Every Wednesday, Chase Christian of Encrypted Text invites you to enter the world of shadows, as we explore the secrets and mechanics of the rogue class. This week, we talk about leveling a rogue from level 71 to level 80. Your goal is firmly in sight: your rogue is ready to being his or her assault upon the Lich King’s lands. With only a fleeting few levels between you and the level cap, these last few minutes are among the most important in your rogue’s development. With nearly every trick available and our DPS rotations fleshed out, your rogue will be feeling more and more like the level 80 you are about to become. All three talent trees are fairly viable for leveling, and so this is by far the most flexible period of the leveling process. As I mentioned in the last installment , experimenting with different specs, rotations, and playstyles will only become harder and harder to do once you reach level 80. During these important formative levels, max out your respect costs and give every build a fair shake. You’ll be a better rogue for it in the end.

Every Wednesday, Chase Christian of Encrypted Text invites you to enter the world of shadows, as we explore the secrets and mechanics of the rogue class. This week, we talk about leveling a rogue from level 51 to level 70. If you’ve ever leveled a rogue (or really any class) to 80 before, you know that there’s certain spots in the leveling curve that can get downright boring. We play like a “dual wielding warrior” far too often, preferring to simply walk up to enemies and Slice and Dice our way to a kill. Rogues have a variety of skills, but it seems like Sinister Strike is really the only one worth pushing. Where’s the fun in spamming one ability mindlessly until the enemy falls over from boredom? Luckily for us, all of that ends at level 50 and above. We receive some of our core abilities via our 41-point talents, and each spec becomes a completely different playstyle from what you’ve been using for the past 50 levels. In addition, we pick up some of the clutch PvP abilities that were added in TBC that allowed rogues to compete in the arena environment. To summarize: leveling a rogue just got real.

Every Wednesday, Chase Christian of Encrypted Text invites you to enter the world of shadows, as we explore the secrets and mechanics of the rogue class. This week, we talk about leveling a rogue, and why you should choose one for your next alt. I’ve heard a lot of statistics from various sources stating that the rogue population has been dwindling since Wrath of the Lich King was released. Whether our decline is due to former assassins deciding to try out the new death knights, or rogues simply moving on to greener pastures, we may never know. I do, however, know that there’s also a lot of newly minted rogues, working their way up through the levels and lowbie zones. And if there’s not, there should be! There’s a lot of fights that are absolutely amazing for rogues, with Yogg-Saron hard mode (no keeper) and Anub’Arak hard mode being two of the most prevalent and important encounters currently in the game. I have seen guilds beg their inactivate rogues to resubscribe with promises of gold, crafted epics, and endless heroic runs to gear them out. I know of a rogue on my server who went from newly 80 to better geared than myself in about a month with a ton of help from his guild and friends. Many of the world’s top guilds are looking for solid rogues to fill the shoes of those who have given up the mantle of shadows in the past year. We’ve also got a lot of new rerolls who are working on getting a new class to 80 for Cataclysm ’s upcoming release. I have been working on a guide for those rogues who are new to the class (and possibly the game) who are looking for tips and tricks for getting the most out of their roguish experience. I would also ask that any veterans or novice rogues alike add their own tips in the comments, if you’ve got a personal anecdote or bit of info that made your time leveling easier.

Every Wednesday, Chase Christian of Encrypted Text invites you to enter the world of shadows, as we explore the secrets and mechanics of the rogue class. This week, we talk about a few of the most common rogue macros in use today. Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve had the opportunity to play my rogue quite a bit more than I am typically able to. Brewfest and Onyxia have had me busy every night, helping my guild mates slay Coren Direbrew over and over again. I was able to pick up a Direbrew’s Shanker 2.0 , although it won’t see much use, it’s still nice to see one in my bank beside the previous versions. I captured this bit of a World of Logs parse from one of the Onyxia attempts, where I was able to my AoE combination macro: it’s a very deadly combination. Looking at numbers like these make me wonder if perhaps the great FoK nerf of 3.2.2 wasn’t as heavy-handed as it was made up to be. With a Vanish fix on the horizon for patch 3.3 (who’s PTR is coming “soon”) and the red-hot topic of ‘weapon swapping’ , I decided to do a bit of housecleaning and tidy up my macros and addons in anticipation.
