Is Rogue the right choice for PvE farming? - New player on WoW Classic Era (EU PvP)

WoW Classic WoW Classic General Discussion

I’m a new player diving into WoW Classic Era on an EU PvP server, and I’ve rolled a Rogue as my first character. My main goal is to focus on:

  • solo PvE farming (dungeons and open-world PvE)
  • occasional party dungeon ( not really a raid guy)
  • some occasional PvP on the side.

I’m wondering if Rogue is the ideal class for this playstyle. I’d love some advice on:

  1. Is Rogue a good choice for solo PvE farming, or should I consider rerolling?
  2. If Rogue is viable, what kind of build should I aim for to optimize PvE farming and occasional PvP?
  3. If Rogue isn’t great for this, what class would you recommend? (Please no Warlock suggestions - I’ve played it before and want to try something new!)

any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

You’ll be the main target, as a rogue, on a pvp server, out of stealth, engaging mobs. If you want to farm open world, do not roll on a pvp server. Especially the cancer that is Firemaw. You will regret it.

So being a rogue is a big advantage compared to other classes, since you can stealth and evade bad situations. +1 to rogue i’d say.
Yea im on Firemaw…

There’s no single place except Silithus’ Hives (Thorium Veins) on Firemaw which I would recommend to aim for farming.
This server is crowded of bored bis toons aiming to ruin other peoples day.

But the crystals sell well.

of course you roll mage if you want to play world of warcraft as single player game when needed.

Things you can do with mage

1- Solo Gnomeregan farm with 300+ mobs in 1 pull
2- Solo Scarlet Monastary Cathedral + Library + Arms farm with 1 pull
3- Solo Maraudon farm 320 pull, 360pull, 400 pull, 420 pull, 480 pull, 500 pull, 500 pull + princess
4- Solo Stockades farm with 2-3 pull
5- Solo BRD farm
6- Solo stratholme farm
7- So many other dungeons and also open world farm opportunities.

You can outplay any PvE content as mage in classic, you can also PvP in the future, you can find a lot of educational videos on youtube about what is mentioned above.

Solo PvE farming as a rogue is nice. I have a 60 warrior and a 60 rogue, for outside PvE killing I usually go with the warrior, for dungeons and tricky “mining/herbing” I go with the rogue. These two classes are fun for the more slow paced farming that I think that you are looking for.
As said by another player, if you care about being the fastest/most gold per hour, you should look at the mage who is the king of classic gold farm.

  1. no
  2. no
  3. no

Roll Hunter!

I find the rogue is VERY good for herbing/mining. For mob farming, probably want either a plate wearer or a hunter.

Rogue with sap + blind (blind can be used to stay out of combat if it’s timed well, works on pretty much everything but named elites) can get to pretty much anything node wise.
