The most important thing to remember is that many quality of life changes and streamlined leveling systems are not in place in WoW Classic - quests aren't always thrown in your face, and fighting against mobs may not be as easy and quick, especially for a Rogue. Whether you're new to the game, have only played during the expansions since Cataclysm, or are returning to WoW Classic after a long time away, there are many things you should know before getting into the optimal paths for leveling from 1 to 60. Intro to Leveling as a Rogue in WoW Classic
Meanwhile, Undead's Will of the Forsaken allows them to defeat Priests and Warlocks with little to fear. Orcs can combine their Blood Fury trait to boost their damage output for finishers, and Hardiness lets them endure stuns from other Rogues and Warriors better. Gnomes are generally seen as the weaker pick as Intellect does little and the only boon they get is Escape Artist (and a Rogue can get Improved Sprint instead).įor Horde, Both Orcs and Undead are seen as good picks for a Rogue. Humans are seen as a great pick for Rogues, especially in PvE situations due to having better hit chance when using swords, while Perception can give them the edge in PvP against other rogues.
Almost all races can become a rogue in World of Warcraft classes, the only exception being the Tauren.
