Rogue Leveling Guide – Leveling up a rogue in WotLK

Rogue Leveling Guide

Rogues, like Hunters, are really easy to level up due to their high damage. With a well-equipped rogue, you can traverse all 80 levels. However, it is crucial to use the best talent build and the most suitable items to level up. Without these things, you will face constant irritation because your rogue will gain experience very slowly. Read my short rogue leveling guide and find out the best talent build to level up and the most important stats for your rogue.

Finding the perfect talent to level up rogues is one of the biggest challenges in World of Warcraft, which is why this rogue leveling guide is mostly about choosing the best talents. All three talent trees were designed to increase overall damage, so it’s hard to determine which one is best for leveling up. Nowadays, the Combat tree is the best talent tree to level up because the Combat tree provides the highest constant DPS. Even though we chose the Combat tree, your first talent should be Malice, which increases your critical hit chance. You can now start picking talents from the Combat tree, such as Dual Wield Specialization, Accuracy, Deflection, and Melee. Your next talent will be Blade Furry, which will allow you to kill multiple opponents at the same time, thus speeding up your XP gain. Vitality and Adrenaline Rush will slightly increase your energy regeneration. Surprise attacks are a real gem in the Combat tree, as they allow you to never miss a finishing move and provide a flat increase to your overall damage. The last talent in the Combat tree, Murder Spree, is another great talent, because with its help you will easily kill multiple opponents.

When choosing items for your rogue, your first priority should be to maximize damage. So the most important stat for your rogue is agility as it will increase your attack power, critical hit rating and dodge rating. Also, agility can be found in almost all leather goods. Critical hit rate and attack power are also important. On choosing the right weapon: Due to the dual wielding specialization, I recommend getting a very slow weapon for your main hand (a slower weapon means higher special attack damage) and a very fast one for your off hand.
