Best Weapons and Armor 4 rogues : World of Warcraft General Discussions

Looking for the best armor and weapons for my lvl 40 undead rogue where to farm what to look for etc.

Also asking for the best talent build for solo like what and how many numbers. i was told that i should combat it but like i said numbers and where to put them would be great. thanks

The two almost best and most powerful sword for your level and are the easiest to get is: Vanquisher's Sword and Sword of Omen. They are very easy to get because they are reward from 2 sm quest. And I hope this guild will help you choose your talent. It's not mine.

Talent Tree
If you plan to do a lot of PVP, you'll want to spec your rogue with a good bit of the assassination tree which is geared toward increased critical strikes. However, critical strikes draw aggro from enemies when working in a raid group, which for a rogue played properly is a bad idea. Very important for any rogue is to max out Master of Deception and Elusiveness in the Subtlety tree and Lightning Reflexes, Improved Evasion and Deflection on the Combat tree. Paired with a high agility these talents make it just that much more difficult for an enemy to land a strike. You'll want to max out Improved Sap, especially once you start going in raids to the higher instances. You'll find a rogue without Imp Sap is like a Hunter without a pet. My personal preference is to load up mostly on the Combat/Subtlety trees. High agility also counts toward criticals (current level/2) and dodge (current level/4)so if you can get your agility up, you'll land criticals anyway, but since the goal of the rogue is to do damage without gaining aggro, putting many points on the Assassination tree is countereffective toward those ends.

You will want to load up on the Combat side. Max out Dual Wield spec and Daggers. You definately want Riposte which instantly does 150% damage and disarms the opponent. This move is avialable after a successful parry which happens very frequently if you max out Deflection on the same tree.

Blade Flurry is an excellent talent to have and since it allows the rogue to hit multiple enemies, is great in the middle of chaos. Used in the right situation it is a devistatingly effective 15-second AOE. And ultimately having that point on Adrenaline Rush is invaluable when it looks like things are taking a sour turn. This talent for 15 seconds makes your rogue the most deadly char in the game by increasing energy regeneration by 100% for fifteen seconds. With this enabled the rogue can pretty much unload skill after skill after skill and litterally watch that hp bar on the enemy drain like water in a sieve, often saving the day.

You want to be comfortable with the character and talent trees are a highly personal customization, but the key is to remember what the rogue's true position is. You must not only be aware of the rogue's strengths but also the weaknesses. You want to exploit the strengths exponentially and counter or eliminate the weaknesses just as ambiguously. Know your own limitations and find ways to overcome them.

Lastly I'd like to mention a drink called Thistle Tea. It seems there are a large number of rogues who've either never heard of it or don't know what it is for. Thistle tea is a drink that instantly restores the energy bar to full capacity. This is another emergency item that can make the difference between life and death (or vanishing and going someplace safe) when it's use is timed right.

Thistle tea is a cooking recipe that is obtainable from the fellow in the basement of Ravenholdt Manor. 60 points in cooking is required to be able to learn the recipe which also can be reached quickly. The materials needed are 1 swiftthistle and 1 spring water to make 1 tea. Swiftthistle is an herb which is often coupled with other herbs when gathering. If you know an herbalist or are one, this is an easy material to get. Occasionally you can find it in the Iron Forge Auction House also. Cooking is a secondary profession and is beneficial to learn as a rogue for thistle tea alone if nothing else. Having a good supply of Thistle Tea at the ready along with the other measures mentioned above make the rogue true to form and will allow him/her to live up to the high damage deadliness the character's reputation suggests.

And always remember the rogue's motto "Flash Powder...Never leave home without it!"
