broken pollen
#

how much dps do i lose if i just ignore this swing timer crap

drowsy phoenix
#

what's with eviscerate crunching low level mobs?

fair carbon
#

@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

broken pollen
#

aww

#

i thought its only 5% chance tho

drowsy phoenix
#

if you really dont wanna deal with it, pick another weapon spec

orchid plume
#

what's the swing timer stuff?

drowsy phoenix
#

sword spec extra swings

#

they consume your next auto attack and therefore set the time before the next one to full

orchid plume
#

so sinister strike right after your main hand hits?

drowsy phoenix
#

pretty much

hidden basin
#

just go sinister strike early in the swing

#

right?

fair carbon
#

Yes

#

Very early

broken pollen
#

damn gotta have spiderman reflexes

wooden vale
#

so boys

#

whats some good macros that i probably dont have

broken pollen
#

i need macro that does sinister strike .01 sec after my MH swing

wooden vale
#

yeah ez

#

im left handed so thats always whack to me

broken pollen
#

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

exotic trellis
#

#

plucky nymph

boxboxboxboxbox

broken pollen
#

nice

#

brd pickpocketing works in classic?

exotic trellis
#

idk

#

pickpocket values were nerfed from pservers

broken pollen
#

rip

#

guess ill just mine/herb

dull pilot
#

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

broken pollen
#

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

plucky nymph
#

If you're comparing numbers from private to retail you shouldn't take it as abject truth.

broken pollen
#

im not

#

people are saying vanill to clasisc was nerfed

#

pp farm

plucky nymph
#

Gimme some numbers > _>

#

Memory is shit to begin with, anecdotes only go so far.

broken pollen
#

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

onyx nymph
#

how much is the ravenholdt training discount or w/e

#

for training skills

hushed laurel
#

pickpocketing wasnt worth shit in vanilla. never was.

echo junco
#

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?

shadow tapir
#

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

signal ember
#

@broken pollen I soloed the devilasuars back in vanilla with no issue. Not going tribe tho, going for elemental this time

#

p;lo8k+/

gloomy hawk
#

any useful macro

#

i should use?

wooden vale
#

this one seems ok
#showtooltip
/startattack
/cast Sinister Strike

#

so you auto attack even if ur energy starved

gloomy hawk
#

thanks

#

that helps a lot

somber hawk
#

Any other things to keep in mind other than trying to Sinister right after MH swings with sword spec?

versed cedar
#

dont spam out energy since interrupt costs energy 😉

glossy portal
#

new rogues have to learn, that if your energy is not overflowing you are not losing dps

north lintel
#

Any1 have a working expose armor cancel attack macro? Please share

mighty burrow
#

does that sinister strike macro work with backstab as well? @wooden vale

wooden vale
#

not sure, i'd assume so

mighty burrow
#

np, it's pretty much just making sure you resume autoattacking after you cast right?

north lintel
#

@mighty burrow it does.

wooden vale
#

mainly for when you're switching to a new target

#

so instead of standing there doing nothing

#

it will either SS or auto

mighty burrow
#

awesome, tyvm

north lintel
#

@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.

wooden vale
#

exactly

mighty burrow
#

oh okay i understand

north lintel
#

@wooden vale do you happen to know the expose armor stop attack macro? I can't seem to get mine working for classic.

somber hawk
#

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

north lintel
#

@somber hawk yea I know how to do that, but i prefer not needing to

somber hawk
#

for sure

#

so /cast EA /stopattack doesnt work?

north lintel
#

nah

glossy portal
#

why do you want to stopattack after expose ?

north lintel
#

So I can cast expose armor within qouge/sap without breaking cc

glossy portal
#

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?

north lintel
#

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

glossy portal
#

/cast expose /stopattack doesn't work ?

north lintel
#

no

late yew
#

Anyone here from Kirtonos?

shy turtle
#

anyone know how close daggers and swords are in dmg, mc/bwl?

cerulean idol
#

What’s best professions for rogues?

late yew
#

Eng for the added burst

#

swords are better leveling daggers are better late game/pvp if im correct

gloomy hawk
#

for the rogue class quest

#

at lvl 20

#

do i need high stealth level?

#

the mob keep detecting me

#

even though im behind him

acoustic heath
#

nope I did it on 20 aswell

#

u should group up tho

#

the mobs hit hard

verbal tiger
raven snow
#

i said no to a person that asked me to unlock a 225 lockbox for 3 Sil. am i cheap or is he?

verbal tiger
#

it says to level with swords and then use daggers when in a dungeon is that about right?

acoustic heath
#

meh I just run swords up to 60

#

not worth switching around while leveling

#

imo

raven snow
#

^

verbal tiger
#

apparently you should equip daggers though when in a dungeon

#

for ambush and backstab damage being beter?

acoustic heath
#

why

#

porbably not no

#

depends how deep you are specced into combat I guess

#

but you blast through dungeons anyway

verbal tiger
#

do you know of a good rogue guide

#

oh nvm

acoustic heath
#

wowhead guide

bitter talon
#

Does anyone have a macro for pickpocketing on an opener?

steel condor
#

Is there a decent lockpicking guide?

bitter talon
#

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.

robust moon
#

I dumbass did that quest before realizing that I can level my lockpicking

bitter talon
#

Me too lol

#

Noticed like 5 min after pepehands

echo shore
#

The comments on it say you can go back and just use the lockpick spell to pick the lock

#

Haven’t tested though

night loom
#

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.

bitter talon
#

Oh wow that makes me even dumber, I did the lockpicking at stonetalon

verbal tiger
#

how do i wield swords i went to weapon trainer there is no sword option

night loom
#

@verbal tiger The Sword Trainer is in Stormwind

verbal tiger
#

they're not all the same?

night loom
#

no, every weapon trainer teaches something else

verbal tiger
#

oh...

versed cedar
#

for horde you got swords at UC and maces at TB

winged crystal
#

i spent way too much time figuring that out the other day when a mace dropped in WC i could use

cyan vessel
#

what dismount addons are people using

#

dont think ezdismount is working

night loom
#

I wrote macros for every single ability

cyan vessel
#

LUL

tame geyser
#

/cast "mount"
/dismount
doesn't work?

bitter talon
#

does anyone know the expose armor macro without auto attacking?

loud tree
#

@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?

winged crystal
#

i'm just super sad my azeroth auto pilot stopped working

mossy adder
#

Yeah mine broke around level 15 disabled it and have been using questie only now

winged crystal
#

i got to 24 somewhere in stonetalon. it just disappears haha. installed questie but that arrow guiding me was truly magical

orchid ledge
#

anyone knowing about a site where i can check all the sets with different races?

gloomy hawk
#

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

shadow tapir
#

Should be fine

#

Fast OH for poison anyway, yeah?

winged crystal
#

its fine unless you use sword specialization

gritty goblet
#

what was the argument for using ss at the end of a white swing?

#

saw a discussion a while ago here

winged crystal
#

you use it right after you swing when you have sword specialization

gritty goblet
#

ah, why?

winged crystal
#

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

shadow tapir
#

Sword spec procs reset swing timer so you dont want to reset it with SS right before your auto

gritty goblet
#

@shadow tapir ah gotcha

north vapor
gritty goblet
#

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

north vapor
#

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

sharp grotto
#

Dagger spec is fun for big hits on clothies with ambush and backstabs lol

winged crystal
#

CB is fun but the 3m cooldown makes it pretty meh outside of it. for 1v1 and world stuff it's a blast

sharp grotto
#

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

gritty goblet
#

make sure to vanish death coil

#

for extra cinematic effect

sharp grotto
#

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

cyan vessel
#

[Vanquisher's Sword]MH [Sword of Serenity] OH

#

pretty bad right?

#

what do i loose if OH is slow too?

vocal hornet
#

offhand poison procs

#

main hand is heavily SS damage. so big and fat.

winged crystal
#

4.5 lvls and I'm going hemo until dagger pvp at 60. that's my overall plan so far

sharp grotto
#

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

winged crystal
#

i'm leveling on a pvp server and want to do roguey things from the shadows

sharp grotto
#

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

vocal hornet
#

lol my first attempt at a sap/pickpocket and dude RP creeps. gtfo.

#

no more sneeaky for me. Whoppem in the face.

winged crystal
#

I just like moving faster in stealth, sapping to kill mobs that are close, stuff like that

sharp grotto
#

Yea I miss sap and not coming out of stealth but eh combat so strong lvling

winged crystal
#

that is true and a compelling argument

#

especially for doing elite quests

vocal hornet
#

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.

winged crystal
#

that'll happen when our only aoe is a 2m cd you have to spec into 🤣

dusk crystal
#

at least we do giga st

#

and delete people in pvp XD

winged crystal
#

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

rugged patrol
#

finally got my gurubashi grand master quest done last night 😎

stoic cairn
#

got both - leggins and gauntlets.. some big money incoming :D

vocal hornet
#

oh man.

#

Im still lowby

#

leatherwork 90 ish

#

@stoic cairn

#

enjoy the coins.

sharp grotto
#

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

stoic cairn
#

59 1/2

sharp grotto
#

Nice get it today!

winged crystal
#

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

sharp grotto
#

I’ll say LW is the easiest to lvl....

winged crystal
#

I was stuck in that end game mind set

sharp grotto
#

Bc basically every mob is your materials

winged crystal
#

LW would have been great for leveling

sharp grotto
#

LW is bis for pre raid items and shit is what I heard bc the devilsaur so I went that

winged crystal
#

yeah, I went with oh i'll replace it raiding and won't need it that long

sharp grotto
#

Money was on my mind to, bc there will always be fresh 60s wanting starting gear haha

winged crystal
#

meanwhile I can't even herb kingsblood or anything else outside of the barrens

#

and can't make better than lesser healing potions 🤣

sharp grotto
#

Lol! Get to farming

winged crystal
#

this thing called work, really getting in the way

dusk crystal
#

your work is in azeroth now

tough pilot
#

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.

dusk crystal
#

they are for me

#

search classicauradurations

sly valve
#

that addon is such a godsend

tough pilot
#

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.

jade bobcat
#

What is the best Horde Rogue Racial for both Pvp and Pve ?

plucky nymph
#

🔮

echo shore
#

Before i get Sword Specialization , does it matter if i have a dagger or sword in my off hand?

#

Human if it chnages it

fossil steeple
#

daggers are usually faster,so prolly more poison procs,other than that not sure if it matters

loud tree
rain jacinth
#

yo

#

any classic rogue gods can help me with bis daggers?

plucky nymph
rain jacinth
#

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

plucky nymph
#

Highest DMG MH, best stats+speed OH.

exotic trellis
#

that sounds like

#

some twink ass shit

#

how do I change my name only in this channel

rain jacinth
#

yea bro im on that twink shit

#

while leveling

sly valve
#

How useful is LW at early levels? I picked up skinning and herbalism since they seemed like easy moneymakers early on.

plucky nymph
#

You close your eyes and imagine a different name.

plucky nymph
sly valve
#

What level are you?

exotic trellis
#

he has vanquisher's sword

#

probably just hit 40

plucky nymph
drowsy phoenix
#

wait

#

that's without training, correct?

plucky nymph
#

Depends on what training you mean.

jolly walrus
#

Lads&lladettes, do we want deadly poison in MH or OH? in conjunction with instant poison

plucky nymph
#

Never Deadly.

jolly walrus
#

no? double insta?

drowsy phoenix
#

miz I mean whatever race you are mount training

sly valve
#

deadly is the dot right?

#

I'd avoid that since it'd break gouge

silver walrus
#

guys i downloaded real mob health but it doesnt show the hp on the frame

#

any addons that shows hp in frame

#

?

broken pollen
#

best gold making method for rogue?

plucky nymph
#

@drowsy phoenix Yeah it's 72+18

worldly juniper
#

hey guys is it worth using SS during leveling i feel like its a dps loss

wooden vale
#

what else u gonna do with ur energy?

worldly juniper
#

SS and vis

plucky nymph
#

...

drowsy phoenix
#

I already have the mount training

#

at 67 gold though

pallid tinsel
#

it worth saving matts for helm of fire while lvling?

unkempt cove
#

@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

plucky nymph
north vapor
#

So if there's ppm on poisons why does it matter if your OH is slow or not?

#

or fast rather

plucky nymph
#

Because weapon speed in proc formula isn't normalized and a faster weapon will net you more procs.

drowsy phoenix
#

I did the SM quest and just took the 2H for gold

#

was like 2g 31s something c

north vapor
#

So do you think Sword of Serenity or Speedsteel Rapier for OH?

plucky nymph
#

The faster one.

#

SoS is like 2.2 ye?

exotic trellis
#

FIERY WAR AX

plucky nymph
#

Vendor for 2g oooor... hmmm...

wraith parcel
daring thunder
#

peepo

north vapor
#

SoS is 2.2 30 dps SSR is 28.7dps 1.8 speed but has 8 agil so probably better

#

for OH anyways

shadow tapir
#

stats and faster for poison procs so likely

errant timber
#

guy teabagged me after

#

yeah just proc windfury twice on the same attack

#

then pretend like i got outplayed OMEGALUL

plucky nymph
#

eh WF Weapon is +2 attacks after... some level... I think always actually.

#

ye R1 is +2

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

errant timber
#

o either way

#

i just got smacked

daring thunder
#

teabagging is so overrated

#

the macro's like y o u l o s e are great though

plucky nymph
#

/clap /clap /clap /clap /clap /clap /clap /clap /clap /clap /clap /clap /clap /clap /clap /clap /clap

drowsy phoenix
#

c c a f

#

so

#

horde gets ironfoe but better and on every weapon

errant timber
#

kinda, you lose the ability to poison main hand

plucky nymph
#

oh nooooo

gloomy hawk
#

whats a good macro

#

to use for instant poison

plucky nymph
#

That depends entirely on what you want the macro to do.

gloomy hawk
#

basically

#

i want it to instantly be used on my weapon

#

when i press the hotkey

plucky nymph
#
#showtooltip
/use Instant Poison iii
/use 16
---------------
#showtooltip
/use Instant Poison iii
/use 17
#

Those are reeeeeeeeally basic.

#

or get an addon, though I dunno about those working atm.

#

Poisoner MIGHT be working > _>

#

will check

#
Weapon 1 (16)
/use [nomod] instant poison VI
/use [mod:alt] mind-numbing poison
/use [mod:ctrl] deadly poison VI
/use 16
/click StaticPopup1Button1

Weapon 2 (17)

/use [nomod] crippling poison
/use [mod:alt] deadly poison VI
/use [mod:ctrl] instant poison VI
/use 17
/click StaticPopup1Button1

Should also work, though you would have to update the ranks according to your current ranks.

#

Nope, Poisoner doesn't work as is.

gloomy hawk
#

thanks

dusk crystal
#

anyone know how to say go to retail as horde to ally PepeLaugh

errant timber
#

if you were curious what energy tick WA look like on live

#

lmao

plucky nymph
#

lol

errant timber
#

regens just a tad faster

gloomy hawk
#

where can we get

#

flash powder

errant timber
#

Shady dealers in cities.

#

Can also make it with fadeleaf after like 35

old stone
#

blinding powder is from fadeleaf, flash powder is just vendor or pickpocket boxes

verbal tiger
#

for rogues is strength = 1 point of attack power?

exotic trellis
#

yes

verbal tiger
#

where do i get the item to pick door in deadmines?

#

thieves tool or something

bitter talon
#

You can get blinding powder aswell from pickpocketing mobs, sometimes it drops out of the lockboxes you can get from them

versed cedar
#

@verbal tiger rogue stuff vendor

verbal tiger
#

thanks, also is it like a one time use thing? will it disappear after i use it

exotic trellis
#

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

versed cedar
#

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

winged crystal
#

you get the tools from doing the lock pick rogue quest, it's free

tough tartan
#

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

winged crystal
#

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

tough tartan
#

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

verbal tiger
#

is the black defias 5set worth getting?

#

will it last a while

vocal hornet
#

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.

ornate laurel
#

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?

loud tree
#

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

ornate laurel
#

Can those build use swords?

loud tree
#

hemo can, yeah

#

subtlety

ornate laurel
#

How hard is it to switch specs often in classic?

vocal hornet
#

very expensive.

#

it runs up to 50g. as a Priest I would flip holy to shadow and back. Thats 100g

ornate laurel
#

Is there a build that is very powerful for pvp and pve

vocal hornet
#

rogues probably wont have to switch nearly as often though

ornate laurel
#

I have been learning combat and I enjoy the spec, but people keep telling me I cant pvp in that spec

loud tree
#

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

winged crystal
#

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

ornate laurel
#

Understandable

loud tree
#

yeah, it sucks feelscryman

winged crystal
#

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.

ornate laurel
#

Well my guild.wants me on combat swords for.raiding, and I very much like that build. I guess my pvp dream is dead.

winged crystal
#

i'm not even planning to raid and I still can't decide if I want to drop combat

ornate laurel
#

I wonder what honor rank I could get using the pve build

shadow tapir
delicate stone
#

RIGHT?

ornate laurel
#

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?

shadow tapir
#

Master of Cheese probably knew about it all those years!

winged crystal
#

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

plucky nymph
#

Taking Sword Spec early is a big ol fat nono

winged crystal
#

yeah it's not even in my leveling path, I was just being clear lol

ornate laurel
#

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.

delicate stone
#

Hemo was viable in pvp with something like 4k attack power iirc.

plucky nymph
#

There are pages that you can scroll through.

winged crystal
#

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

plucky nymph
#

But nothing contextual.

ornate laurel
#

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

loud tree
#

doo itt! i'll have two rogues eventually

winged crystal
#

is anyone out there leveling without combat? going into sub or is literally everyone combat?

loud tree
#

my next rogue i'm gonna go slow and mess around with sub probably

winged crystal
#

i really miss actually using stealth effectively 🤣

ornate laurel
#

Should I just make a second orc for my pvp rogue. Or undead?

loud tree
#

same lol stealth is just fun to me

winged crystal
#

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

loud tree
plucky nymph
#

UD > Orc :3

winged crystal
#

i went UD feelsloveman

loud tree
#

fem orc feelsloveman

winged crystal
#

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

loud tree
#

winged crystal
#

it'll be awhile before i'm 60 and specing again

errant timber
#

1 g and then 5g

winged crystal
#

oh shit...

loud tree
#

better get to gold farmin

winged crystal
#

def not worth at my lvl

#

I have 5g to my name at lvl 26

ornate laurel
#

I want to make pvp work with the raid build somehow.

winged crystal
#

you just can't. you can have a build that is decent at both, but not exceptional at both

vocal hornet
#

SND is a very anti climactic pvp spender

#

and rupture is a raid nono

winged crystal
#

i'd rather expose armor than SND in pvp

vocal hornet
#

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

winged crystal
#

i have that advantage of I don't plan on raiding lol

vocal hornet
#

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.

winged crystal
#

it's so handy for caves and stuff

#

but yeah... that's why i'm back on the fence about specing

ornate laurel
#

Im also on the knife throw SS strat xD

sly valve
#

Same

gloomy hawk
#

the throw knife

#

#

felt so clunky

i hate how it counts by charges

#

but i guess this macro helps

#

is there an addon that could show combo points on top of health bar ?

plucky nymph
#

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.

bold prawn
#

im trying to find some info on poison is there any?

#

what to use

plucky nymph
#

Instants unless you have WF in group

bold prawn
#

what is wf D:

#

also instant in both or?

plucky nymph
#

Windfury Totem from Shaman.

#

Instant on both for DPS, only on OH if you have a 32+ Shaman in your group.

bold prawn
#

okay thanks for the info!

winged crystal
#

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

bold prawn
#

how do u deal with the level 20 rogue quest do u just do it later?

#

seems like u cant solo this shit

winged crystal
#

it's easier at 22, or you need help

bold prawn
#

yea thought so

#

cant beat the guy at the top

winged crystal
#

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

bold prawn
#

it was fine to get to the top but the last guy hurts

#

killed me in like 4 melees

winged crystal
#

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

bold prawn
#

damn

#

well yea i dont play dagger specc

#

maybe i should

winged crystal
#

neither do I lol

#

but I had one in my OH so I swapped for that

bold prawn
#

ah

winged crystal
#

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

dusty raven
#

can rogues tank low level dungeons?

bold prawn
#

@winged crystal would this technique work solo?

winged crystal
#

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

shadow tapir
#

He should be vulnerable to backstab also according to the journal

winged crystal
#

if you can get the gouge off, ltos of mobs that much higher than you will resist them

#

or bring a buddy!

latent summit
#

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).

winged crystal
#

I use tell me when

#

very configurable

latent summit
#

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.

winged crystal
#

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"

latent summit
#

ok maybe try that just that I love WA for other stuff... but maybe 1 addon more couldnt hurt 😉

winged crystal
#

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

sly valve
#

@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.

sharp grotto
#

I mean the quest you had to kill a couple tho?

shadow tapir
#

You don't have to kill anything, Alliance side at least

sharp grotto
#

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

shadow tapir
#

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

sharp grotto
#

There was ones we had to kill on horde side

shadow tapir
#

That sucks : /

latent summit
#

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.

sly valve
#

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

shadow tapir
#

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

sly valve
#

Yeah, I had to be quick

#

I did it naked because I knew I'd die a couple of times at least

red badger
#

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

plucky sparrow
#

@sly valve 😂 naked, that me chuckle

exotic trellis
#

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

tough pilot
#

Yup I've had honestly 0 issue with PvP lately as sword combat. (51 here)

slender storm
#

Hemo is just fun as shit and “good enough” for most dungeons

turbid orchid
#

Is it still hemo swords or w daggers

exotic trellis
#

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

turbid orchid
#

I think imma do the swords build then, I’m having a blast.

sly valve
#

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

jolly walrus
#

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?

exotic trellis
#

14 AP=1 DPS, 1 agi=1 AP plus some crit.

#

idk exactly what it is but

jolly walrus
#

so in almost every case weapon dps will be valued higher?

exotic trellis
#

yes

#

white damage is like 50% of your DPS

jolly walrus
#

nice, I take it there's no way to sim or get stat weights yet?

exotic trellis
#

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

cerulean elm
idle cedar
#

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

cerulean elm
#

yea wasnt sure either :S

jolly walrus
#

@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

idle cedar
#

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?

plucky nymph
#

No no no no Yes No No, the swords and the talent are better.

idle cedar
#

Shame - kinda like the daggers playstyle, but best is best (and I don't hate swords or anything, just high crit backstab feels good)

exotic trellis
#

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

drowsy phoenix
#

exotic trellis
#

yea just steal ironfoe off of a warrior

idle cedar
#

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

plucky nymph
#

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)_/¯

idle cedar
#

I mean I'll have loot priority in the guild I'm in currently

but y'know, optimizing drops for everyone

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

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

civic crest
#

Didn’t some dude farm for 7 hours

latent summit
#

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.

ruby bridge

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?

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

verbal tiger
#

how is it that my mainhand poison runs out quicker when its a slow 1 hander

cursive ridge
#

Because instant attacks are also attacks

#

Is Garrote -> 1pt Rupture -> Sinister Strike -> 1pt SND a good opener for grinding mobs while leveling?

latent summit
#

@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

ornate laurel
#

If you never plan to raid and only want to focus on pvp, wouldnt you lose to.people who have raid gear?

cursive ridge
#

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)

ornate laurel
#

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

latent summit
#

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.

ornate laurel
#

I would have never mained rogue if I knew my pve spec is not viable at all for pvp. Makes.me sad

latent summit
#

MC spec wont last that long though tbh

ornate laurel
#

?

cursive ridge
#

What do you mean by MC spec

latent summit
#

Combat/swords

cursive ridge
#

Wasnt that still strong in BWL

latent summit
#

Bwl+ dagger time

cursive ridge
#

really

#

how so

#

the larger availability of crit gear?

latent summit
#

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

sly shuttle
#

What about his for pvp/pve/leveling ?

latent summit
#

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 😉

ornate laurel
#

I want to go the best version of pve raid combat swords and still be able to do well in pvp

latent summit
#

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...

ornate laurel
#

How much would cost to respec between each raid every week

latent summit
#

Caps out at 50g/respec

wraith parcel
#

50g each respec, so 100g a week

#

Which is not recommended at all

latent summit
#

It goes down every week but not if you keep respecing

#

It would honestly be a better idea to have 2 chars :p

ornate laurel
#

That brings me back to my original worry, if I have a rogue just for pvp its gear would suck

latent summit
#

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 😉

ornate laurel
#

I guess I just wont pvp

cursive ridge
#

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)

latent summit
#

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

trail zephyr
#

what about a combat spec with some of the sub pvp telents? monkahmm

#

I'm starting to level in contested zones and that's what ive been considering

like taking master of deception, camoflage, imp sprint

verbal tiger
#

is remorseless attacks useless while leveling

feel like i rarely crit

#

what level are you and main spec?

#

it's worth it to use up the last few at a higher level

yeah not worth it til you already gone deep combat

How are people building for pvp? Dagger wise

I’ve built like 4 different ways and can’t decide

gritty goblet
#

@sharp grotto anything rogue destroys tbh lol

#

it's a matter of taste

sharp grotto
#

I know lol

#

I played back in day as mace / hemo lol

gritty goblet
#

i live for big numbers on my screen so obv imp sprint daggers

sharp grotto
#

And ambush builds

gritty goblet
#

@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

sharp grotto
#

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

gritty goblet
#

dodge imo, you're gonna pull for backstabs alot anyways while chasing for their backs

sharp grotto
#

yea

#

so many ways to actually build it lol

gritty goblet
#

so there's no fear of overcapping

sharp grotto
#

i wish there wasnt 5 MoD and 5 Camo slots for amx

#

max

gritty goblet
#

yeah mod/camo tradeoff is meh

sharp grotto
#

and do you go imp sap? sometimes i do sometimes i dont haha

gritty goblet
#

i ignore mod and go imp sap ye

sharp grotto
#

its nice for when theres muiltiple people but then it dont matter when just 1v1

#

MoD is more important in 1v1 imho

#

lol

gritty goblet
#

maybe, i remember playing on pservers and it only mattered vs rogues tbh

sharp grotto
#

and druids

#

ferals have higher stealth than rogues

gritty goblet
#

druids omegalul

sharp grotto
#

what do you think about hieghtened senses?

#

of course its only good against rogues also

gritty goblet
#

yeah pretty much, i dont take it

sharp grotto
#

does murder from assas affect players?

#

or just mobs

gritty goblet
#

players too

#

but you can even pick imp expose if you do cs/expose openers on warriors for instance

sharp grotto
#

eh i never liked that to much... against wars i played the bleed out game

gritty goblet
#

yeah, idk how alot of ppl say warriors beat rogues in vanilla

may swap that MoD to 2/3 of sap

gritty goblet
#

looks ok but i doubt 1 point in mod makes a big difference

#

might as well use it somewhere else more impactful

#

like sap

sharp grotto
#

yea

gritty goblet
#

or dirty deeds

#

id never leave 1/2 dirty deeds

sharp grotto
#

well you cant have CB with that

#

and just 10 cheaper is nice

#

20 is better but 100% crit is better than 10 energy

gritty goblet
#

yeah, if you wanna play cb that's fine, personally i play imp sprint no cb

#

and it never betrayed me

sharp grotto
#

you dont like serated blade?

gritty goblet
#

nah

#

sure it was a tougher time against warriors

sharp grotto
#

bc i think if i didnt take CB

#

i would go down into Deadliness

gritty goblet
#

nah, that's a bit of a waste

sharp grotto
#

6% AP is nice

#

its more dmg output than imp sprint

#

but its playstyle

gritty goblet
#

well, just think about how useful imp sprint actually is

#

mega useful lol

sharp grotto
#

eh it is against mages mainly

gritty goblet
#

hunters, shammies, druids

#

we're also talking about slows

sharp grotto
#

yea i know

#

but shams not AS much bc they arent getting away from you either

gritty goblet
#

idk, i just feel with this spec and the amount of crits

#

i never lacked dmg

#

for me to go into more ap

sharp grotto
#

yea like we said at the start theres literally SOOOO many ways to play rogue lol

gritty goblet
#

yeah for sure

#

i just showed you what i like and why

#

😄

sharp grotto
#

yea and im just talkin

#

i like the back and forth discussions for views

red badger
#

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

gritty goblet
#

depends what you mean pvp oriented

red badger
#

like hemo I guess. Or the spec you linked

gritty goblet
#

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

red badger
#

yeah I'm thinking about going cold blood hemo but I don't know how terrible that would be in pve

gritty goblet
#

sounds pretty bad to me 😄

red badger
#

I figured as much

gritty goblet
#

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

red badger
#

yeah I don't want that respec cost haha

gritty goblet
#

imo if you're not min maxing it shouldn't really matter

#

play whatever

#

pure pve specs are ahead but never by too much

red badger
#

yeah I just wonder how far behind something like that would be

gritty goblet
#

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

brisk merlin
#

How much is the second respec?

broken pollen
#

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

gritty goblet
#

what's PP?

#

lmao

plucky nymph
#

@gloomy hawk It puts whatever modifier that you press "first".

delicate stone
#

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.

sharp grotto
#

i hate blizzard servers.... lol just getting wrecked atm

#

dont use SnD

#

dont use rupture

#

just SS /. evis

#

lol

next hound
#

servers back down?

delicate stone
#

Is that word of mouth or was something tested?

sharp grotto
#

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

delicate stone
#

Hm. I'm kinda suspicious about that. Where are 'they' getting that from?

sharp grotto
#

"they"?

#

i just said i am doing it

delicate stone
#

"hell most guilds tell you to not even train it atm"

sharp grotto
#

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*

delicate stone
#

Which guide are you referring to?

sharp grotto
#

says "start using SnD after rank 2"

plucky nymph
#

blizzard/region getting ddos'd
ihatetheirservers

sharp grotto
#

which is like 40

#

says use after rank 2 in the 40-60 range

#

and only tailer in SnD depoending on fight length

plucky nymph
#

Just EVI things.

sharp grotto
#

thats what i was telling him

#

unless you open with SnD into SS into evis

plucky nymph
#

Especially later on when you get higher ranks of EVI O _O

sharp grotto
#

but wasting the cbs is pointless

delicate stone
#

Finding an energy ticker and swing timer are next on the list.

sharp grotto
#

the WA ones are nice

plucky nymph
#

If you're not 60 or Sword Spec I wouldn't bother with a Swing Timer yet.

sharp grotto
#

atleast sword spec... but even then i dont see any difference in havin git... i cant tell a single difference

plucky nymph
#

Without more testing I wouldn't write it off entirely.

noble belfry
#

do you guys think the stormshrouds gear is worth farming?, got no agi so im not sure if its good

sharp grotto
#

its not worth compared to other pre raid items

#

but im sure uable

#

usable

noble belfry
#

im level 47~ so i could farm it passive and get it with 50

#

sound good

plucky nymph
#

I mean it looks nice and it's good leveling gear.

delicate stone
#

I mostly want the swing timer to get experience using it and finding a good position for it later. May as well start now.

plucky nymph
#

Plenty of WA that do that then, and 1-2 popular addons.

errant timber
#

you can very easily make a swing wa

delicate stone
#

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.

trail zephyr

just got sentry cloak off random mob

#

NOT BAD

subtle parcel

I can't get into the damn gam

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

#

hate elite quest lol....

#

have like 4 in arathi with noone to help

noble sonnet
#

For leveling combat swords, is it worth having a weapon swap macro for using Ambush in stealth or is Garrote / Cheap Shot generally better?

plucky nymph
#

CS probably better

turbid orchid
#

garrote/cs depending

#

can you make combat work for pvp or is sub daggers the go to

#

Maces wasnt busted yet iirc,

hidden basin
#

do you guys sell medium leather on ah or nah just vendor it?

plucky nymph
#

vendor

turbid orchid
#

I uh.. dont remember sap knocking me outta stealth

#

huh

sharp grotto
#

lol yea

#

have to spec into it now

turbid orchid
#

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.

plucky nymph
#

What.

turbid orchid
#

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

spice moss
#

is there a consensus on which sword goes in MH highest dps vs highest top end dmg?

trail zephyr
#
  1. Make bank alt #1
#
  1. Send items you unsure about
#
  1. When you bored relog to bank alt
#
  1. Check AH price
#
  1. If negligible then vendor
#
  1. If not then list and forget
#
  1. Relog to main
#
  1. Cast SS
#
  1. Repeat

Is there a Tell Me When profile I can import?

plucky nymph

#

yooooo

#

what quest

verbal tiger
#

which is better questie or zygor questing addon

hushed laurel
#

picked up the ravager on my warrior today. man, dont care how bad it is it feels friggen great

loud tree
#

spin 2 win

hushed laurel
#

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

daring thunder
#

its better than ww axe for dungeons outside of st bosses

#

and bonebiter is better than ww axe

sharp grotto
#

Ayy got 38 on rogue lol...

plucky nymph
errant timber
#

what lvl picking is that

plucky nymph
#

What level what?

#

Was from a chest > _> but I got it while leveling lockpicking.

gloomy hawk
#

what is max

#

300?

plucky nymph
#

Yeah

#

It's

plucky nymph
drowsy phoenix
#

yeah uh

#

instant poison IV is a bitch to pay for

loud tree
#

that immersion is expensive

dull pilot
#

what enchants are people putting on Thrash Blade?

#

fiery?

gloomy hawk
#

is instant poison

#

better than deadly poison?

loud tree
#

love my trash blade PirateHeart

#

yeah, instant poison is the way to go for the most part

hidden basin
#

For a raiding rotation, do you keep rupture on 100% of the time like it was in TBC?

fossil steeple
#

you dont use rupture cause of debuff slot limit

#

same reason you dont use deadly poison

worldly juniper
#

hey guys is sword spec proc main hand only?

drowsy phoenix
#

main hand is the one that's affected by your abilities

#

offhand can just do offhand things and if it procs it procs

winged crystal
#

so i log in just now and i'm not able to move my unit frames, default unit frames UI

sharp grotto
#

@plucky nymph where you lvling your picking?

winged crystal
#

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?

latent summit
#

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.

sharp grotto
#

Just go LW and improve your gear as you lvl and dungeons / quest will give weapons and rings and shit

verbal tiger
#

where can i buy throwing weapons in stormwind

cerulean idol
#

I switched to dagger spec for leveling. Mistakes have been made. Now I can’t afford respec! Fml

gloomy hawk
#

dagger can be good

#

for lvling

#

if you use backstab often

cerulean idol
#

I’m only level 16 I’m sure it gets better with ambush and what not

gloomy hawk
#

yea

dark lion
#

Energy pool>gouge>backstab works at low levels

latent summit
#

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.

sly valve
#

I leveled up doing gouge/backstab until I got decent swords. Worked really well.
