The Rogue class is great for any player who really enjoys brutal combat. In fact Rogue is an excellent Melee DPS class, and well suited for this play style. I’ll introduce the Rogue’s talents and strengths in the WoW Rogue guide.
Let’s begin by looking at the Rogue’s strengths.
- High DPS: This single quality makes the Rogue really dangerous in Melee.
- Stealth: This allows the Rogue to sneak up on enemies without being easily detected.
- Fantastic PvP Class: Rogue are on of the best PvP classes in Warcraft. It important to have the right gear to stay alive and be effective especially the Resilience attribute.
Now let’s turn our attention in the WoW Rogue guide to the Rogue’s weaknesses.
- Target in PvP: They are often the primary target in PvP because of their dangerous reputation.
- Damage Ratio: When you’re dual weilding the damage ratio of the off hand weapon is reduced.

You’ll have much more fun if you choose the right talent build based on your own playing styles. Tha’t what we look at next in the WoW Rogue Guide. The talent builds fit into 3 categories as follow.
- Assassination: The build I’ll talk about is called the Mutilate build.
- Combat: I’ll talk specifically about Combat Swords.
- Subtlety: Here we’ll look at the Subtlety build.
The Mutilate build is based on dagger and poison, which is absolutely essential. One weakness of this build is that the enemy may either be immune to the poison or have the ability to somehow heal from it. The following is a list of some excellent talents to have.
- Mutilate: Instant 2 handed attack
- Hunger for Blood: This causes you to become enraged and cause more damage.
- Improved Poison: This is an essential talent
- Master Poisoner: Increases critical chance of your attack by 3%
- Vile Poisoner: Increase damage of poison and Envenom ability
- Dual Wield Specialization: Another essential talent
For high, sustained DPS choose the Combat Swords build. Sinister Strike is an absolutely essential thing to have for this build. Some additional talents to have are as follows.
- Duel Wield Specialization
- Killing Spree
- Improved Slice and Dice
- Blade Flurry
- Blade Twisting
- Surprise Attacks
The Subtlety build takes advantage of the Rogue’s unique stealth abilities. The following list contain other good talents to have.
- Honor Among Thieves
- Premeditation
- Preparation
- Sinister Calling
- Initiative
- Elusiveness
I won’t go any deeper in the WoW Rogue guide into leveling or the talents themselves but one thing to remember is that the talent builds lend themselves to your unique playing style so choose wisely.
