Cataclysm Rogue Guide - Leveling, Talents, Changes & More

the Rogue is an amazing and fun class to play in cataclysm and today I'll be going through the different talent trees I'll be using new spells and changes to the class what glyphs and sets you should be getting and other things when you're leveling up you can choose between three different specializations subtlety combat and assassination I sadly never level up as subtlety as I feel like the killing speed isn't that great compared to for example combat or assassination later in the video I'll show you some gameplay as a different specializ ations when I'm leveling up a Rog and hopefully by then it will also be easier for you to decide what specialization you should be leveling as but first I would like to share the different talent trees I use as I'm leveling up the Rogue but also what I use at level 85 together with the different glys all right so the first talent tree is going to be for assassination and this is how it looks like as I'm leveling up what especially makes this build so amazing is deadly momentum that will increase your ccal strike chance when you kill a Target and also refresh your slice and dice and recuperate here you can also see the talent order starting from the left and this is how I'll pick each individual Talent all the way up to 85 by the time I reach max level I'll resp as I no longer need deadly momentum and my new chent tree looks like this the nine glyphs I prefer to use will be the following you could also level up as combat if so then this is my tent tree at max level even though I used this at level 85 then it's also pretty decent for leveling up by the time you have unlock Killing Spree in the combat tree you could also start spending points into assassination and even get deadly momentum if you really want this every time you're killing a Target last but not least is subtlety what I'm looking forward to is to finally be able to use the specialization in PV content where in bre of the L King this was mainly only for PVP but you will start doing some pretty decent numbers even in rates and heroics I'm not saying you're going to top the DPS meters but it's going to be amazing that you're no longer forced to play either assassination or combat when you would like to do PVE in a moment I'll show you a bit of leveling gameplay but first I would also like to highlight this amazing cataclysm leveling guide you'll get to level 85 super quickly as it has been developed by the best speed levelers in World of Warcraft and you can even use this in the pre patch as well you just follow the different steps and I will even be text explaining what you will have to do in the description there will be a link you can follow and this will redirect you to the page where you can download the free version but also purch the full version that will work all the way up to max level but before you purchase the full version make sure to apply the discount code guide MMO to get a small discount and to help me as a content creator all right so onto a bit of leveling starting with assassination I'll do most of my damage with my mutilate and poisons and the combo points I'll then spend on casting slice and dies and recuperate every time you kill a Target your deadly momentum will then refresh the duration of your slice and dice and recuperate therefore you won't need to to spend your combo points refreshing these as long as you're of course continuing to kill targets and pumping damage this is one of the main reasons why I like this build so much as it's super chill for leveling you'll most of the time have full health because of your recup rate and every time you have combo points you use these on either a visade or Venom one of the downsides is that you don't really have any kind of cleave damage so you won't be able to kill many targets at the same time at least not if we compare it to combat but then again because of the high amount of damage you can easily kill Elite targets yeah you're doing insane single Target damage so you can also hit into dungeons with the build one of the main reasons why combat is so insane for leveling is because blade flurry no longer has a cool down instead this is something you either toal on or off whenever you're either killing one target or many targets at the same time to make it even better then you unlock Blade flry the moment you pick the specialization so at level 10 therefore this specialization also starts to pick up as you can kill two or three three targets at the same time where the other specializations will most likely continue to kill one at a time as you level up you will unlock more important abilities for example Adrenaline Rush a cool down you can activate to increase your energy regeneration this allow you to pull many targets and then spam your fan of knife if this doesn't kill all of them then you could activate your killing spree as it will do a huge amount of damage to nearby Targets I'm not entirely sure what I prefer the most assassination or combat the the good thing is the Dual specialization is only 10 gold so you could try out both of them so subtlety really that bad as long as you're going into stealth and Ambush your target you will also kill it within a couple of seconds this is because your Critical Strike chance and Damage Done by your Ambush has been improved allowing you to pretty much always crit and do a high amount of damage but if you forget to go into stealth or if you pull two Targets at the same time your killing speed will also be awful as you get to the bottom of the tant tree you get Shadow dance a cool down you can activate that allow you to use your stealth abilities for the next 6 seconds so if you accidentally body pull or if you pull two Targets then you could use this and start using your Ambush hopefully it also gave you some insight in the different specializations so it's easier for you to decide what kind of gameplay looks the most fun to you so what new spells and changes will happen to the Rogue well no matter what you will be getting combat Readiness a cool down you can activate to reduce your damage taken if every time you take damage you will reduce your damage taken by 10% and this takes up to five times so a total of 50% reduced damage when you activate the cool down it will last for 20 seconds and every time you then take damage you will get this reduced damage buff for 10 seconds so after the 20 seconds you will then have to spuff for another 10 in other words you will be able to reduce your damage taken for 30 seconds sometimes it can be quite annoying if you're killing a Target and you then accidentally have a few combo points points left what you can do now is use redirect and this will redirect the current combo points onto another Target super useful if you for example have poisons on your current Target and you know these will kill the target then you could simply swap to the other one and then continue with the remaining combo points in my opinion the biggest change to the Rogue is recuperate a spell you can activate with your combo points to region 3% Health every 3 seconds and this will last for 30 seconds if you use five combo points super efficiently if you're about to die then you can use your combo points to get the heal and then you simply just vanish I also like to keep this active when I'm leveling up basically because I don't have to use food or first aid as often another amazing thing about the heal over time is that you can then start ciding with for example your kidney shot and gouch and then by the time you have a decent amount of Health you can get back into the fight and finish off the target last but not least we have smoke bump a cloud you can spawn to prevent any people from shooting into the cloud for the next 5 Seconds super efficiently in PvP but also in PV if there's a creature about to either do a high amount of damage to one of your party members or even a cc just remember you can still take AE damage in the cloud or people could even move inside and start attacking you next up is the different stats you should prioritize getting as assination agility will always be your main St and this is actually no matter the specialization next you should prioritize getting 8% hit but also 7% spell hit for your poisons as poisons will be your main damaging abilities therefore you should also be going for a lot of Mastery as Mastery will increase your poison damage and last but not least haste for faster attack speed but also for faster energy region as combat you should get 8% hit 26 expertise and then you could start building up more haste and of course more hit for the spill hit cap with your poisons but poisons doesn't do as much damage as as as a nation therefore I also prioritize getting more energy region and faster attack speed when you play subtlety at level 85 you have to make sure you get 8% hit then you could either start building up more haste rating or expertise to 26 expertise followed by crit and then Mastery so I hope you enjoyed this rad guide if you would like to see some for the other classes then make sure to check out
