Worgen or Night Elf Rogue?

[Executioner]

Hey all, I've decided the next class I want to play is rogue, I get that rogues are OP right now, and I usually avoid the FoTM classes, but I want a character just for derping around in bgs and having fun. But I'm having trouble deciding between night elf and worgen. I like both races and their racials, as the worgen ability gives more mobility, something rogues have always needed (lack of gap-closers have kept me from making one for a while). However, Shadowmeld can act as the old vanish did, which can get me back in stealth if things go bad, as long as I don't get hit. It seems like this could be tough to use, since projectiles already coming at me will end stealth. Which do you prefer as a rogue? (Think I'll go sub, and get swiftness pot if I can).

They both are based upon your playstyle, but if you can get hold of swiftness pots go nightelf. Female is Bis! Males are nasty lookin

nelf.

All about playstyle. Dont overlook gnome rogues though they are huntard killers with their racial unroot. Also if you like the look and mechanics of night elf, you can get a little blue item from a vendor in azshara called kalythas locket.

Definetly Nelf. +5% speed while stealther and you can also shadowmeld to escape attackers and cause an second/third ambush !!

NELF. Stealth up and ambush again. 5 % more crit.

Night Elf: Use Shadow focus for double ambush or Subterfuge to counter attack when energy full

 

[Sithid]

NELF for sure, that vanish is so clutch!

undead!

Night Elf for high base agility, OPmeld and extra dodge.....and the movement speed buff.

I'd say Night Elf..

Gnomes are one of those races I simply cannot bring myself to play (along with pandaren), they just feel like comic relief to me and I don't really like that feeling for a character

Orc female.

Well, I would certainly be unique, I haven't seen an orc female....well.... anything really. Can't member last time I saw one in the bracket.

Looks like the majority are saying night elf, but how quickly does smeld drop combat? If I manage to LoS say a paladin whos about to kill me, how fast can I get into stealth again? Any macros work that speed this up?

Nelf IMO vanish ftw !

/cleartarget
/stopattack
/cast [combat] Shadowmeld(Racial); !Stealth

Just tried this macro, and I can't seem to get it to work. My rogue says everything after "/stopattack" even after I tried removing a lot of the complexity. Am I missing something in the macro I need to add?

I fixed the macro for the smeld/stealth, and although I have to press it twice, it drops combat pretty quickly. Thanks everyone for the advice.
