Check out our rogue leveling guide 1-60 on Wowisclassic to help you leveling faster. You'll find the best spec, best gear, addons, to be the first rogue to reach lvl 60!
Leveling as a rogue is not really quick, you’ll have some hard times but you’ll enjoy the END game content as a Rogue.
Indeed, rogue is one of the best classes for solo PVP (World PVP) thanks to the stealth ability.
However, In PvP, Rogues have an incredibly high skill cap, so be prepared to spend a lot of time mastering it.
In PVE, you are the 2nd TOP DPS class in raids, but you’ll face a lot of competition because rogue is generally the most played class in vanilla wow, so.. be patient and you'll get gear eventually.
Here is our selection of the best rogue races in wow classic for PvE or PvP.
Here are some tips to progress quickly during your leveling as rogue in classic wow.
At level 31 you will get your first point in Sword Specialization. This Extra Attack Proc will reset your swing timer so if you are about to attack again naturally and this procs the benefit will be wasted.
Let’s say you are auto attacking normally every 2.0 seconds. Your Sinister Strike normally doesn’t interfere with your auto attacks but due to this talent they can now proc the additional sword hit which would reset your swing timer potentially clipping into your normal auto attack cycle.
For this reason, from the point you get Sword Spec onwards you need to use Sinister Strike only after your main hand strike animation. This make it so if it procs off SS you won’t have much of a reset loss if anything at all.
Use the addon “Swing Timer” to be efficient with the talent Sword Specialization at lvl 31
You will learn how to craft poison at lvl 20. This ability allow rogues to coat their weapon, both on Mainhand and OffHand with poisons.
Instant Poison:
This is your DEFAULT Poison apply to both Weapons while leveling.
Deadly Poison:
More Damage > Instant Over Time, but DoT will take up a Debuff Slot.
Mind Numbing Poison:
Offhand in PvP against Casters.
Crippling Poison:
Use on both for PvP.
Notes About Poisons:
Faster Weapons do not always increase the rate at which you apply Poisons.
Instant and Wound Poison use a Proc Per Minute System (PPM).
This means that regardless of your weapon speed you will be doing the same damage with Poisons.
