    Introduction

    Greetings prospective Rogue, my name is Kargoz and I’ve been playing World of Warcraft for a long time. Starting my journey in late 2004, I’ve since leveled multiple classes to 60 on various Vanilla realms, including Nostalrius, Anathema, Zeth’kur, Lightbringer, and most recently on Northdale. I’ve learned through the years that leveling is probably my favorite aspect of the game, particularly speed leveling. The amazing thing about World of Warcraft: Classic is that leveling is a huge part of the overall experience!
    In order to ensure accuracy I consulted as many reputable players as I could including Taladril, Holx, Dis, AnoobiStu, Kamlanaut, Scylla, Chaboi, and especially Twitch Streamer DarealMarkyMark! My sincerest thanks to everyone who contributed something to this project, your collective understanding of all things Rogue was invaluable. I am thrilled to present this Comprehensive Rogue Leveling Guide for World of Warcraft 1.12!

    Class Overview

    Rogues are generally considered to be Tier 3 levelers and are one of the slowest classes to level in Classic WoW. Other than Sprint every 5 minutes, Rogues don’t have any movement boosting abilities or talents, and reducing Travel Time is possibly the biggest factor when it comes to increasing leveling speed.
    With no self healing, medium armor, no pet to mitigate damage, and no kiting method similar to the Warrior’s Hamstring Method or Shaman’s Earthbind Kiting Method, Rogue’s have to facetank most of the damage directed at them. This makes leveling a bit tricky as you have to be calculated and precise with your pulls and always have reagents so you can escape through Vanish or Blind.
    However, Rogue’s have incredibly high ST damage and have a wide arsenal of tools at their disposal. In PvP, Rogues are an incredibly high skill cap class that can out finesse nearly every other class in the game. Also with regard to leveling, one of the most beautiful things about Classic WoW is that every class without exception is capable of leveling way faster than the vast majority of the playerbase; it just takes dedication and expertise.

    Rogue Specific Tips

    The mark of a good Rogue player is efficient use of finishers. Use good judgement to not overkill mobs but not underwhelm them either.
    Gouge + Bandage is your bread and butter heal mid combat.
    You can time Vanish to Disjoint (avoid) most spells.
    Don’t use Deadly Poison in PvP because it can break your Blind / Gouge.
    Don’t let Slice and Dice fall off a target 42+ (Rank 2 SnD).
    Sap can’t be used in combat and will break your stealth unless talented.
    Buy Fadeleaf in bulk at a good price when you can for Blind.
    From 47+ try to pay for a Maraudon run from a Hunter to get Blackstone Ring and Thrash Blade.
    At levels 53 and 55 try to purchase Devilsaur Gauntlets + Leggings.
    Ideally you want a slower Main Hand Weapon and a faster Off Hand Weapon for faster Poison application.
    Use Rupture on longer fights against targets such as Bosses or Elites with High Armor.
    Expose Armor overrides Sunder Armor so it is often a waste of CP.
    Do your Thistle Tea Lvl 20 Rogue Class Quest ASAP
    At Lvl 38 go to Badlands and do the Quest “This is Going to be Hard” for Nifty Stopwatch movement speed boosting trinket.

    Dual Wielding: Rogues vs. Warriors

    Why is it viable for Rogues to Dual Wield but Warriors are strongly discouraged from Dual Wielding while leveling?
    “It is perfectly fine for a Rogue to Dual Wield from Level 10+, because your energy generation does not depend on auto attack hits. The reason people tell Warriors not to DW until higher levels is they need rage which is generated primarily from auto attacks, and DWing reduces hit chance from 5% to miss an equal level to 19%”.

    Glancing Blows

    Importance of Weapon Skill by ul1984
    Glancing Blow Chance
    Players have a chance to perform a glancing blow against mobs equal to 10% plus 2% per point of difference between attack rating and defense. Non-melee classes level 30 and higher have a 60% chance to glancing blow. Non-melee classes from level 11 to level 29 have a (level - 10) * 3% chance of a glancing blow. As noted above, your maximum attack rating in this formula is 5 times your level. A mob's Defense skill is equal to its level * 5.
    This formula means that, for a level 60 player with fully trained weapon skill, 30% of all white-damage melee attacks will be Glancing Blows against level 62 mobs, and 40% of all white-damage melee attacks will be Glancing Blows against level 63 mobs.
    The presence of your weapon skill in this formula, rather than just your level, explains why training up a newly-acquired weapon skill against mobs close to your own level results in many, many Glancing Blows at first.
    Glancing Blow damage Reduction
    The damage of a glancing blow is complicated. It starts by calculating the difference of Defense minus attack rating. This is then used to calculate a minimum and maximum damage factor. The actual damage factor is then randomized between these two values. The low value starts at 1.3 - 0.05 * rating difference. If the attacker is a caster then this is reduced by 0.7 more. The smaller value of this and 0.6 is kept as the low end. If the attacker is a melee class then instead the lower value of 0.91 and (1.3 - 0.05 * rating difference) is used for the low. Regardless, the low end will not go below 0.01.
    The high end of the range starts at 1.2 - 0.03 * rating difference. Casters are reduced a further 0.3. The high value regardless of class is kept between 0.2 and 0.99.
    The average reduction from a glancing blow is therefore (high + low) / 2 using the formulae above. This gives a level 60 player, with fully trained but otherwise unbuffed weapon skill, a 15% damage reduction with all Glancing Blows against level 62 mobs, and a 35% damage reduction with all Glancing Blows against level 63 mobs.
    Unlike the chances of getting a glancing blow, the player's weapon skill is not capped at level * 5 in the damage reduction formula. With +5 weapon skill, a level 60 player attacking a level 63 NPC will see the same amount of glancing blows (40%), but only 15% damage reduction. With +10 weapon skill, the damage reduction becomes a negligible 5%.

    Poisons

    Poisons are a Class Profession learned by Rogues at level 20 by way of a Questline. This ability allow Rogues to coat their weapons, both Mainhand and Offhand with Poisons.
    “When a weapon coated with Poison strikes an enemy, it has % chance of applying damage or a debuff based on which poison was applied”.
    Poisons are a core aspect of Rogue gameplay and the Class quest should not be skipped despite how challenging it can be solo.

    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.
    Instant Poison:
    This is your DEFAULT Poison apply to both Weapons while leveling.
    Mind Numbing Poison:
    Offhand in PvP against Casters.
    Deadly Poison:
    More Damage > Instant Over Time
    But DoT will take up a Debuff Slot.
    Crippling Poison:
    Use on both for PvP.

    Useful Addons

    Swing Timer <- Click for Link to Addon
    Every melee class should have a timer that tracks both your attacks and your enemies attacks. This is important because you will need to weave both movement and abilities between cooldowns in your autos to prevent clipping into animations and missing damage.
    Energy Tracker <- Click for Link to Addon
    Addon that tracks ticks in your energy regeneration.
    XP / Hr Tracker <- Click for Link to Addon
    Track your leveling efficiency with precision. You will have insights such as EPH (XP / Hour), EPM (XP / Minute), and Average XP per kill.
    Outfitter <- Click for Link to Addon
    Addon allows you to swap gear back and forth easily.
    This is useful for switching into your Spirit Set
    between combat to reduce regeneration downtime.

    Combat Swords

    Swing Timer Importance Lvls 31+
    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.

    Talent Builds

    Talent Build #1: Combat Swords

    Pros: More Practical. Decent in PvP. Less APM Intensive (Actions per Minute). Better Weapon Progression.
    Cons: Considerably Less Damage.

    Start in Combat Tree:
    2/2 Imp. Sinister -> 3/3 Imp. Gouge -> 5/5 Deflection -> 1/1 Riposte -> 5/5 Precision -> 4/5 Dual Wield Spec -> 1/1 Blade Flurry -> 5/5 Dual Wield Spec -> 4/5 Sword Spec -> 2/2 Weapon Expertise -> 5/5 Sword Spec -> 1/3 Aggression -> 1/1 Adrenaline Rush
    Proceed into Assassination Tree:
    2/2 Remorseless Attacks -> 3/5 Malice -> 2/2 Murder -> 1/3 Imp. Slice -> 5/5 Lethality -> 5/5 Imp. Poisons

    Stat Priority

    Agility -> Strength = Stamina -> Spirit -> Intellect
    Strength (often abbreviated STR) has the following effects:

    Increases attack power with melee weapons, Rogues gain 1 melee attack power per point of strength.
    Agility (often abbreviated AGI) has the following effects:
    Increases attack power with both melee and ranged weapons by 1 for each point of Agility. Increases chance to score a critical hit with a weapon. You gain 1% critical chance increased for each 29 points of agility. Also increase your Armor and Chance to Dodge.
    Intellect: Increases the rate at which you level up weapon skill.
    Spirit: Increases your Out of Combat Health Regeneration rate.
    Note:* Spirit is most beneficial on classes that can’t self heal. It is a good idea on any class to keep a few pieces or even a Spirit Set in your bags and to swap with Outfitter between pulls.
