well, let's just say i was theory crafting a lot before without realizing that this game changed SO MUCH since 3.2, when i last played at 49.



most of the points i brought up are still valid, although after playing 3 wsg's on the last day of february, i think i will spec in a new way.



Best Rogue Spec for 49



1, ambush is important, maximize it, 10 yard, snare, (a), people at this level have 0 res(including yourself), it's a bursty scenario. (b), you have no cloak of shadow so you don't stay alive very long once out of stealth. and in general, you don't get to re-stealth unless you vanish.



2, recuperate is over-rated, in order to maximize recuperate, you have to spend 3 points in energetic recovery and 2 more points in honor among thieves, 5 points for something you probably won't even get to use for the same reason as 1(a), (b).



3, another reason for 2/2 waylay? use a fast offhand, put crippling on it, this way your mainhand can use wound it pretty much increases your ambush damage by *whatever your wound poison proc is* because at 2.6 the proc chance is like 93%.
 
whoa you finally realized you were wrong?!

10 yard ambush is a waste.



care to elaborate? i find 10 yard ambush a necessity considering my slightly higher than average ping...

A necessity for you... maybe not to the general population. I've never used it, and it has never been an issue for me (75% of my openers are Garrote anyway).

You don't need it to get ambushes and the evis glyph is much better.
 
well, sometimes smart hunters stand right on top of flare(i am sure you do that a lot balroy) and the only way to open is a 10 yard ambush....

Or jump at em and ambush before you land like every other rogue does.
 
easier said than done...we can all be pvp heroes on paper...and what if shadowstep isn't up?

Not that hard to Shadowstep and open, it would be if you're lagging. And if it's not up.. well you wait until it is? Or use other CDs to catch the hunter.
