[Guide] How to Level a Rogue

Rogues are very unique. Stealth is the major difference that gives a Rogue its defining traits.

When leveling a Rogue you are given a choice, and its very clear stealth is the best.

Here be the spec -

Those are the power spikes at which you need to do when at the proper level. Now, the best thing to do is prepare for a very slow leveling adventure.

Rogue have the slowest grind, however Subtlety is the most efficient. It requires Ambush, which its strength is provided from the talents to level effectively.

Prepare for a vast majority of 1 vs 1 fights, since you are a Rogue that is the best option.

After a proper cycle of a few mobs you can be set to clear 3-5 mobs and then restore back to 100%.

Horde has absolutely the same Vanquisher's Sword from the same quest, which you take from Undercity.

And yeah, I too am sick of people continuously asking "OMG WHICH SPEC". Jesus christ, just read the talents and decide for yourself, guys... Why do you need to be handheld for the most individual part of the game - leveling?

Update with new links for specs given Openwow sends me to a non-available site?

Can You update links, please?

Just wanted to share my appreciation for a very well written guide. For the people who can't use talent links you can just cut the "talent#XXXXXXXX" part of the link and append them to https://wotlk.evowow.com/?

Actually, that doesn't work. That just redirects you to a blank talent page.

New guide, far simpler.

May i ask why you oversimplified the guide? It had a lot of little tips that helped me, a newbie rogue player, get a very good levelling experience.

Now there are no step by step talent builds and no tips about proper weapon choices and playstyle.

To be honest, if you wish fastest rogue experience just spec into subltely and your ambush gonna deal huge damage.

Well, im running a combat rogue build which was shown in this guide and i've never got any trouble questing. I got to lvl 40 in 2 days 5 hours and that's considering im new to WoTLK expansion and also spent time doing other things apart from questing
