Leveling A Rogue

I made another rogue yesterday. Part of the reason is because I was bored. The other part is that I wanted to see how it would be like to play one with all BoA/heirloom gear. So I deleted by noob hunter to make room, grabbed all the heirloom gear I needed then made my toon. Note that I already had the chest, shoulders and trinkets courtesy of my other alts so I didn’t need to spend much. It was just about getting the daggers, really. Getting them enchanted proved to be a somewhat of a challenge because the formula required Timbermaw rep but I managed to find someone who did them for me without draining me dry.

My intent was to document his leveling progress but frankly, I’m having too much fun to pause the game do all that so it’s just going to end up as snippets of what I did in this area, then the next, etc., etc. I made several screenshots  to chronicle the experience and all I can say is that it’s been fun so far. The extra hit I’m getting from the gear is making it really easy to kill mobs and I find myself pulling one after the other just to make things interesting. I still can’t pull them en masse because I don’t have an AoE but taking them on in quick succession isn’t bad at all. Although I’m wielding dual daggers I chose to level as Combat until I have enough points to get Mutilate. Actually, I’m thinking about maybe holding off until I can get Precision because the extra hit is always useful. I guess I’ll think about it when I get there.

    I’ve been levelling a rogue on another server for laughs (female dwarf rogue, aiming for subtlety!). Even without heirlooms, the experience of running a rogue up to 80 combined with the changes to the early rogue experience have made for a fast, easy levelling experience. It’s the little things:
    * Understanding how stealth works and its limitations
    * Understanding how combo points and finishers work
    * Dual Wield
    * Max speed in Stealth
    * fine-grained energy regen

    It’s such a joy, now, to level a rogue. :D
