Rogue spec and CC?
- Thread starter Wirello
- Start date
I've got a 70 subtlety rogue. I alternately used FPSware Rogue and Singular to level to 60, just to see which I liked best. They're both okay, but nothing to write home about. I probably liked FPSware a little bit more. My girl was heirloomed with daggers, chest and shoulders so she didn't have many issues, but your mileage may vary.
At 60 I went to BGs with SwiNy's PVP Rogue CC and it is flat out awesome. It just skulks around stealthed and surprises people when I bot it with BGBuddy, although once in a while she decides to attack a group of about two dozen enemy troops (but that's BGBuddy, not PVP Rogue) and things don't go so well.
Sometimes I use LazyRaider or Combat Bot and move her around myself. Then it's even more fun. I can catch some clown standing around by himself in AV or AB admiring the scenery, then sneak up behind him, and rudely introduce myself. It's even more fun surprising healers who think they have it made standing back out of the fight. In WSG I like to surprise the flag carriers. Yep, subtlety rogue with PVP Rogue CC is a whole lot of fun.

Combat has always been the leveling spec of choice for most rogues because of recuperate and other combat specific items. Back when I leveled my rogue I used the Fpsware Rogue CC, but that was before it was updated by Hazard, and also before all these patches to WoW. It worked really well back then, and kept me alive through most scenarios, even an elite every now and then. Now though? I can't really suggest a CC for rogues. I only know the one mentioned above me, by swiny, for subtlety PvP. Pair it with Glue/HazzFace and it rips people apart.
I don't know if you'd want to spend money, but if you could afford it, I suggest getting Zygor's guides. I've used his talent specs for leveling each of my 20+ toons, and each build is really nice. They take into consideration that you're leveling, and they take the best path for your spec that will make leveling easier and more survivable. I don't remember the price, but back when I got mine it was something like $25, and that gives you a lifetime membership and lifetime updates with support.
Interesting you should bring up Zygor's guides. I use his talent specs for all my toons, instead of the Talented plugin. I just set it up to add the talent points automatically as my toon levels and away I go. If I want to play by hand (well sort of, using a CC and Combat Bot anyway), I can pick a leveling area from the guide and off I go for a while. There are usually alternatives in both Kalimdor and EK.
But seriously, Wirello, you could switch to Combat on your rogue and level up the rest of the way in Outlands and then Northrend and beyond. I just wanted to go all the way with Subtlety so I went BG's at around 60 (actually, now that I think about it, went to BG's at 58 because I hate Outland with a passion except for gathering). I got the 60 gear shortly thereafter and had way more than enough honor points at 70 to get the full 70 PVP gear with tons left over. If you AFK bot BGs it doesn't really take as long as you might think. And it sure beats Outland.
Now that I'm 70, with artisan flying, I will level up to around 77 or 78 with Archaeology Buddy, then BG to grab the 80 PVP gear, then BG my way to 85 saving up honor points for 85 PVP gear (Ruthless, I think it is). It's just the path I chose mostly because I want to PVP this subtlety rogue at the higher levels. It's really why I built her. She can also farm honor, and convert some of it to JP for heirlooms and such along the way.
Just some thoughts. Take them for whatever they may be worth.
