Wanting to play a rogue again, haven't since early Wrath (80)

[Herbert]

Hi,

I've been wanting to play my 80 human rogue for some time now but I know nothing about it anymore. Is combat still the best leveling spec?

I guess I will be buying gear from the AH since all of my ilvl is 201. Are those 409-442 blues worth buying (armor, trinkets, rings, weapons)? What has the biggest impact on killing (I assume the weapons)?

Thanks!

If you buy 442 or whatever weapons at 80 and play combat? Killing shit should be real easy.

Rogue is still really similar to how its always been. There's not too much more to learn from WotLK to now.

Any spec works for leveling. I like Mut. Others love Combat. Crazy people like Subt.

Yes, the high ilvl, low req lvl BoEs are worth picking up. If you're leveling from 80, remember that heirlooms will take you to 85. The xp-boosting ones are worth getting at least.

What has the biggest impact on killing (I assume the weapons)?

Weapons and trinkets. Don't underestimate other pieces though.

it's all the AH had for now
