Making another twink, rogue this time. Need gear ideas.

Potatosoup

Grandfathered
So After faction changing my warrior for gear and stuff I finally finished him off in two weeks. He's fun, and he's my first warrior ever, but Ive come to the point where I miss rogue gameplay. Ive always twinked a rogue, Ive done 19, 39, and 70 over the years and since the 29 bracket is active now I think ill try a 29 rogue.

I'm not traditional though, having twinked all these years I enjoy trying new things. I would like this rogue to be pure AP. I want to try to get the strongest setup possible with one goal in mind, and thats ganking flag carriers. I do not care about survivability. I want to sit in stealth and pick my targets and take them out asap, even if its a suiside misson. I would like some imput on what gear would suit these needs as well as enchants. The only piece of gear I won't be able to obtain is gloomshroud armor for chest as there's no way in hell I can afford that, as well as the blackvenom blade. Other that those items, I would like some BIS ideas and secondary items to replace those if they are indeed best in slot.

Ive also wondered after seeing some players using lvl 19 blues and low 20 blues claiming that these items scale better in bg's than thier higher item level counterparts...whats the deal with this?

Also, I really want to go assassination or sub, not combat. Ive hated combat since I started in BC with my first rogue, and that has not changed. I play assassination on my main and I can't stand a rogue not using daggers, it just does not seem to fit the idea of a rogue to me.

Any help with these questions would be greatly apprecated! Race is also a question. I chose human for the versitality boost but it's really low, and I think other races active racials may be more useful in bg's. Such as dwarfs stoneform, or a night elfs shadowmeld since they took vanish away from 24 and made it require level 34, which sucks!!!!
 
Hate to tell you, but i doubt you are going to stealth in, and instantly gank a flag carrier with one shot. That is a sub rogue play style, and sub has been nerfed badly, just as all rogues have, but sub got it the worst. Remember, you won't be playing vs a lot of failtarded noobie assed kids running in start zone whites, you will be running vs other twinks. But, if you get lucky and find the FC alone, if you get enough AP stacked, you might manage a 3 shot AA+E combo. (ambush, ambush, evicerate)

And a note about end game pvp.. SUB ROGUES GOT BUGGERED in the bumhole. Even the conquest set bonus sucks. Feint? WTF is feint? Real rogues don't feint. As far as feint and multistrike go, sub rogues have CoS and are very unlikely to want to be out of stealth long enough to proc a weak assed multistrike.
 
ALso, how are you guys figuring out what an item scales to? Are you just aquiring it then entering an arena/bg with it and checking then or are you fguring it out an easier way first?
 
Eleforce, alliance, night elf, get some crit and versatility, your golden sub our assassination for hellafast attacks °3°
 
Imo that head isnt really viable for rogues as youre already down at about 3k hp going under 2.8k feels abit off for me alteast, even tho i love glasscannon gear :d
Rather use eye-patch/boa

but where do you draw the line? Loom vs Troll Bane's leggings is 7 stam 7 crit 6 haste vs 5 agi in which people gladly use troll bane's
eyepatch vs 13 agi head is 5 agi vs 11 stam 8 crit, but there it's going too far? If you are using eyepatch use loom legs aswell
OP asked for an AP set, in which 13 agi head would be BiS

I draw the line when im under 3k hp, same goes for my hunter, on which i use Sliter on since i get stam on my gun now. I dont think crit is doing well atm for rogues so i use boa head instead =) would trade 4 agility for 13 stam, putting me on 2.7k hp
 
i was under the impression that minor speed still stacked? could be wrong tho

Minor speed enchant stacks with cloak enchant, but the speed from the boots dont work. So using 10 agi 7 stam boots with minor speed would be more beneficial
