**For the optional PvP style Hemo build, make sure to put 3/3 in improved sap, I accidently only put 2/3 in the video**
Did the specs super fast, there might be some other mistakes too.
You make great videos I dont know how you only got 20.000 fucking subs man!
@@meta6287 SJ Dubs.... 😑
The combat leveling spec is better off without the 4 points in the poisons, less CD on Sprint and Evasion (2 points), and More damage on SS and Evis (2 points remaining) would be better than the poison choice.
Love your attention to detail.
Is there a text guide version of this video somewhere?
I've levelled several rogues in vanilla and always sticked to combat swords, mostly because everyone always said daggers would be way worse. This time around I wanted a different levelling experience and I'm levelling daggers. Level 40 atm and I must say it's quite amazing. Ambushings mobs for about 50% of their health pool is quite fun, followed by a gouge backstab and most mobs are done, then a remorseless attacks proc for the next ambush. With the auction houses being so flooded atm getting a dagger is pretty easy as well. Managed to pick up a gut ripper for 15 g(!). So I'd actually recommend dagger leveling. I'm outdpsing in dungeons as well
and what's the meta slaves are hiding from us. actual fun and non-mainstream ideology being of the same relevance.
absolute classic since the dawn of gaming. Never trust Metaslave , ever.@@degenwow
thx for wise words@@baronnashor158
The background music in your vid is so chill man. It's relaxing
Have to say, having played a combat rogue in Vanilla WoW, this was a pretty thorough video. Seen a few now, for the purposes of teaching newcomers to Classic and you're the 1st I've seen, to actually mention the slow MH and fast OH and explain why. Overall, a very detailed guide, explained in an easy to understand manner, so liked and subbed. Well done.
putting stoneform below escape artist is a bold move
Dwarf master race.
It is insane how much quality content you put out there for the classic hype. Keep it up. Learned a lot of valuable tips and tricks.
Thanks so much for this quick guide with extremely valuable tips! As a complete beginner, I'm gonna follow through as best as I can from tomorrow on. Always been intrigued by the class but never made it work for me in retail.
Great video. Glad to see someone else repping the sub spec post 30. It's so much fun
If you Macro /cast Pick Pocket into your openers you get to loot the mob two times after you kill it. You simply get the pick pocket loot after killing it since your other opener will cancel the pick pocket. Its real good :)
how do i do that? wouldnt it require being stealth? im lvl 19
First 2 talent points should go into remorseless Attacks, main benefit is for leveling, really shines early as well as it allows you to cut down on regen after you get a big crit off
I just watched this for nostalgia.
I remember this summer so well and god damn how hyped I felt for classic wow. Such a good time reliving all the memories from middle school one more time.
Absolutely superb breakdown and explanation. Well done Punkrat.
This is exactly what I've been looking for! Thanks for the guide. I can't wait to gank and pickpocket my way through Azeroth!
Very nice video!! Thanks for this alot! Plus the sword information at the end! Really good!
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO THANK YOU PUNK RAT
Main problem with leveling rogues in wow. Skipping way too many mobs while questing with stealth.
Since we're talking about wow classic fresh nowadays: orc proved to be superior to undead quite a bit in classic. In TBC it's undead for sure since the stun resist got nerfed and arenas are the main thing, but in vanilla orcs are kings 100%
You should not follow the talent order stated in the video. After picking 2/2 imp. sinister strikes att level 11, go to assassination and get 2/2 remorseless attacks. after remorseless go back to the combat tree. 2/2 remorseless attacks gives 40% crit chance on your sinister strikes/backstab after killing a mob and is a must while early leveling.
Had my mind set on rogue since reveal.
12 days- oh I cannot wait any longer
Crippling poison is good in offhand for grinding mobs that flee. It's saved me a bunch of times and is also useful in dungeons when you don't have a frost mage or a hunter using traps in the party.
Man...i was struggling pretty hard then i found this and my leveling has definitely sped up! Appreciate the video!
Solid tips. Thanks for the great video!
Greattt guide! Thank you so much :D
I learned a lot man! Thank you, great video, peace!
keep up the good stuff man. your doing awesome
Thanks for the upload bro!
Excellent video, thanks so much!!
YES!! Yes!!! Thank u so much! 🤘🏻
Excellent guide, info and presentation. Thanks
*tip* I like to use 4-5 combo point snd when I’m in a cluttered area (mainly when you have a kill count quest). As you can kill 2-3 mobs in the duration of it, saves a lot of energy.
happy to know that my main on Classic is going in the correct direction. From launch day I grabbed a crappy 1 hander and got the sword trainer in Undercity. Since then I have been using stealth on back stab and a macro to change to 1 hand sword/dagger combo coming out of stealth. I keep both skills maxed this way as well. Thank you for the informational guide for a very viable, and fun, rogue spec.
Would you mind posting the macro you use?
@@Obfuscator1085 /equip (name of item) add another /equip (name of item) if changing for different stats
Really solid video!!
Great, fresh tips. Thanks
Getting so freaking stoked!!
oooooh thanks for the subtlety spec idea, you were reading my mind
There’s no way it’s worth the bag space to have spirit gear for health regen
1-2 pieces with high spirit can make a big difference
its just an option really. i use alot of runecloth bandages during my grinds. probably a waste of money.
usually better then the cost in gold from using 5000 bandages from 1-60
@@samljer damn
I use 4 pieces that have super high spirit
thanks for the info Punkrat!
So pumped for classic!
Same man. I haven't been this excited for a game in years.
Here's something most people don't know about Elf Rogues. The shadowmeld racial boosts stealth, basically giving you 1 point in Master of Deception which allows you to have 6 points in the talent if you max it out, meaning you will out stealth every other rogue giving you the opener which is a big advantage in PVP, so technically they are not by any means the worst race for the class, but people don't know that because the character creation menu doesn't explain this fact. Every video I have seen on Rogues and racials fails to explain this.
Unless you duel your human friend, as their perception ability will outrank your passive racial
@@Sleepgodxgood thing i'm not gonna be fighting any Alliance players. I always world pvp horde players
Awesome guide! I’m about to respec and get my rogue right!
Thanks, I love it.
Dope. Thanks bro
I hope you're still having fun playing this game. I appreciate the videos for help.
Great video and great editing
Thanks for the vid homie
Any punkrat would you advise for your first two talent points go into remorseless attacks and than go into the combat tree? Thanks love your vids
you pound out that classic content like crazy.. keep them coming
Love hemo/combat. Macro swaps dagger in mh when in stealth and then sword again when using hemo. Ambush opener on cloth/leather mobs, stun on others.
Thanks bud! Solid video. Running my first rogue ever
I am level 58! this still was so helpful the whole way through
Hey dude awesome video liked and subbed. Quick question, for the hemo spec pvp you use swords right? Can explain why not daggers? Also can you use a sword mh and dagger off? Thanks!
if youre fighting in a tight area and mobs are running away from you and pulling more mobs its definitely worth putting crippling poison on one of your weapons.
it might be worth skipping improved sword spec and taking lowered cooldowns on sprint and evasion and improved sprint (for pvp) and using a sword mainhand and dagger offhand instead. this way you will level dagger and sword skill as you level up and have more utility from cooldowns while leveling too.. the 5% chance to get an extra attack is nice but not very reliable. and its a trade off being able to evasion and sprint more often will speed you up arguably faster anyway.
also dont bother with 4 points in imp poisons or the 2 points in murder.. id take imp eviscerate (since you use it all the time) and ruthlessness since an extra combo point after a finisher can make all the difference. all of these tips are optional and the build he recommended will work. so i guess its just a question of if you want a bit more damage or a bit more utility.
This.
Doing this you still level combat?
Informative video as always Punk! Gratz on your 20k btw. it's much deserved.
Edit : Also, are you going to be doing any MC raid guides before or after the 27th?
who told you it was a good idea to turn the volume up 200% for your outro music :P
What are your addons for the combat text and combo points? :0
I’d love to see a dagger rogue guide. I know front stabbing doesn’t work, but I always play in a party so I am constantly using backstab/ambush
Blake Solomon || Guide follows relatively the same route, though you might forego taking the parry+riposte and instead get increased crit chance on backstab in the same tree (and invest spare points wherever you desire, since they’d go into utility). You’d also take dagger specialization instead of sword specialization.
After already leveling a rogue to 60, my biggest concerns while leveling and end game are threat. Being dagger rogue has the issue of having huge damage spikes in the opener from ambush and high crit Chance backstabs, making it hard for tanks (or dps, if you’re questing) to pull agro back off of you. Having agro means no backstabs, and your auto attacks and sinister strikes will be much weaker than sword spec. You can off-put the risk by waiting more time to let tanks pool threat, but by then you risk simply doing less damage altogether. It’s a hard balance.
Not to mention, at level 60, solo content and grinding is ass in phase 1 as dagger rogue because of your reduced output with sinister strike and slower kill times lining up ambush every fight. Even higher amounts of poison procs doesn’t have too big an impact overall on higher level mobs, given their higher resistance to nature in raids, and a fair amount of elemental bosses/mobs being straight immune- and if you’re horde, sword spec will benefit more from windfury totems.
I'm going to roll full sub simply because to me its the most fun. Also I expect to be heavily engaged in world pvp. I don't care how long it takes to level, To me that is one of the best parts of classic.
thinking about the same thing really
This is my opinion as well. Good guide. But I suspect i'll be running into a lot of PvPness along the way which is part of the fun :-)
The two things this man was funny on: Stealth to Pickpocket while leveling & going Hemo before 60. There is a time and place for that. After level 50 once youre not hamstrunging yourself with stealth is the best time to prioritize pick pocket as well as going Hemo so you dont lack substantially in dps.
Well if you go hemo early you should also have improved stealth for the increased move speed so stealthing to lockpick isn't so bad
it may be suboptimal but i will be leveling my rogue with 3/3 improved Ambush for the satisfying openers in world PVP
I was thinking just about the same. classic.wowhead.com/guides/rogue-dps-talents-builds-classic-wow#improved-sprint-backstab Thinking about this PVP Build 16/12/23. and i'll think i'll go with this from the beginning all the way to 60.
Hits like a train, can almost 1 shot my own level
@@iamlevik This is IMO the best PVP build that only gets better the more gear you get. Imp Sprint is more worthwhile than Cold Blood since it'll give you more value against Frost Mages. The 2% hit from Precision and having full Dirty Deeds is really nice too.
Honestly curious, I wanna do the hemo build but I'm only lvl 30, how much slower is it to level with this spec? Like how much faster is combat than sub
When leveling is it better to get parry / riposte before getting the improved hit chance? I seem to miss a lot
What addon is he using for the combat text and the cp? I like it.
IMO pick up relentless strikes with the first two talents before building into combat. 40% crit to open almost every fight from 10-40 is worth getting all the combat talents two levels later.
I agree. I've been playing around with low levelling on a private server (to beat the zerg) if you don't put your first two point into relentless strikes, I promise you, you are doing it wrong.
remorseless attacks, not relentless strikes
Agreed generally, but I personally will spend points in combat until I get Riposte at level 20, because it's super helpful for soloing the Poisons quest if you proc it against the last mob (at level 20, even with Ambush taking him down to half health, you still need all your cooldowns to take him down, so Riposte is pretty huge if you want to be successful completely I've found). Then you can grab the 2/2 points in Remorseless Attacks and then switch back to Combat.
Brian it would help if I read lmao. Thanks for the correction.
@@dannywinter3837 well you can just complete that quest later and just respec at 30 for blade flurry
What would the rotation be with hemo spec? still focus on keeping Slice and Dance up at all time?
Does sword spec apply to offhand weapons? Or should I use a dagger in off hand for faster white damage and poison procs?
I level as subtly with improved stealth and master deception. I find it very important to use the off tree in a pvp Server
been curious for a long while about how big the difference in builds are if you just wanna play casual ?
like how much worse is a dagger build compared to a sword build if i just wanted to play a casual rogue with some dungeoning here and there and just have some fun on it or any other custom build really
finally. thanks
@Punkrat Do you have a guide on where to actually level as a horde rogue? what area for what levels etc?
I liked ambush spec while leveling.
Is it fastest? Doubtful.
Is it fun? Hell yes. Especially when you catch mages drinking after mass pulls.
You sir are a true rogue, sub ambush specc for life !
Haha, thats hilarious.
It's our duty as rogues to kill all aoe grinding mages after they've made the pull. Bonus points for letting the mobs finish the job
Dont count on it sr! We have a golden wand waiting for you lol
It’s an automatic critical if they are sitting too! Haha
Thx 4 the nice guide!! Whats the name for the different combat number style? Looks cool 😋
Wow! What an awesome Rogue guide! Could yo show it also in action? Soms bg Rogue commentary? Maybe als from more classes? Thanks alot!
so for optional pvp hemo build i use sword mh and dagger oh?
So with the optional hemo build you basically switch from sinister strikes to hemo as your main source of combo points generation and you just use stealth a lot more so you can always open up with cheap shot for the 75% chance at an extra combo point right? Other than that what else is different in your general mob grinding rotation? I'm new to the rogue class so I'm unsure about some rotation related things
For hemo build it's better to use sharpening stones rather than poisons on your weapons if you're using fast daggers.
Gouge + Bandage is a rogues best friend while leveling.
I went combat maces because blue maces are like 3 gold where as the swords at 50g and rupture everytime and let the mace stun give the avoidance
I CANNOT IMAGINE MY LIFE WITHOUT AMBUSH
How do i pickpocket?? i have it on my actionbar. i go stealth and when i am near a humanoid i hit the key but nothing happens
Huh, ive been using 1 combo point slice and dice since I unlocked it and figured out how it works then normally go for 3 or 4 point eviscerate
Lol me too
@@joeking6972 i can now say that not using slice and dice early is a good idea lol
I'm playing HC classic and playing hybrid Sub/Combat. Got Ghostly Strike/Riposte (only lvl 35) and it is an evasion beast. I'm liking bleeds build because Slice n MIss, along with missing Eviscerate at 4 combo points, is demoralizing. The constant dmg of bleeds is more reliable and nice for kiting. Good information on here though. Thanks for the tips.
Hey nice video! Could you please write the addons you use for the frames to be squared on ur name and enemy names and the font or addon for those beautiful numbers for showing the damage? Thanks.
what if you are leveling with a group and have a tank, are dagger/backstab builds better than swords?
Great video. Also, a ghostly strike doesn't get the credit it deserves. I loved that skill while leveling!
Hey does anyone know for sure, you kill faster therefore level faster with swords instead of dagger? Say I keep upgrading my dagger st the AH, id still kill faster with swords than using backstab with dagger? Thx if anyone has an opinion
Yep, gonna roll a rogue for Classic.
Going Subtlety with improved Ambush and Remorselessness in Assassination is also a viable and fun spec, esp. for grinding. It gives your Ambush a 95% crit chance (so long as you kill the next mob within 20 sec). This means your opener always crits and takes the mob down to 50% health. And it's fun.
Can you share your spec?
That's what I am wanting to do. Also get ghost strike for dodge
Punkrat, you forgot the most crucial part of swords during level'ing !!! Friendly tip here! - Go to stormwind in level 10 and buy a cutlass, they do 10-20 damage, or at level 14, buy a white sword Scimitar, they do 14-26 dmg 2.3 speed. these can be bought in stormwinds weapon merchant vendor :) !
skipped purposely, many will not want to spend their hard earn gold at that level. Its also not necessary, you will pass that level quite fast
anyone know what addon is being used that changes dmg text style ?
NiceDamage - or at least it used to be.
That tip at 8:45 is such a good one!
thanks mate
Hi! I have played Rogue for quite a few years but this is going to be the first Vanilla experience for me. First of all thanks for making such a good video, I liked a lot the talent builds you showed and I am having some doubts. If you decide to switch to hemo at lvl 30 you should keep using swords or does it need a dagger to go with it?
No, you can use daggers and swords. You will want the slowest weapon with the highest dmg as hemo is scaling of max. wep dmg. same as SS. If you decide to go subt I'd open with ambush on most mobs and players then swap to a slower wep and keep spamming hemo.
Lol, my rogue is an herbalist and I've never once used fadeleaf to make blinding powder, and I have an excess amount. Just pickpocket every humanoid mob you come across. This is also the general strategy to keeping your pick locking skill up to date.
12:03 :Red silk banadanas is not one of the earlier quests in the defias chain. It's the last quest in the chain, and it's the one that you get off fighting the mobs inside deadmines. you are thinking of LEATHER bandanas, which would honestly be kinda silly, if you could get that weapon from fighting level 11-12 mobs.
This guide can be applied to TBC 1-60? Most of guides that Im seeing doesnt use Riposte, is still a good skill?
Best Guide 👍🏻
ive never leveled a rouge in BFA WOW. So playing one on classic will be my first. Looks like it will be fun
Make sure to choose Horde if you plan to PvP with it. ALWAYS
@@rudy1999 why
For that optional pvp build, do you head with swords from there on out or daggers?
You can use maces if you want. Use whatever weapon is the slowest and does the most weapon damage. I was using the mace the drops from whitenane in scarlet monastery
Hemo is based off weapon dmg
Loved the video! do one for mages plz :)
Wow - as a rogue player for 15 years it's pretty accurate. I think you should mentioned the famous pickpocket makro for leveling to make extra gold. And damn i'm proud - nearly nobody will believe me but i invent the hemo spec back in the days and everybody laughed at it at the time xD later in BC it was an overpowered arena spec and i was one of the first guys with my arena partner who hit 2,6k arenapoints. Keep up the good work!
What's the macro?
@@jessieknoppert5027 oh sorry - i forgot xD
/cast Pick Pocket
/stopcast
/cast Cheap Shot (or as an alternative Ambush)
So everytime you're in stealth you use pick pocket before you use the opener. Makes a good amount of gold over the leveling process :)
Can I ask what statistics you have for NPCs doing less damage when they are disarmed?
Its so close and no shaman guide bugger, just found your channel should get all vids in befor release👍
