Was thinking to start an alt a rogue but first wanted to ask you guys who are currently lvling, grinding or lately done that, so i hope i wont regret it i started and have issues with it. Are rogues easy to lvl and are they good at grinding/killing mobs with the CC they got?
 
rogues are the worst class to bot, I find it very hard to level a rogue when hitting the escort quest although that's not exactly fully working... also there's a mob..

tl;dr use heirlooms, need at least the weapons because you will come across bosses that the rogue isn't strong enough to beat at low levels.
 
Hey Giwin, well yeah i will get heirlooms, i was more concerned about it in general with the CC and stuff. Are there any known issues in CC that are making the questing/grinding dificult? Is it having a good rotation and dps? Is it doing combat without to be much obvious?
 
not that I know of but, most devs test on mages as even they say rogues are easily beaten so not sure but I don't remember encountering issues on rogue when it came to spells... i remember paladin not using Hammer of Justice on Vangash but apart from that Singular is very solid (it's been worked on for years now and I wouldn't try to replace it for a main questing CC).
 
Well i assume when you say easly beaten you must think if it fights some powerful mob/elite or gather few mobs at once because nowdays i don't believe 2 mobs during questing are much of an issue since classes are all buffed. How about warriors? Are they they good with aoe at higher lvls? Or if you already got experience and know good aoe class for questing/grinding and recommend me i will be very thankful.
 
I leveled a rogue by questing and bgbuddy in less than a week using [Public Release] TuanHA Rogue - The Ultimate Experience.

I did not use any heirlooms and it handled everything very well.
There were few times where I had to intervene.
Being a melee class and being somewhat squishy if you keep gear up to date it could be one of the fastest leveling classes I think (using this CC of course).
 
I will NEVER level a Rogue out of RaF or being boosted again.

Level 82 rogue, with over 4 days playtime... Pure questing... and a constant pain in the butt.
 
I leveled all classes (used Singular OFC) and from my experience, there are
- great ones (DK, pala, hunt) one shotting everything going trough quests like knife through butter
- good ones (everything else EXCEPT rogue)
- and than there is rogue, its miles behind in speed of leveling, and even worse it requires manual assist much more than other classes, its slow, painful, and very squishy experience (note i used only Singular didn't try TunHa but even when playing manually i was feeling too squishy so i dont think its about singular)
 
I recently completed leveling my rogue and like many other before me that have commented, it really isn't the smoothest character to bot with at all. If you are using Heirlooms set I guess you would probably do fine but slow still. I leveled mine without any and when the bot decide to go man mode and pull more than I can handle, my rogue usually dies. I remember questing in Eastern Plague Land and my character just constantly dies to 2 spell caster in a hut for hours till I check on him.

As for CC, I think it's more of profile-dependent and authors usually state which CC is best to use it with.
 
Rogues are best done with RAF, play by hand for levels 1-10 then boost via dungeons/grind spots or just raf boost up to 85 (99% of the level to 86) then grind mobs to 90.
Just make sure it can handle the mobs. :D
 
LMFAO! Rogues have been nerfed to shit bro, I recommend not playing one... You're better off making a DK to be your new main if that's all you played. Rogues are good as twinks at low level... Aside from that they need major updates, a 25-30k strike every 30seconds does not make for good dps let alone anything else...
 
I hated levelling my rogue which became abandoned in Outlands.

I remember back in the day there were issues with the CCs applying the poisons correctly. I guess the TuanHa CC now does it correctly though.

I also remember the damn quest hub off of Ratchet (the one with the pirates)... the rogue died horribly there. Actually the area is quite tough if you level fast and are under geared there. But for the Rogue, forget it, had to hand level that piece of crap there and was horrible.

All of that said, yeah it mostly worked. But goodness it is slower than any other class I have levelled -and I've done them all.
