Mining/Engineering provides additional stuns plus damage burst, and gives you another safety with Target Dummy. Plus rogues utilize most of the stat buffs very well. It gives you consistent access to rogue-specific items: Thistle Tea and Blinding Powder (made from Swiftthistle and Fadeleaf) which is required us to Blind enemies. Herbalism/Alchemy is the most popular profession combo for rogues, and for good reason.

Cooking is nice to get to at least 60 for Thistle Tea (and access to cooking quests while leveling). This isn’t just for between mobs, but to bandage while an enemy is Gouged too. Professionsįirst, secondary professions: First Aid is a must-have as rogue! Always keep up with this, and never get caught lacking on bandages. With Adrenaline Rush at 40, rogue becomes very adept at taking down Elite quests at-level. Once you have poisons (typically 22 or later), always coat your weapons! Double Instant Poison is my go-to, but if you’re fighting mobs that run away, or plan to kite some strong enemies, it’s nice to have a stack of Crippling Poison in your bags to swap to.Īt 30 you get Blade Flurry and can handle bigger camps - especially when paired with Evasion to not even worry about taking so many hits at once. It also disarms the target for 6 seconds, on a 6 second CD, meaning you have the potential to disarm mobs multiple times in a row, making things very easy. The drawback is that you can only use it after parrying an attack, but after putting 5 points in Deflection, it happens more than you might think. It is a high damage smack for only 10 energy. You also get it at 22 with our talent build. Riposte is one of the best solo abilities in the game. Once we get Vanish at 22, you have a huge safety net that can get you out of most sticky situations if you ever make a mistake. We can turn multipacks into 1v1s by doing things like opening with Sap on one, Blind and/or Gouge on another, and then working on the third. Your expansive toolkit lets you form lots of crafty plays, allowing you to take on otherwise very dangerous situations with ease. We bring tons of CC to the table, and only get stronger as we level. Rogue has a huge breadth of useful abilities in hardcore. Fill out the rest of the points shown, then we’ll be respec’ing at either 29 or 30, whenever you go to your trainer. We then rush down to Deflection and get Riposte as soon as possible, picking up Imp SS and Imp Gouge along the way - the extra 1.5 sec on Gouge can save your life in an escape, or when needing some extra time to bandage midfight. This lowers killtimes quite a bit, and ends up with us taking less damage because of it. Though we are Combat, we actually start with 2 points in Remorseless Attacks in the Assassination tree, giving us a massive chance to crit the first ability on every mob, assuming we’re managing our downtime well. Undead rogues are good for utilizing Cannibalize mid-combat with Gouge, as a generally larger heal than a bandage, but it isn’t super impactful, and their other racials don’t add much to your kit in a hardcore setting. Berserking is also powerful.Īs an Orc, Blood Fury is a solid damage boost, especially when combined with your other cooldowns. Trolls are the quickest and safest levelers because of their combat-regeneration passive, allowing you to have less downtime between pulls. Night Elves don’t bring anything notable to the table - their improved stealth is irrelevant. Human racials don’t add much to your leveling toolkit though. If you don’t go Human, you are usually pigeonholed into being Daggers at 60. Humans are your best endgame choice because of their Sword Specialization passive. Their racial abilities can save you from various situations - Stoneforming off bleeds or poisons and getting back into stealth without worrying about it breaking, or Escape Artist to get you out of a root/slow and run away. Best races Allianceĭwarves and Gnomes are comparable as the safest Alliance levelers. Their evasion ability can also help them avoid damage and buy time to heal up, making it easier for them to survive while levelling up to 60. Additionally, they have a variety of crowd control abilities like sap and blind, which can be used to take on enemies one at a time, reducing the risk of being overwhelmed. They can also solo difficult quests and elites with ease, making them a great choice for players looking to tackle challenging content on their own. Their ability to stealth past enemies and pick their battles can help them level up quickly with minimal downtime. They have a unique toolkit that makes them ideal for solo play and capable of dealing massive burst damage in group play. Rogues are a great choice for players tackling the Hardcore challenge in World of Warcraft Classic.
