Rogue Leveling Guide - The Rogue Leveling Spec You Must Have

Leveling a Rogue in World of Warcraft can be pretty tough. This class doesn't do very well when it takes damage and the lack of heals make it even worse. While a Rogue leveling guide would tell you which talent tree is best for leveling, it will probably won't tell you which is the best Rogue leveling spec. And that is exactly what I will tell you here.

Combat is needed for PvE because it focuses more on weapon damage and it has abilities that improve your resistance and styles. The other two lines, Assassination and Subtlety are mostly used in PvP. As a Rogue, you will want to finish off your target quickly to avoid taking damage. Since you will be fighting monsters, you will need to use swords to make sure you deal damage constantly and not depend on the position of the mobs and whether your are hidden or not.

So the Rogue leveling spec goes as follows. Train your points in Combat ignoring the Improved Recuperate, Improved Sprint, Improved Kick, Improved Gouge and Throwing Specialization abilities. These are mostly useful for PvP as they give you more crowd control abilities and abilities that help you escape all sorts of situations. Train the other abilities until you get the Killing Spree one, which is very good. A good Rogue leveling guide will tell you that you need to use this ability as often as you can.

For the rest of the points, you should train Coup de Grace 2/3, Lethality 3/3 and Ruthlessness 2/3 in the Assassination talent tree. The remaining 3 points should go to Relentless Strikes in the Subtlety line. As you can see, the additional skills you train only reinforce the Combat Rogue leveling spec. That is why you should not waste those points on abilities that offer you no real benefit in PvE.

As far as play style goes, do not attempt to kill more than one monsters at a time. In fact, you should use you Throw ability to pull them one by one. If you get more on you, it won't be a problem as you can kill them, but the downtime will be too much.

I am sure that this Rogue leveling spec will work for anyone as a lot of people already use it. I have used it myself and it was a lot better than anything else. If you think that the Assassination build does much better, you are wrong. Use what you saw in this Rogue leveling guide and you will reach the level cap very fast in World of Warcraft.
