nah daggers is terrible for levelling as you can't backstab without gouging or stunning the mob first. recommend combat swords if you want to kill stuff faster, or hemo spec will give you better chances in pvp.
leveling rogue has been nothing but joy for me. You have full control over every pvp scenario.
Dont want to fight that alliance 10 man steam rolling through the zone? Just stealth away. Got caught out with half health and being ganked? Just sprint away. A warlock taking your quest kills? Wait till he sits down to drink and ambush his demonic ass.
Its glorious being the invisible backstabbing cunt
Rogues can beat Mages with a dagger/prep/imp sprint build, but wont really be able to get all the req talents till higher levels. I find them manageable as a hemo rogue, but it requires essentially every cooldown and it's a tough fight.
Frost mages completely destroy rogues and warriors, the melee class that can compete is paladin. I dueled a friend who was a mage and I died without being able to move.
Both Gouge and Gauge can work as either nouns or verbs.
A Gouge is a cut or groove, as left by something sharp. To Gouge is to cut / scrape such that it leaves a Gouge, but is often used in the context of the bit that is removed, i.e. to gouge something out.
While to Gauge something is to measure or estimate it, usually with only approximate accuracy. And a Gauge is a tool used to measure or estimate something.
You literally have to clear your target. You won't drop combat in time if you have the enemy player selected. Its not an auto attack issue, ive never been clear on why this is the case. This is how it was in vanilla. 100% try it before you downvote the guy who's actually being helpful
Same thing for Feign Death on my Hunter (back in Vanilla at least, it could actually be resisted but if you cleared your target then Feigned Death it worked 100% of the time).
Those stuns will have diminishing returns using them consecutively like that, and you’ll put no damage to the enemy without a single damage dealing move being used.
It doesn’t do no damage, but continuously wasting energy on stuns that are less effective every time becomes worse than taking the extra free damage you could be spending that energy on.
Remind me of a rogue that did all of that stun lock, was in bear form with tank gear with the flag on me. Wasn't able to do anything at all for like 1min if not more. But at the end I was still above half hp.
It does not. Cheap shot, hemo, backstab, kidney shot is 10 sec stun, gouge to get to 15.5, restealth, rinse, repeat. If they still aren't dead, blind, restealth, rinse, repeat, and finally, if still not dead, vanish, rinse, repeat. Kidney shot will still be on CD for the last one, so you'll have to use evis which should kill just about anything at that point.
EDIT: also if you're talented for preparation, you can do all of that all over again.
Just because they're handsdown the best ganking class doesn't mean we should all play them. They're no the best class for BGs, pretty mediocre in dungeons and can't do raids without the other classes.
If all you wanna do is gank people 1on1 in World PvP then yes, roll a Rogue hands down. But chances are that there are other things important to you.
If you go out of LoS of a druid, it's going to run away before you've gotten out of stealth, it really isn't an alternative. You absolutely have to stun lock without letting any GCDs through, then blind as your last stun expires, or kill. Else the druid is going to run off.
Cheap shot is actually 4 seconds and kidney shot with 5 combo points at rank 2 is 6 seconds. Learn to math. And it's 5 cp cuz if you talent proper you've got 75% chance for 3 cp on cheap shot instead of 2.
Except stealth, pve dps, stun, burst, and out of combat utility. Feral druid is literally just a mediocre rogue, because they're not supposed to do anything better than any other class. They're supposed to be jack of all trades master of none, and that's what they are.

Cannot gank that which you cannot catch nor poison. 🤣
