg isnt added in for multiplier effects (such as ambush and backstab) does that still make this weapon superior to others?



I was just wanting to know if you had considered that before i go farming for it.

Took me 70 runs to get it. :mad:
 
For legs you should get [ITEM]Triprunner Dungarees[/ITEM] and for mainhand dagger you should consider [ITEM]http://www.wowhead.com/?item=2912[/ITEM] instead of the poker. The poker is good n stuff since it can hit through blessing of protection, but in the claw has higher damage. If you want hit rating the [ITEM]Balanced heartseeker[/ITEM] is quite good as well.
