Combat offers high damage and high survivability with Lightning Reflexes and Reinforced Leather. This allow Combat spec to rely less on stealth and openers.
Prime Glyphs: Sinister Strike , Eviscerate , Revealing Strike
Major Glyphs: Blade Flurry , Cloak of Shadows , Sprint
Subtlety is your best choice for Leveling because Shadowstep and Nightstalker will provide you with very high mobility early on. Subtlety also offer the very high burst damage from stealth for quick kills however it is lacking the sustained damage that Assassination and Combat offer but that doesn’t really matter with leveling as regular NPC farming will die quickly.
Prime Glyphs: Hemorrhage , Rupture , Eviscerate
Major Glyphs: Sprint , Ambush , Preparation
I would really like to see some glyph guids with each talent tree so that us players can really have the edge !
Thanks for a great guide !
Sorry for my noob question but do we use daggers like slow mh and fast offhand or do we use swords for the above subtlety build
Slow MH is the only important thing, you can use any weapon with Subtlety, Ambush and Hemorrhage with daggers will receive higher bonus damage but non-daggers are slower and scale better than daggers. However you won’t be able to Backstab without daggers.
Ty for the PVE “Leveling Guide” and the breakdown at different levels. I love PVE…but was born to kill Horde (No offense Dugi). I would really like to see PVP guides as well.

My main is rogue, for 5 years or so and i have lvld more rogues just for fun. I would recommend to go combat for leveling. blade flury is on a 30sec cool down and make’s muliple-mobs easypeasy. Later on u get adrenaline rush which will transform you in a machinegun for 20 sec. l vld a rogue to lvl 54 the past few months and i found out that in instances combat does the most damage. Assassination is what i like to play best, but that is the number one build when you are 85 and like to play in raids. Recuperate talent tier 1 is the one i would choose when i am round lvl 30-35. The xtra healing and 6% damage reduce is great.
A good rotation on normal mobs i have found for Subtelity rogues when they have shadow dance cd is to begin with premeditation. then use shadowstep and ambush/garotte. then use cheap shot and move behind target spamming with backstab.
even on 85 mobs i often get into combat without loosing health.
ops. didnt mean cheap shot. meant kdiney shot sry
Ty this helped me with my pvp s lot.
Subtlety is the best (also most fun) spec for leveling, incase you’re wondering. Assassination is not ideal for first time players because you need to rely on upgrading your pair of Daggers all the time.
