Any kind of “difficult” quests feels especially painful as a war, but it sure fun to chop heads left and right when you doing green quests. As it always was, but now with brand new Victory Rush.
Price to pay for being 2nd best dps behind a warrior and speaking of warriors also have a tough time to level up but you didn’t mention warriors now did you when you have so many defensive cd’s and the most control abilities out of all classes this is clearly a skill issue maybe a hunter is more you’re playstyle also the caps 25 if you die a few times so what wont take long to get to 25.
Both as rogue and warrior, its advised to move around the quest zones a lot more than with other classes.
I started as human, cleared the human starting zone, went over to dwarf place and cleared the remaining green+ quests there.
Once those two zones were cleared, i went to loch modan, then darkshore, and westfall and redridge, doing mostly green or lower yellow quests.
Pretty much the entire 1-25 i was able to only do quests that werent higher level than me, which make warrior especially a breeze, once you make a go at mobs that are higher level than yourself you will struggle.
Upgrading your weapon every 2-3 levels helps a lot as well, and i found that with SoD, getting cheap weapons off the AH was very nice, green quality weapons going for just a few silvers, made it possible to always keep my weapon up to date without going bankrupt.
If you can find blue quality weapons for cheap that is nice, but they often cost so much that you will need to have a max level toon to affort them, green quality is more than good enough to make your leveling very easy.
I think Rogue runes as a whole are dogsh.
