3.3 and the Level 1 Rogue

Rogue



* Dual Wield: Rogues now know this ability upon logging into the game at level 1.

* Stealth: This ability no longer has multiple ranks. While active, the single rank of this ability (available at level 1) allows rogues to move at 70% movement speed.

* Vanish: For the first second after this ability is used, neither Vanish nor Stealth can be broken by taking damage or being the victim of a hostile spell or ability.



Awesome!

Rogue





* Vanish: Rogues require less thought to play.

i fix-ted it.

Erm, so even if I gouge a stealthed rogue, it won't break stealth?

 

[Spooksters]

lol what cookie? it's only RIGHT after vanish (so it's designed to fix the vanish bug that has been in the game for like 3 years now)

lol that's not a fix it's a dirty workaround.

 

[Spooksters]

lol, true enough But it's the best we're going to get from blizzard

Oh hai there IAT :3

wat .

 

[jailbot]

high level rogues... get less and less fun as blizzard releases patches.

 

[CIHC]

/ponders about making a post-BC private server, around the 2.3 patch...

Best OH wep for rogues now would be?. For the BoA weilders all of the weps have a dps of 6, so I guess it's about what you preffer.



Just realized you can get 15 agi on OH too.. yay back to 60% dodge.



i wont see this patch anyways so

 

[ninedash]

Vanish @ 19?!?!?



maybe in 2 patches

 

[beefy]

I for one am glad for this, simply because it means more options for level 1's. I think perhaps someone at Blizz HQ plays a lvl 1 twink? Maybe?



as boglund said above, BoA weps for rog OH are al 6 dps, but I would think your best bet is the Battleworn Thrash Blade, since it procs an extra hit. thats potentiall 4 hits per attack.

best OH for rogues (non BoA) would now probably be [ITEM]Simple Dagger[/ITEM] since it's exactly same stats as [ITEM]Keen Machete[/ITEM] but the machete is MH only, just because it has highest dps of lvl 1 weps, since proc enchants aren't really viable for OH, getting +15 agi on it is your best bet

 

[Chubtohd]

For BoA - the Sharpened Scarlet Kris (1.5 weapon speed) is best for OH

For nonBoA - the Simple Dagger (1.8 weapon speed 2.5 dps) or possibly (for Belfs) the Sunstrider Dagger (quest reward). It's speed is 1.7 but DPS is 2.1



Slow Main Hand (with Lifestealing) and fast OH (with 15 Agi) = greatest DPS gain in PVP



ps...what's the code to add the wowhead tags?

 

[beefy]

attack skills like Sini and Evis use only the MH? then yeah, agi on offhand for sure.

For Mainhand, use a BoA like Battleworn Thrash Blade with lifestealing, and for OH, Sharpened Scarlet Kris with 15 agi.



Thats the best BoA setup.

15 agi for pve in both hands

 

[beefy]

for PvE, yeah. For PvP, what i wrote up there is probably your best bet. We'll see though, when 3.3 hits Gotta save up emblems for those weapons though
