Rogue PVP Tips And Your Rogue PVP Build
By Cybil |
So you want to play some Rogue PvP?
Keep in mind that learning how to play a PvP Rogue is about more than slapping some poison on your blades and finding the perfect Rogue PvP build.
So here are some Rogue PvP tips to help you on your quest to bring pwnage to the battlefield.
A quick look at Rogue PvP builds
By level 80 your Rogue PvP build should be more or less figured out if you have done any PvP play at all. You can argue the case of just about any Rogue PvP build being viable, the only problem is finding the right level 80 Rogue PvP build for the type of play that you are doing.
Assassination is by far the most common of the Rogue PvP builds as most of the PvP fights you will be doing will be on uneven footing.
Combat is probably the second most widely used PvP build.
However, if you plan on doing Arena, duels, or other one on one PvP fighting, Subtlety is still a viable Rogue PvP build.
Some Rogue PVP tips for success
Once you have figured out the subtle differences between Rogue PvP builds and have chosen the one that is right for your playing style, there are still a lot of things to learn about how to PvP a Rogue.

Here are some of the basic Rogue PvP tips to keep in mind as you head out to battle:
- Know how to re-stealth – out of all the Rogue PvP tips that you are going to come across, the best ones involve using your Rogue PvP skills to the max.
Stealthing is one strength that Rogues have that should be considered a valuable weapon.
So learn how to use it wisely and how to get back to it quickly.
You can re-stealth by:
o Blinding an opponent and leaving combat
o Using Kidney Shot or Gouge or otherwise crippling your opponent and then running away (use Sprint if you need to) until you are out of combat
o Using Vanish - Watch your energy bar – if you run out of energy then you won’t be able to do any real damage against the enemy.
So make sure that you know how much you have left and how much you need to do that true burst DPS - Don’t get tunnel vision – this is particularly important when you are learning how to use your PVP Rogue in Arena play.
Make sure that you not only know what is going on in your personal fight, but also what your teammates are up to. They may need your help. - Know who to attack and when – many Rogue guides will give you general Rogue PvP tips on how to fight the various classes, but you also need to know when to use them.
You cannot face a Warrior head on unless you are on a suicide mission, and playing the “will my energy outlast the healer’s mana pool?” game will often be a losing battle.
You’re a Rogue, so act like it – attack healers when they are out of mana, go for the weak and crippled players, and use your Rogues PvP skills to the max.
Hope these simple Rogue PvP tips help you bring on the Rogue pwnage!
