Hi, good .  Carefully choosing the class that best suits your needs is quite important when playing World of Warcraft. If you are considering a rogue, a WoW rogue guide may be just what you need to decide if one is right for you.

Rogues may be a member of the following races: Blood Elf, Dwarf, Gnome, Human, Night Elf, Orc, Troll, or Undead. One factor to bear in mind before choosing your race is to identify each race’s traits and how they match the rogue’s abilities.

Equipment available to the rogue includes Cloth and Leather. Available weapons are Daggers and Thrown weapons. With further training, the rogue may also utilize:

• Bows
• Crossbows
• Fist Weapons
• Guns
• Maces
• Swords

It is certainly not exclusive information to this WoW rogue guide that this class is immensely popular. The number of rogues per server doesn’t lie. Maybe this popularity stems from the melee, meaning close-range fighting ability of this class. Their damage per second, or DPS, falls right alongside the Warrior and Death Knight. Be aware, however, that rogues have no healing ability and are limited to Cloth and Leather, so the potential is there to suffer some damage as well.

Rogues also excel in the department of stealth as well, making it their most important class advantage. Other players cannot see one unless he is very close. Agility is the rogue’s most crucial attribute. Rogues prefer agility to strength, thus increasing their DPS.

Amongst the rogue’s skills is the ability to create poisons, which when coupled with the high amount of damage they inflict, makes them desirable battle companions in groups. They are admirable on their own, too. Groups are also attracted to rogues due to their ability to pick locks and disarm traps.

Furthermore, rogues have some issues managing monster hate / aggro, so they will sometimes take hits that the tank is supposed to absorb. The tank is there to withstand the damage; the rogue is there to dish it out. This isn’t to say that rogues cannot be used as tanks. They can, but rogue tanking is all about staying unhittable while maintaining aggro. This is not easy, but can be done.

Upon reaching Level 10, a rogue can become skilled at the dual wield. As mentioned earlier in this WoW rogue guide, this class prizes agility, so they cannot carry two- handed weapons or a shield. The dual wield is the best method by which to receive maximum stat buffs. This ability, however useful, increases the chances of missing with a weapon and hinders its damage ability.

Rogue talents are broken into the categories of assassination, combat, and subtlety.

Remember, when participating in a raid, others are depending on you. As previously mentioned, the rogue is quite adept at DPS in melee situations. With this comes the expectation of others that a rogue will bring enough potions, food, poisons, and bandages to the raid. Don’t make your fellow players angry.

This WoW rogue guide has provided you with a few things to mull over when considering a rogue as your class, so get ready to play World of Warcraft.  I therefore hope you have found this WoW Rogue Guide helpful.

All the best
