Life as a rogue in TBC

Thank you all for your comments!

I’ve made a rogue and joined a casual guild where I will get to participate in raids whenever time allows it!

I’ll mostly be doing heroic dungeons, PvP and open world stuff. Raiding is only for the weekend, and seeing some of you mention the rogue being useful and perhaps even good/valuable in some, or all of these things, is encouraging and I’m raring to go.

Thanks!

1 Rogue in a raid is “meta” - Improved Expose Armor is one of the strongest physical buffs. They also have exceptional cleave with Blade Flurry up, granted it’s a cooldown but for example phase 1 Magtheridon they do a lot of damage.

But it’s T4, Rogues have some time before they really start to scale, but they do scale incredibly well.

Rogue has been my main character since 2006. Regarding TBC, rogues are the best for world PvP, they’re the best tier for arena PvP, very good in BGs.
Regarding PvE - they’re OK for HC dungeons. Some people won’t invite you into the group, because “you’re a rogue”, but some actually know that Sap+kicks can help a lot so you get invited.

Regarding raids - rogues aren’t needed at all, but if you find a nice guild, they can always find a spot for you. As someone already mentioned, Improved Exposed Armor is a nice think to have so make sure you play this build and inform your raid leader that this is the way you can help to the raid (so warriors don’t need to use Sunder that often)

“owns in pvp”
Never lost to a rogue 1v1 both on my ret or hunter.

Depends on the rogue, I have seen rogues doing 1.3k dps on gruul, a trash rogue is useless indeed, but a rogue who plays right is better than other “meta classes” who are bad.
