Hi, I’ve always played the undead rogue and I decided that the next time I’ll play Vanilla, it’s going to be a human for the Perception. It always annoyed me when I met an enemy rogue in the wild.
I also wanted to play the double dog arenas in TBC, which is almost impossible without the Perception.
On the other hand, I feel like playing a rogue against the Horde orcs could be a bigger issue that I can imagine. Getting your stuns resisted must be really painful. What’s your experience?
If you ask me, ppl playing alliance rogue pvp are insane. Having said that, orc stun resistance gets slightly nerfed TBC.
Oh man i tried alliance rogue in sod and it was painful to fight orcs. But you can still play around it a bit. But tbc human becomes insane…so why not
Thank you, this is a helpful answer
Just play what you like.
If you’re going to play ally, dwarf is better. Stoneform is pretty insane. Especially vs other rogues, since you can break their blinds on demand.
Stoneform against blind is meh. Just keep your distance restealth and go at it again.
Perception is way better imo
No its not. 1. You can hear the Sound of when perception being used. As soon as you hear that in stealth you just vanish in stelath and sprint away for the duration then Come back Equip goggles, find rogue,switch back to normal head gear . Now you gank him.
Dwarf rouges getting out of Blind with racial (as it is a Poison in Vanila) is pretty big, and Perception let’s you find the other rogues with ease is far from being weak, but orc’s stun resistance feels more often than not like 40% instead of 20%.
If you intend to play double rogue at a high level in TBC human rogue is kinda must have - otherwise as others have said just play whetever you prefer.
EA, SF and perception are all very good racials for rogues. However, not having to deal with a very high chance of getting your stunlock smoked is much more useful imo.
orc stun resistance is 25%. Chance for your stun not to get resisted is 1-0.25 = 0.75. Chance of your complete stunlock not to get resisted is 0.75*0.75= 0.5625. Do we really think that SF, EA or perception are worth having to deal with slightly over 50% of the time your full stunlock actually lands? Orc is a very popular race among horde pvp players.
dont play this game as for now. Its so many bots its scary. even more so when u get up levels where there are both alliance and horde
Orc is absolutely the correct choice if you want to engage wPvP, hardiness as a human rogue can be a real pain.
