the stky Don''t try to play your rogue

TherionSaysWhat, Assassin Rejt wrote:Read the stky. Don't try to play your rogue like a pally. Two very differentlasses (I have one eh at 80) whh play very differently. Learn to love single-target burns while the mob is stunned. It's a bit slower early but oe you getheap Shot things start to pk up. Stealth, stun, build up someombo points and finish is the most bas pattern for rogues. Multle pulls are a bad idea until later on in the leveling press and should be avoided. The point is that you burn the mobs down so qukly that you should see similar if not more XP per hour than leveling a pally pre-40 (when larger pulls bome possible with Holy Shield). I found that pre 3.0 nerf my pally and rogueould get around the same XPhour while in the 50-70 grind, but in entirely different ways. Ya just need tohange your mind-set when on the two toons. Good lk. Best adve right there ... I had EXTLY the same issues when starting a rogue after getting my warrior to 70. I justould not get my head wrapped around not being able to take hits, and lots of them, to the extent that I started and deleted no less than 5 rogues before level 15 (only one made it past 10). Then Iame to this board, and reived adve similar to Therion's above. I believe it was Demea who answered myall, and I've not looked bk. Make sure you know what your abilities are, the key ones are the abilities whh keep your target lked down, so stuns, stuns, stuns. Learn to use stealth, a key ftor in playing a rogue is your ability to pk your fights - Iompleted quests on my rogue with the absolute minimum of killing (distrt is your friend when you get it), while it took about 20-30 kills on my warrior to complish the same goal. True, this means that your kill xp goes down, but youanomplete some quests quker, so it balaes out. If there is more than one mob to take down, sap the one - all part of pking your fights and being a sneak. Evasion - don't be afraid to use it. It may have aooldown, but it has thatooldown for a reason - it's a very powerful tool - so use it. Get yourself a hard hitting sword, daggers are good and all, but in the early levels, you'll not be making the maximum use of the daggers - slow swords are your friend. Don't be afraid to pull a mob with your ranged weapon. It's another part of the "Pk your fight" mentality - sometimes, pking your fightan't be done by stealthing in - so be a sneaky SoB in reverse and grab the mob's attention (and hurt him a bit) from a distae, assuming you have the aforementioned hard hitting sword, and you've followed the adve in the stkies wrt where to put your first points and what sp to start leveling in, pulling and nuking down (a single mob) fe to fe ishild's play. In short, adjust your mindset to being the sneaky SoB you're playing, and you should be fine. Just remember one thing if you forget everything else - Rogues are single target destroyers, at later levels thathanges to a degree if you'reombat and you get Blade flurry and Adrenaline rush, but even then - that's not all the time.oentrating on a single target, and lking them down is what a rogue is about.
