World of Warcraft Cataclysm Rogue Leveling Guide

The Rogue is a pure Damage Dealing class which uses Leather and its main stat to boost is Agility which gives loads of great things, such as higher dodge chance, higher Critical strike chance, more attack power, higher armor etc. The Rogue's ?patented? move is all the stuns they got, this is what most people associate with rogues, these should always be used in both PvE (Player vs Environment and PvP (Player vs Player) to lower the damage dealt to you, which means that you won't have to eat that often and therefore level up faster. You should also level up First Aid because this can be used while an enemy is blinded, gouged, sapped, or stunned.

The Rogue class got 3 talent trees, Assassination, Combat, and Subtlety and they are all good for different things. If you're interested in leveling (and because you're reading this, I guess you are) then you should choose the Combat tree because this is purely made for leveling and PvE. The abilities in there are just unimaginable awesome the first time you use them.

Start with putting your Talent pints In Combat, Get 3/3 Improved Sinister Strike, After that 3/3 Precision. Then go ahead and get 2/2 Improved Slice and Dice, most people think this talent is useless but it's really one of your best leveling abilities through the game. Then get 3/3 Aggression because this will boost your damage once you get all three talent points in there. Then go ahead and take 3/3 Lightning Reflexes and Revealing Strike. Then put 3/3 in Combat Potency and 2/2 in reinforced Leather. After that you should get the Adrenaline Rush, this one should only be used when you're fighting mobs with high health or multiple mobs at the same time. Then get 2/2 Savage Combat. 2/2 Throwing Specialization. Then just take the one's left below these, 2/2 Restless Blades, 3/3 Bandit's Guile and of course, the last thing which is one of the best attacks in the game, Killing Spree.

Now open the Assassination tree tab and put three talents in Lethality, making it 3/3. Then put another 3/3 in Coup de Grace and 1/3 in Ruthlessness.

Then open the Subtlety Tree and put your last talents in Relentless Strikes, 3/3.

This is the best Rogue build for leveling and it's all updated for Cataclysm, If you however feel like using the Assassination tree or the Sub one then first try Combat because I'm certain that you will enjoy it. If you tried it and want to try some others then I recommend Assassination.
