Rogues can be one of the easiest classes to level in the World of Warcraft.  They have stealth abilities and a slightly more sturdy build.  Their ability for stealth makes it easier for rogue characters to avoid trouble that other characters can get into, and they’re a good selection for first time players.

Rogues are great at dealing out damage, but unlike warriors that can wear heavier armour, and paladins that can heal themselves, rogues aren’t the best for head-to-head confrontations with big  mobs.  They’re a bit more fragile than other classes.

So know the class limitations – don’t use a Rogue to fight mobs, but use them against single targets where they are very effective..  Your character needs to deal out damage quickly, before taking too many hard hits, and the appropriate specs, weapons and armour can go a long way to helping a rogue survive.

Rogues can wear leather armor.  After they’ve advanced a number of levels they can also consider chain mail, but when deciding whether or not to go for a piece of armor, the amount of damage that the armor will keep off is only one of the things to consider. You should also look at how it will influence increasing your crit rating, agility, and stamina.

As well as  armour, choosing the correct weapons is pretty important. Using two daggers as a combat Rogue for example is a bad way to go.  Instead, it’s much better to pick  up sword specialization as soon as possible, and get one that’s fast and does higher damage.  A dagger in your offhand is OK.

 A Combat Rogue is the best path to go down for talent,  because of the consistently high damage you can met out.  Make sure you include Dual Wield Specialization, Precision, Vitality, Blade Furry, Adrenaline Rush and Murder Spree ! As mentioned earlier, it can be relatively hard for a rogue to survive – he can’t heal himself like a Paladin, and he’s not a warrior, so make sure that your character takes advantage of the classes special abilities – Vanish, Blind, Evasion – as much as possible. 

Some Tips

1. When you play with a group, make sure no-one sets their character to follow you when you’re sneaking up on opponents ( also remember your Vanish button ).
2. Find a good rogue leveling guide on the net and really use it the first time you level a Rogue.  There’s no point in wasting time grinding on things that others have already sorted out.
3. Remember to be sneaky ! It’s a part of a Rogue’s gameplay strategy and can be a great help in getting through a lot  of quests quickly. Use stealth to get to the boss of a camp without fighting all the way there.
4. As a rogue it’s a good thing to pick up skinning as a profession, and maybe then become a Master of Anatomy. To make money, learn enchanting so that after you sneak up and kill a boss, you can disenchant the stuff they drop.
