what's with eviscerate crunching low level mobs?
@broken pollen Depends on if you're using SS or not
Sword Spec*
It'll be a very large amount if you ignore it
And you are
if you really dont wanna deal with it, pick another weapon spec
what's the swing timer stuff?
sword spec extra swings
they consume your next auto attack and therefore set the time before the next one to full
so sinister strike right after your main hand hits?
pretty much
damn gotta have spiderman reflexes
i need macro that does sinister strike .01 sec after my MH swing
so how the hell does rogue make big gold
i was gonna farm devilsaur leather on my lock but i swaitched to rogue. rogue can not solo devilasuars
Updated my Combat Swords WA - would love some feedback if anyone is interested in trying it out for a bit. ♥
boxboxboxboxbox
anyone know of an addon that restocks flash powder or poison reagents, or just reagents in general upon visiting a vendor?
got it to work with TSM
im hearing some people say PP was nerfed from actual vanilla not just pservers
if thats true that's BS, nerf lock/hunter solo'ing elites fo gold too
If you're comparing numbers from private to retail you shouldn't take it as abject truth.
yeah im not sure if they are certain its just random reddit posts. i need someone trying on live but im 2 low lvl
err classic
pickpocketing wasnt worth shit in vanilla. never was.
is weapon damage the sole factor in determining main hand? or if you have a way higher dps weapon is that better in MH even if its a bit lower weapon damage?
Anyone ahve any good weapon swap macros? I can make one to swap weapons in bag slot but I have a tendency to spam buttons so it swaps over and over. Trying to find a way to stop that
@broken pollen I soloed the devilasuars back in vanilla with no issue. Not going tribe tho, going for elemental this time
p;lo8k+/
this one seems ok
#showtooltip
/startattack
/cast Sinister Strike
so you auto attack even if ur energy starved
Any other things to keep in mind other than trying to Sinister right after MH swings with sword spec?
dont spam out energy since interrupt costs energy 😉
new rogues have to learn, that if your energy is not overflowing you are not losing dps
Any1 have a working expose armor cancel attack macro? Please share
does that sinister strike macro work with backstab as well? @wooden vale
not sure, i'd assume so
np, it's pretty much just making sure you resume autoattacking after you cast right?
@mighty burrow it does.
mainly for when you're switching to a new target
so instead of standing there doing nothing
it will either SS or auto
awesome, tyvm
@mighty burrow Auto attack will start as soon as you use a spell. But if you change target without enery you cant use your ability = autoattack wont start, thats why you use this macro.
exactly
oh okay i understand
@wooden vale do you happen to know the expose armor stop attack macro? I can't seem to get mine working for classic.
do it like we did back in the day
expose armor from a really shallow angle
the radius for special attacks is wider than autos
@somber hawk yea I know how to do that, but i prefer not needing to
nah
why do you want to stopattack after expose ?
So I can cast expose armor within qouge/sap without breaking cc
I remember thing with Garrot being that using angle was the only way not to break sap back when that was a thing
well, maybe not the only, but go to
aa was around 170 degree, special attack 180?
Yea you can use the angle with expose to. But I prefer using the macro. I know it exists.
I just dont know how to make it work for 1.13 client
/cast expose /stopattack doesn't work ?
no
Anyone here from Kirtonos?
anyone know how close daggers and swords are in dmg, mc/bwl?
What’s best professions for rogues?
Eng for the added burst
swords are better leveling daggers are better late game/pvp if im correct
for the rogue class quest
at lvl 20
do i need high stealth level?
the mob keep detecting me
even though im behind him
is this a good leveling guide? https://www.icy-veins.com/wow-classic/classic-rogue-leveling-guide
i said no to a person that asked me to unlock a 225 lockbox for 3 Sil. am i cheap or is he?
it says to level with swords and then use daggers when in a dungeon is that about right?
^
apparently you should equip daggers though when in a dungeon
for ambush and backstab damage being beter?
why
porbably not no
depends how deep you are specced into combat I guess
but you blast through dungeons anyway
wowhead guide
Does anyone have a macro for pickpocketing on an opener?
Is there a decent lockpicking guide?
Idk how good this one is considering mine is only like 140 but it worked for me so far. Do keep in mind that on the guide the 75-110 lockboxes are reversed on horde side, so the 75+ ones are outside the mine not inside.
If you didn't do poison quest yet you can get it up to 125 for free by just deleting the item and re-opening it aswell.
I dumbass did that quest before realizing that I can level my lockpicking
The comments on it say you can go back and just use the lockpick spell to pick the lock
Haven’t tested though
Hi, so I hit level 50 and wanted to start my classquest "A Simple Request", but none of the npcs who are supposed to hand out the quest have it. What am I doing wrong or what am I missing? Thanks in advance.
Oh wow that makes me even dumber, I did the lockpicking at stonetalon
how do i wield swords i went to weapon trainer there is no sword option
@verbal tiger The Sword Trainer is in Stormwind
they're not all the same?
no, every weapon trainer teaches something else
oh...
for horde you got swords at UC and maces at TB
i spent way too much time figuring that out the other day when a mace dropped in WC i could use
I wrote macros for every single ability
LUL
/cast "mount"
/dismount
doesn't work?
does anyone know the expose armor macro without auto attacking?
@night loom
From what I see, the lvl 50 class quests aren't in this phase. Not sure which phase they will be in either. Maybe phase 5 with the tier 0.5 armor?
i'm just super sad my azeroth auto pilot stopped working
Yeah mine broke around level 15 disabled it and have been using questie only now
i got to 24 somewhere in stonetalon. it just disappears haha. installed questie but that arrow guiding me was truly magical
anyone knowing about a site where i can check all the sets with different races?
the bad thing about
using swords to level is that by the time you reach 60, your dagger proficiency would be low
then you gonna have to level those again
im thinking to just use sword/dagger to level but i'm not sure if its as good as swords/swords
its fine unless you use sword specialization
what was the argument for using ss at the end of a white swing?
saw a discussion a while ago here
you use it right after you swing when you have sword specialization
ah, why?
i believe it involves getting your swing timer reset, or it's to potentially get an extra swing after the SS, or a combination of both
Sword spec procs reset swing timer so you dont want to reset it with SS right before your auto
@shadow tapir ah gotcha
So Im pretty new to rogue pvp. Using this build https://classicdb.ch/?talent#fhe0RxkZhZxMe0cGRo or basically any of the 60 pvp builds I was just wondering how you avoid being kited by hunters/mages wothout improved sprint
imp sprint isn't a requirement, you can win 1v1's with those classes without it
also, you can have a pvp build that goes into imp sprint
e.g dagger pvp
for which cb is pretty much a waste
I see. Might look into going for the dagger spec then. Still wanna play around with cb evis while its still in the early phases
Dagger spec is fun for big hits on clothies with ambush and backstabs lol
CB is fun but the 3m cooldown makes it pretty meh outside of it. for 1v1 and world stuff it's a blast
I’m not sure if I want to focus pve or pvp yet so idk what I’ll want to build later, but combat is fun atm... anyone close to my lvl or even 4-5 lvls higher I can best bc SS hits so hard lol...
I’m 33 and was beating a 40 lock lastnight that tried ganking me
1 SS crit would do like 30% of his life haha
It’s even more fun when another rogue tries ganking you... and they are a true classic garbonzo player and you beat them when they are a few higher lol
[Vanquisher's Sword]MH [Sword of Serenity] OH
pretty bad right?
what do i loose if OH is slow too?
4.5 lvls and I'm going hemo until dagger pvp at 60. that's my overall plan so far
I use to love hemo back in vanilla, I loves mace stun build to
May go a blended mace stun / hemo type for shits and gigs
i'm leveling on a pvp server and want to do roguey things from the shadows
I’m on pvp server and don’t even stealth lol just walk up and whop em with SS and they fall over... UD bis race in classic imo... locks and priest just can’t handle it
lol my first attempt at a sap/pickpocket and dude RP creeps. gtfo.
no more sneeaky for me. Whoppem in the face.
I just like moving faster in stealth, sapping to kill mobs that are close, stuff like that
Yea I miss sap and not coming out of stealth but eh combat so strong lvling
lol at 5man boss damage.
Ill blame the +hit on higher level mobs, cause that was over and over again.
I get dunked on during AOE, but the ST is silly.
that'll happen when our only aoe is a 2m cd you have to spec into 🤣
i'm not sure how much pve i'm going to be doing. instances while leveling here and there but i'm not sure I'm ready to be doing 40m raids again
finally got my gurubashi grand master quest done last night 😎
@vocal hornet https://i.imgur.com/CZX2PYb.png
got both - leggins and gauntlets.. some big money incoming :D
What lvl are you @stoic cairn I’m tryin to rush to get to farming those patterns to... 210 LW waiting on thick leather lol... only lvl 33 tho
59 1/2
Nice get it today!
dayum, i'm lvl 25 and my herb/alch are atrocious
should have went skinning/leather I think but I wanted to be able to farm that fade leaf/swiftthistle
I’ll say LW is the easiest to lvl....
I was stuck in that end game mind set
Bc basically every mob is your materials
LW would have been great for leveling
LW is bis for pre raid items and shit is what I heard bc the devilsaur so I went that
yeah, I went with oh i'll replace it raiding and won't need it that long
Money was on my mind to, bc there will always be fresh 60s wanting starting gear haha
meanwhile I can't even herb kingsblood or anything else outside of the barrens
and can't make better than lesser healing potions 🤣
Lol! Get to farming
this thing called work, really getting in the way
your work is in azeroth now
anyone know why classic aura durations/lib classic durations arent on Twitch? cant seem to find them for the life of me
or is it built into omni cc or something? cause i can find omni cc but not either of the other two.
that addon is such a godsend
I can find it on curseforge, but not twitch addon. its odd as hell.
omni cc pops up, everything else pops up
but not the durations
really strange.
What is the best Horde Rogue Racial for both Pvp and Pve ?
🔮
Before i get Sword Specialization , does it matter if i have a dagger or sword in my off hand?
Human if it chnages it
daggers are usually faster,so prolly more poison procs,other than that not sure if it matters
@jade bobcat
https://shadowpanther.net/races.htm

i mean
i have 4 daggers
and need to know best of the 2 to use
all considred BSI at my lv
torturing poker, meteor shard, toxic revenger, and swinetusk shank
Highest DMG MH, best stats+speed OH.
that sounds like
some twink ass shit
how do I change my name only in this channel
How useful is LW at early levels? I picked up skinning and herbalism since they seemed like easy moneymakers early on.
You close your eyes and imagine a different name.

What level are you?
taking donations 
Depends on what training you mean.
Lads&lladettes, do we want deadly poison in MH or OH? in conjunction with instant poison
Never Deadly.
no? double insta?
miz I mean whatever race you are mount training
guys i downloaded real mob health but it doesnt show the hp on the frame
any addons that shows hp in frame
?
best gold making method for rogue?
@drowsy phoenix Yeah it's 72+18
hey guys is it worth using SS during leveling i feel like its a dps loss
what else u gonna do with ur energy?
SS and vis
...
it worth saving matts for helm of fire while lvling?
@broken pollen as u start leveling make sure to pickpocket humanoids if you're opening with an ambush. Other than that same as other classes. Just play ah and gathering professions.
Sell all greens on ah even if it's just a couple silver more than it would vendor for. Only time you wouldn't post is if the current lowest post for the item is not greater than the cost of vendoring+ah fee
O _O
So if there's ppm on poisons why does it matter if your OH is slow or not?
or fast rather
Because weapon speed in proc formula isn't normalized and a faster weapon will net you more procs.
So do you think Sword of Serenity or Speedsteel Rapier for OH?
FIERY WAR AX
Vendor for 2g oooor... hmmm...
peepo
SoS is 2.2 30 dps SSR is 28.7dps 1.8 speed but has 8 agil so probably better
for OH anyways
stats and faster for poison procs so likely
guy teabagged me after
yeah just proc windfury twice on the same attack
then pretend like i got outplayed 
eh WF Weapon is +2 attacks after... some level... I think always actually.
ye R1 is +2
¯_(ツ)_/¯

Should also work, though you would have to update the ranks according to your current ranks.
Nope, Poisoner doesn't work as is.
thanks
anyone know how to say go to retail as horde to ally 
lol
regens just a tad faster
blinding powder is from fadeleaf, flash powder is just vendor or pickpocket boxes
for rogues is strength = 1 point of attack power?
yes
You can get blinding powder aswell from pickpocketing mobs, sometimes it drops out of the lockboxes you can get from them
@verbal tiger rogue stuff vendor
thanks, also is it like a one time use thing? will it disappear after i use it
fuck, where should I go quest....
im like 32, should I go to Stranglethorn Vietnam, Southshore in Hillsbrad, Desolace, Stromgarde keep in Arathi...
im on a PvE server so im not worried about the trees speaking orcish
just take one and quest until they get to hard, then go to the next
guess you have to visit at least 2 or 3 on your way to 40
you get the tools from doing the lock pick rogue quest, it's free
how do i make a macro that swaps between two different commands each click I do?
I want to make a macro for my classic lock
with /petattack and /petfollow
in one
but idk how
or if its even possible
i'm not sure, but if I remember they would have to go in order so you'd always have to alternate them. I usually just set it up as 2 action slots with 2 keybinds, but make one of them a shift modifier
found something, might this work?
/petfollow [target=pettarget,exists]
/petfollow [target=pettarget,noexists]
/petattack [@target]
that macro seems to work if I dont have a target when i want to pull it back
I only wear it for the mog. Already have better stuff at the same lvl
but my group was excited for me to get it. So i put it on.
Hi, I am maining rogue in classic and have very little experience with the class. I am going combat swords. I plan to raid, but I would also like to learn pvp. Is combat viable for pvp if I want to succeed? Or do I have to go a dagger build to be competitive?
while lvling you can totally do well in world pvp as combat, but at 60 the more bursty or rush down builds will be better
Can those build use swords?
How hard is it to switch specs often in classic?
very expensive.
it runs up to 50g. as a Priest I would flip holy to shadow and back. Thats 100g
Is there a build that is very powerful for pvp and pve
rogues probably wont have to switch nearly as often though
I have been learning combat and I enjoy the spec, but people keep telling me I cant pvp in that spec
you can make it work, but it's not the best option for sure
there's not much of a dual purpose spec until seal fate really
you can be either the best pvp spec, the best pve spec, or a combination of both but they will not be the best
there isn't a way to be top dog in both at the same time, spec wise
Understandable
yeah, it sucks 
i'm dealing with it now as well, even for leveling
i want to go hemo/sub for some for some fo the advantages, but I also want to be outputting the most dmg possible.
Well my guild.wants me on combat swords for.raiding, and I very much like that build. I guess my pvp dream is dead.
i'm not even planning to raid and I still can't decide if I want to drop combat
I wonder what honor rank I could get using the pve build
RIGHT?
So if I am focusing on swords and i want to switch to a pvp spec without changing weopons, I could be competitive with a hemo.sword build?
Master of Cheese probably knew about it all those years!
that's where I was leaning. I'm combat sword lvling only 26 but was thinking to go hemo at 30 since i'm on a pvp server. but with no battle grounds to do i'm not even sure it's worth it
i'm using MH sword/mace OH dagger so i'm lvling each of the weapons pretty evenly. don't have sword specialization so not missing out on that
Taking Sword Spec early is a big ol fat nono
yeah it's not even in my leveling path, I was just being clear lol
I dont think there are multiple bar pages on classic.either. so I would have to.change all my ability hot keys each time I switched spec as well.
Hemo was viable in pvp with something like 4k attack power iirc.
There are pages that you can scroll through.
i'm basically leveling on my own, occasionally with friends. I just don't want to spec into hemo/sub and have it be more difficult, more downtime than what i'm doing with combat
But nothing contextual.
Maybe I should just level 2 rogues
Or just learn another class for pvp
Because I am certain I want to raid with combat rogue
doo itt! i'll have two rogues eventually
is anyone out there leveling without combat? going into sub or is literally everyone combat?
my next rogue i'm gonna go slow and mess around with sub probably
i really miss actually using stealth effectively 🤣
Should I just make a second orc for my pvp rogue. Or undead?
same lol stealth is just fun to me
the increased speed, proper sapping, increased stealth and better detection
that's why I want to but I know not to at least until hemo bc LOL at 45cost SS while leveling
orc or ud are both good for pvp
https://shadowpanther.net/races.htm
UD > Orc :3
i went UD 
fem orc 
does anyone know how much the first 2 respecs cost? like if I went sub and for whatever reason back to combat? If it's not too much I can justify it
garona wannabe
it'll be awhile before i'm 60 and specing again
1 g and then 5g
oh shit...
better get to gold farmin
I want to make pvp work with the raid build somehow.
you just can't. you can have a build that is decent at both, but not exceptional at both
i'd rather expose armor than SND in pvp
when you talk about Raid/pve, gotta think about the debuff cap.
rip garrote or rupture or hemo or Expose.
leaves us with mongo white swords snd with sword spec and snd. still big damage
i have that advantage of I don't plan on raiding lol
then do what you do
get a nice sub build and no one will care in dungeons, as long as your st is still good
i personally cba to stealth for quests, Busy pulling with knife throw and SS their faces.
it's so handy for caves and stuff
but yeah... that's why i'm back on the fence about specing
Im also on the knife throw SS strat xD
Same
the throw knife
ability
felt so clunky
cause it has cast time
i miss bfa instant throw knife lol
which 1 is better late game
knives or bows ?
crossbows and bows
heythatworks
They both work -

Counts by charges and time, can always turn off the bits you don't like.
I just use my own trackers as I want to know when the shaman is fucking up WF totem or not.
brokenConsumable
Instants unless you have WF in group
Windfury Totem from Shaman.
Instant on both for DPS, only on OH if you have a 32+ Shaman in your group.
okay thanks for the info!
deadly breaks gouges and in raids takes up a valuable debuff slot
i'll throw on crippling sometimes if I'm fighting a bunch of mobs that have a tendency to run, but obv that's not going to add dps
how do u deal with the level 20 rogue quest do u just do it later?
seems like u cant solo this shit
it's easier at 22, or you need help
at 22 you get distract and vanish
guy at top can be killed with 2 ambush attacks
so when you get vanish at 22 it's much easier. or 2 rogues can each hit and kill him
yeah when I did it there was another rogue, so we each helped each other. 1 ambush from each of us and he was isntantly dead
ah
it's not a dps number, it's like a hidden mechanic that he dies in 2 ambushes. I don't think it matters how much it hits him for
can rogues tank low level dungeons?
@winged crystal would this technique work solo?
problem is the only way you can get 2 ambushes is with vanish at lvl 22
apparently he has a grace period after you vanish that you can get a 2nd in, think it's meant that way for the fight
He should be vulnerable to backstab also according to the journal
if you can get the gouge off, ltos of mobs that much higher than you will resist them
or bring a buddy!
Nice Weak Auras linked, will import em when I get home tbh.
does anyone know a method of setting up icons for cooldown abilities so that the icon is visible with cooldown counter if a) the spell is on cooldown (used) OR b) player is in combat (just to hide stuff away when running around).
I couldnt get it to work, displaying when used and cooldown counter but when I go into combat and ability is NOT on cooldown for whatever reason I just get it to show a black box with red "?"...
(trying this in WA to customize with other stuff I have)
want it for a lot of things, like adrenaline, will of the forsaken, gouge, sprint etc.
I have mine setup currently to show evasion/sprint as normal color when ready to use. When I use them I get a timer for the duration, when they finish it turns grey and has a CD timer. I'm 99% sure I could also tick "show in combat only"
ok maybe try that just that I love WA for other stuff... but maybe 1 addon more couldnt hurt 😉
it functions very similar, I used this before I discovered WA
just setting up WA sometimes it's really a lot. like you can setup a ability timer but not a cd timer so you make 2 of them and put them on top of each other to get the final result
but i'm going to get it for those poison ones above
@bold prawn I didn't kill a single enemy in that quest. Just pick pocket the dude outside, then stealth through to the top, sap the boss guy and loot the chest. Then just jump down and run out. Doesn't really matter if you get killed at that point. I did the whole thing naked.
I mean the quest you had to kill a couple tho?
You don't have to kill anything, Alliance side at least
The lvl 20 one for horde, you have to pick pocket a guy, kill 2 guys at bottom of tower, kill 3 mid way through tower then get the thing out of the box iirc
Thats how it is for Alliance but it doesnt tell you to kill anyone
Just to get the key and open the box. You have the option of pick pocket or kill
There was ones we had to kill on horde side
That sucks : /
horde poison quest is stupidly hard at lvl 20, you can do it, but not for your average or casual player at all.. requires help, doing it later or really pro playing.
Ah didn't realize there was a difference for horde
The log you get mentions the enemies are all weak to backstab and ambush though.
I didn't have a dagger though, just swords.
So I elected to sneak instead
Its pretty hard for alliance too, pick pocketing is rough since he just sees stealth. I've heard of people just sprinting in to pocket then running though
Was easy for me but I was questing until 22 before I went and did it
Yeah, I had to be quick
I did it naked because I knew I'd die a couple of times at least
How does sub do in casual dungeons at 60? I don't want to constantly farm money to swap specs all the time so I want a decent pve spec that can hang in pvp, I'll probably be mostly pvping
@sly valve 😂 naked, that me chuckle
Vanilla isn’t a hard game, hemo spec does like 60-70% damage of a combat rogue in raiding but for dungeons that doesn’t matter
Honestly you can still kill people in PvP with a combat sword spec cuz ur a fucking rogue
Yup I've had honestly 0 issue with PvP lately as sword combat. (51 here)
Hemo is just fun as shit and “good enough” for most dungeons
Is it still hemo swords or w daggers
you can do either.
swords for dungeons, daggers for pvp
i dont think you take a specialization for swords, backstab, sinister strike, or daggers anyways
I think imma do the swords build then, I’m having a blast.
Doing a little grinding on my future twink rogue on my work pc and it looks pretty good!
I should just be happy this dinosaur runs the game period. Haha
THAT'S A LOTTA POTIONS
yeah, they seem to be attracted to me
Hey, Could anyone tell me the best leveling spec for Rogue?
i need to gold farm for my mount zz
I was actually gonna ask if there were any rogue-friendly farming spots to farm ~38-42 for gold
questing honestly
or dungeon grinding.
could also respec subtlety and go and pickpocket RFD or something
I'm definitely not going to have enough gold for my mount at 40
i'm 26 and have 6g rofl
how much relative value does agil give in weapon dps? To rephrase, how much dps increase is required for a weapon to be better than another that has agility?
so in almost every case weapon dps will be valued higher?
nice, I take it there's no way to sim or get stat weights yet?
stat weights KINDA exist
Vanilla gearing is a lot easier because no TF and BiS lists exist
so people can just tell you what shit to go get
dno if this is allowed here but couldn';t find anywhere else to post on the server, im playing the panther build https://www.twitch.tv/twitchingjeff
the complicated part comes down to maximizing non-bis item usage
#rogue-streamers probably, though I don't know how they feel about classic-specific streams and all
yea wasnt sure either :S
@idle cedar which is why I was asking 🙂 just general rule of thumb things to go off of when deciding which piece is better than another
oh yeah, just agreeing, don't really have too much input on it though, haven't delved into classic simming just yet
Is combat swords optimal dps through MC (yes, I care, no, I don't know why)
there's some really easily accessible +dagger skill items, and there's none until bwl/naxx for +swords, so I'm wondering if it still comes out ahead without access to maladath/hungering cold
or is making glancing blows fuck off not really that high of a priority?
No no no no Yes No No, the swords and the talent are better.
Shame - kinda like the daggers playstyle, but best is best (and I don't hate swords or anything, just high crit backstab feels good)
you can play combat daggers in raid and do almost as much as sword rogue
and not wasting the dagger drops like core hound tooth and perditions from MC
and then end up doing more damages than the rogues still in pre raid
m a c e s
yea just steal ironfoe off of a warrior
That's true - who else is really gonna use daggers
warriors can use them for threat gen weapons early on, and then others for stat sticks, but that's about it, right
Just because someone else doesn't want daggers doesn't mean you should use them even though they're weaker.
They do look nice though, and you can just weapon swap the opener.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I mean I'll have loot priority in the guild I'm in currently
but y'know, optimizing drops for everyone
ironfoe more like
o _O
grand marshal's punisher
reads “who else is gonna use daggers” and hears a hunter laugh in the distance
all weapons are hunter weapons
Except daggers without stats or AP.
imagine being in range of totems O _O worse things have happened I suppose
Agreed, all weapons belong to hunters: https://i.imgur.com/L2Ya8nE.jpg

apparently the tower in westfall is best to level up your lockpicking during the poisons quest? but if you complete it then you cant do the lockpick leveling
is it worth completeing asap just to get poisons tho
maybe? The redridge place is where I would go though
my lockpicking is 100 atm
Dont need lockpicking for poison quest anyway
YEah then definitely just do the quest, redridge and wetlands can level it more anyway
alrighty ty
is there a way to remove poison from your weapon?
what would yall take, a flat 6agil ring or the seal of wrynn (3str,3agi,4stam,4int,3spirit)
i put poison on mh and then a shaman joined the party
right click the buff
doesnt work
gotta let it fall off via time or charges
hi guys ... is it worth following the completionist guide on shadow panther
for alliance
quest completionist guide
if you want rep/gold or are just taking your time leveling, sure
how important is the rep ... have not really played vanilla only started in MoP
oki.. then I will just do the zones as I progress
dont fancy running to teldrassil atm
😄
Has anyone tried farming Pick Pocket in SM for a little extra mount cash? It worked on some pservers but not others, so i dont actually know what is actual vanilla. Some servers had lockboxes contain little and others had them contain a decent bit of cash
I would invest 20-30m in googling for various grindspots and methods of making gold while leveling, I’ve made 200g+ from just selling engi-made blunderbusses and mithril casings that is required for 2 quests... it’s all about working things like that into your daily playing for me and avoid a 5-10hour mindless grind-session ”only” for cash.
the amount of players should let you easy make gold
@latent summit is it too late to make gold off that method?
Nope just depends on the server if its used by others or not
so anyone feel like fishing is just
not making as much gold as it should?
idk how Oily Blackmouth only going for 1 silver on my server rn
I was gonna rely on fishing to get my mount money but it looks like nobody got any money at all so looks like I gotta generate that gold in-game
Has anyone experienced a bug where NPCs are missing items and just missing in general for Touch of Zanzil?
yes i had to buy my tube thingy from AH
apparently it only spawns onto the npc ocassionaly
layer hoping can help
where should I level lockpicking if I already did the poison and redridge quests? im at 88 lockpicking atm
ye this guide fked me
Battered Footlocker 70 Stonetalon Mountains [map]
i went here
and i cant open any of the chests
hmm
Zoram Strand near BFD in Ashenvale from 70-150, or durnholde keep from 110-150
Kazogue the 70 and 110 chests are reversed on the guide
The 70+ ones are outside the mine, 110 inside
4 str 4 Stam leather belt
AAAAAGH
OOOOH UUUUUH
hey, does someone know how to setup a weak aura for missing poisons on my weapons?
hey
AHHA HAHAHH
i have been missing so many skills cus i didnt realize i ahd to scroll down in the rogue trainer
following these lockpicking guides and i was wondering why shouldnt i stay in the same place and lockpick to level it the item is still yellow
all the guides say from this level to that level, but the item is still yellow when the guide says i should be going to the next spot
okay guys, I just pickpocketted a Lucky Charm last night. I google'd it and there's talk that it MAY improve drop chance. Neither confirmed nor denied (doesn't affect random rolls at all, I read that at least). What are the thoughts? Anyone with some of them that maybe probably sort of experience better "luck" on drops from mobs and such? It sounds really far fetched but, shortly after I got one, I also got my first two random lock box drops from mobs nearly back to back. Coincidence? XD
how is it that my mainhand poison runs out quicker when its a slow 1 hander
Because instant attacks are also attacks
Is Garrote -> 1pt Rupture -> Sinister Strike -> 1pt SND a good opener for grinding mobs while leveling?
@cursive ridge Personally I just Ss/evis, goes so fast.. maybe if you kill mobs above your level..?
I’m usually not bothering with stealth unless I risk downtime to eat, then I stealth and cheapshot
If you never plan to raid and only want to focus on pvp, wouldnt you lose to.people who have raid gear?
pvp gear has a lot more stamina than raid gear, arararararagi san
although probably not enough to override the added damage from tier gear
(and raid weapons)
I am having to make a second rogue for.pvp since my combat rogue wont be able to pvp. But I'm concerned with how I would gear my pvp rogue without raiding
Depends, itemization is fairly basic, itemlevel is important, naxx drops for example is better than pvp rewards for most/all slots a bit depending on class and spec...
If you want to min-max you need both.
I would have never mained rogue if I knew my pve spec is not viable at all for pvp. Makes.me sad
MC spec wont last that long though tbh
?
What do you mean by MC spec
Combat/swords
Wasnt that still strong in BWL
Bwl+ dagger time
Also what is viable really... you can go green daggers in MC and be fine, if you want a full MC-clear in sub 18 minutes.. probably not though
Well pre-MC gear you go swords or dual epic-ubrs daggers which just isnt very likely you can get... so it’s swords.
After MC you both have good daggers and can chain-spam backstab on 2nd boss which is the DPS-check... and you have more bosses that murder works on going forward
Almost any build “works” it’s all about what you want and how you play... if you run with a 5-man group daggers is awesome, if you solo it’s slow, but it’s fun to ambush 1-shot stuff as well and maybe you prefer that 😉
Combat is the beast for quest/ grind efficiency combined with lots of good swords available from quests and drops.. so it just works better, but it may be boring and you prioritize fun.. or you mainly want pvp-effectiveness and “whatever works” for pve whatever rocks your boat man 😉
I want to go the best version of pve raid combat swords and still be able to do well in pvp
If you haven’t played much vanilla/private server rogue I think a good suggestion could be to respec a couple time even if it’s expensive...
How much would cost to respec between each raid every week
Caps out at 50g/respec
It goes down every week but not if you keep respecing
It would honestly be a better idea to have 2 chars :p
That brings me back to my original worry, if I have a rogue just for pvp its gear would suck
Still there are no problems going dagger-specc in pve raids, except maybe first few runs of MC..
Also stating it would “suck” comparing r14 rogue vs naxx-geared is a bit extreme as well
Most rogues i’ve talked to that state dagger-spec is “so bad in MC it wont work” also cannot use their mount pre-raid cause they have so may buffs the mount-effect doesnt have space in the system-limit 😉
I guess I just wont pvp
Should I grab Improved Eviscerate while leveling early on
or go straight for Dual Wield spec
I can start getting that next level (currently 24)
Personally I go DW and grab BF
I mean, if you're gonna go for big pve damage
You're gonna need to spend big $$$$ on consumables anyway
what about a combat spec with some of the sub pvp telents? 
I'm starting to level in contested zones and that's what ive been considering
like taking master of deception, camoflage, imp sprint
what level are you and main spec?
it's worth it to use up the last few at a higher level
25 going deep into combat
yeah not worth it til you already gone deep combat
Again personal choice, constantly having +40 crit on openers aint bad tbh
I look forward to farming a lobotomizer
anyone know if i need to have a certain ravenholdt rep to accept the 52 rogue quest?
do we have to get rep for them? lol
i hadnt messed with them
im only 35 but still
gives sexy blues
P2, with DM
I don't remember if every class quest requires DM, but they should all be P2 to keep it consistent
how many of these emblems do i need?
is stat weight a thing in classic
everyone is combat swords right now for leveling
;p
kinda want to go dagger
but im fkin human!
Guys what do you think for oh https://classicdb.ch/?item=4090 or https://classicdb.ch/?item=10761 ?
@gloomy hawk once you get the +dagger mods fire away.
How are people building for pvp? Dagger wise
I’ve built like 4 different ways and can’t decide
i live for big numbers on my screen so obv imp sprint daggers
And ambush builds
@sharp grotto you can't decide between dagger specs?
i always go imp sprint since i go into combat for imp backstab anyways, sub into prep +dirty deeds, and rest into assa for relentless and lethality
but i think that's standard
like you going imp SS or dodge in combat tree for dag spec since wont really use SS haha
also some builds i take MoD in sub and some i dont
dodge imo, you're gonna pull for backstabs alot anyways while chasing for their backs
so there's no fear of overcapping
yeah mod/camo tradeoff is meh
and do you go imp sap? sometimes i do sometimes i dont haha
i ignore mod and go imp sap ye
its nice for when theres muiltiple people but then it dont matter when just 1v1
MoD is more important in 1v1 imho
lol
maybe, i remember playing on pservers and it only mattered vs rogues tbh
druids 
what do you think about hieghtened senses?
of course its only good against rogues also
yeah pretty much, i dont take it
players too
but you can even pick imp expose if you do cs/expose openers on warriors for instance
eh i never liked that to much... against wars i played the bleed out game
yeah, idk how alot of ppl say warriors beat rogues in vanilla
https://classicdb.ch/?talent#fhxb0xtZhfZqMfczhk thinking about this
may swap that MoD to 2/3 of sap
looks ok but i doubt 1 point in mod makes a big difference
might as well use it somewhere else more impactful
like sap
yea
well you cant have CB with that
and just 10 cheaper is nice
20 is better but 100% crit is better than 10 energy
yeah, if you wanna play cb that's fine, personally i play imp sprint no cb
i have been rolling with this alot https://classic.wowhead.com/talent-calc/rogue/005320105-302302002-05025302030012
and it never betrayed me
you dont like serated blade?
nah, that's a bit of a waste
eh it is against mages mainly
idk, i just feel with this spec and the amount of crits
i never lacked dmg
for me to go into more ap
yea like we said at the start theres literally SOOOO many ways to play rogue lol
how good are the more pvp oriented specs at dungeons? I feel like I'd rather be more a pvp oriented spec, but I'm still going to end up doing some dungeons
depends what you mean pvp oriented
like hemo I guess. Or the spec you linked
hemo/combat is a thing that works ok in pve although not as good
if you wanna go for a pvp oriented spec, it should be dagger imo
yeah I'm thinking about going cold blood hemo but I don't know how terrible that would be in pve
sounds pretty bad to me 😄
I figured as much
i can see imp ambush with double/triple ambush openers fine (prep), definitely a thing i rolled with in dungeon spams on a pvp server
works well on smaller healthpool bosses from dungeons
raids i always respecced for pve but then i again i didn't raid too much
like a couple of casual clears
yeah I don't want that respec cost haha
imo if you're not min maxing it shouldn't really matter
play whatever
pure pve specs are ahead but never by too much
yeah I just wonder how far behind something like that would be
well from memory the combat swords rogue was about 60 dps ahead of me in MC, me showing up to raids as prep dagger lmao
i'd beat his ass on smaller duration bosses
with triple ambushes
How much is the second respec?
SO i'm hearing conflicting reports, maybe a vanilla original rogue can confirm
Is PP on Classic nerfed from Vanilla or just nerfed from PServers
@gloomy hawk It puts whatever modifier that you press "first".
Any advice for soloing at lower levels? I just got Rupture, but barely see a chance to use it. Most of my CP's go to keeping SnD up since most of my damage comes from white hits.
i hate blizzard servers.... lol just getting wrecked atm
dont use SnD
dont use rupture
just SS /. evis
lol
servers back down?
Is that word of mouth or was something tested?
im lvling and dont use either... no use in it
hell most guilds tell you to not even train it atm
by the time you have cbs for rupture you could just kill them with evis
Hm. I'm kinda suspicious about that. Where are 'they' getting that from?
"hell most guilds tell you to not even train it atm"
and only reason i ever use rupture is if i pull more than 1 mob... then i get 5 cb rupture on a target then swap
i ment guides*
Which guide are you referring to?
says "start using SnD after rank 2"
blizzard/region getting ddos'd
ihatetheirservers
which is like 40
@delicate stone https://www.wowisclassic.com/en/class-guide/rogue/leveling-1-60/
Check our rogue leveling guide 1-60 on Vanilla / Classic WoW to help you leveling faster. You'll find the best spec, best gear, addons, to be the first rogue lvl 60. Best guide on Wowisclassic.com
says use after rank 2 in the 40-60 range
and only tailer in SnD depoending on fight length
Just EVI things.
Especially later on when you get higher ranks of EVI O _O
but wasting the cbs is pointless
Finding an energy ticker and swing timer are next on the list.
the WA ones are nice
If you're not 60 or Sword Spec I wouldn't bother with a Swing Timer yet.
atleast sword spec... but even then i dont see any difference in havin git... i cant tell a single difference
Without more testing I wouldn't write it off entirely.
do you guys think the stormshrouds gear is worth farming?, got no agi so im not sure if its good
I mean it looks nice and it's good leveling gear.
I mostly want the swing timer to get experience using it and finding a good position for it later. May as well start now.
Plenty of WA that do that then, and 1-2 popular addons.
you can very easily make a swing wa
I found this wonderful mp5 WA for my Priest that's just a shiny bar that travels up my mana bar during each tick and resets when I spend mana. Ideally I'd like something similar for Energy. I'm WA illiterate, but I might be able to convert it or tweak it to fit Energy.
I can't get into the damn gam
anyone have any expertise which build would be better for general leveling https://classic.wowhead.com/talent-calc/rogue/325200105-3200550100050150231
fuckthisquest
the talent build with only one point in aggression looks better to me.
idk if I'd go remorseless
i'd skip out on remorseless and go improved SnD
stupid fucking quest
For leveling combat swords, is it worth having a weapon swap macro for using Ambush in stealth or is Garrote / Cheap Shot generally better?
CS probably better
garrote/cs depending
can you make combat work for pvp or is sub daggers the go to
Maces wasnt busted yet iirc,
do you guys sell medium leather on ah or nah just vendor it?
vendor
my buddy wants me to roll on his pvp server for premades at 60 when they roll out. Im not sure if i wanna go lock or rogue blah.
What.
sorry if that came out weird, english isnt my native, My friend wants me to roll on his server for a dps slot for bg premades when they go live
is there a consensus on which sword goes in MH highest dps vs highest top end dmg?
- Make bank alt #1
- Send items you unsure about
- When you bored relog to bank alt
- Check AH price
- If negligible then vendor
- If not then list and forget
- Relog to main
- Cast SS
- Repeat
Is there a Tell Me When profile I can import?
bestquestrewardever
which is better questie or zygor questing addon
picked up the ravager on my warrior today. man, dont care how bad it is it feels friggen great
spin 2 win
the proc rate seems much higher on classic than it was on pservers, and the range is absurd. its like... not better than WWaxe, but when it procs in larger packs the dps is stupid
plus it can proc itself, so i regularly have 18 seconds or so walk off and do other things while i do damage
its better than ww axe for dungeons outside of st bosses
and bonebiter is better than ww axe
Ayy got 38 on rogue lol...
the pickpocketing is worth iiiiiiiiiit
what lvl picking is that
What level what?
Was from a chest > _> but I got it while leveling lockpicking.
aaaaand we're done for now :3
the price increase O _O
that immersion is expensive
Trash blade + windfury
https://thumbs.gfycat.com/GargantuanAdvancedHammerkop-size_restricted.gif
For a raiding rotation, do you keep rupture on 100% of the time like it was in TBC?
you dont use rupture cause of debuff slot limit
same reason you dont use deadly poison
hey guys is sword spec proc main hand only?
main hand is the one that's affected by your abilities
offhand can just do offhand things and if it procs it procs
so i log in just now and i'm not able to move my unit frames, default unit frames UI
@plucky nymph where you lvling your picking?
it's very tempting to buy weapons from the AH, but is that a decent thing to do? is there like a cutoff where you say that's ok and worth it vs that's too much to spend while leveling?
Depends on your gold-income ability but tbh I dont need weapons when leveling due to quests and dungeons... but some random gear-pieces wouldnt hurt.
Just go LW and improve your gear as you lvl and dungeons / quest will give weapons and rings and shit
where can i buy throwing weapons in stormwind
I switched to dagger spec for leveling. Mistakes have been made. Now I can’t afford respec! Fml
I’m only level 16 I’m sure it gets better with ambush and what not
yea
Energy pool>gouge>backstab works at low levels
For efficiency: combat but maybe weapon-swap macros for backstab/ambush...
For fun: whatever rocks your boat but your 1-60 time will suffer if that matters for you.
I leveled up doing gouge/backstab until I got decent swords. Worked really well.
@sharp grotto 150 - 220 was here
Bah.. I was having fun, then DDOS happened. RIP
NO FUN FOR YOU
Oh well, I should really be cleaning anyway, but the wife took a nap so I had time 😦
ha
