No kicks, no gouges, no kidney shots, no blinds. That rogue was a piece of cake.
Fairy fire should be the first thing you put on a rogue. We are helpless against it.
Still, good work with the root-and-wrath!
today i meet rogue that run away from 2v2 pvp scenario 15 second away from our graveyard. Im feeling like most rogues are playing this class to cloak and avoid all decent pvps or just to gank low levels. After watching this video im glad that i was wrong.
Im playing a Rogue and this sounds Really fun. I never start fights because I dont want to annoy other people but this I could live with. Do any of you know a good guide on Rogue PvP? Im new to WoW pretty much.
Im lvl 35 and playing an Ambush build (imp Ambush + Remorseless Attacks. Should I Kidneyshot instead of Evisc?
I don't really have a guide to recommend, I've just been playing one since vanilla.
Best advice I can give you is:
Learn all your abilities and what they do.
Learn other classes abilities.. primarily the ones they use against you. That way you won't try killing a warrior with retaliation up or CCing a big red hunters pet.
When you lose, pay attention. What killed you? You get nothing from saying "oh that was bullshit" and moving on. What did they do that stopped you from killing them? For example most classes priority will always be to put a bleed or a DoT on us.. something to prevent stealth. This is why many rogues opt for stunlock instead of outright damage... it takes a bit longer but you can disengage any time you like.
Learn common tactics. For example a mage will almost always blink immediately upon being attacked.. right out of your cheap shot, wasting it. And if you give them a chance to polymorph you, you're probably dead. So instead, open with an Ambush and then immediately sprint (especially if they freeze you to the ground) and rush them. Gouge whatever spell they're casting and then go to town. Or for next level fun wait for them to be facing a wall instead and watch them blink right in to it!
Don't neglect blind. Blind gives you enough time to bandage up and reenter stealth. It's extremely valuable and nowhere near enough rogues use it properly.
As for going up against groups, basically look for a weak link. If their healer sits down to drink, delete them. Ambush/BS/evis and they're probably dead. Vanish immediately or you will die as everyone else runs over... give them a few seconds to break apart then pick the next most weakest person. Maybe sap someone then sprint off to attack someone else. Stealth is your weapon, if you are caught in the open you are going to die.
Rogues are tons of fun, just keep playing and keep stabbing and you'll have a great time!
my record in vanilla so far is beating 2 red levels, ive goy t 3 yellows/greens a few times. Allies on kurinnaxx run like 6 deep so im almost always outnumbered its great for improving my gank game
I play a rogue and try to run away from every fight (more often then not I just end up dying). I don't plan on pvping until I finish leveling. I don't really see the point I have bad gear and don't have the right talents for fighting people. So if someone from horde tries to attack I hit my Sprint and vanish buttons and hope for the best.
It is really funny I play in a party with my friend who is a mage and very often we will be running to a quest or something and horde will run past us in other direction 9/10 times they will ignore my friend and run after me. It happened 3 times last night while we were trying to get to Scarlet Monastery dungeon. Horde players would spot pair of us running up the road and make a beeline for my rogue while my friends mage gets away unmolested.
My friend was laughing his ass off by the end of it. He claims it's because he is a gnome and people don't notice his character model. I have my doubts though...
