One of the first major decisions you’ll have to make after entering the Outlands is your choice of the Aldor or Scryer faction. The various items, enchantments, quests, and other rewards will play a huge factor in your choice. And believe me, it’s important you choose correctly the first time. Now for Rogues the choice can be a little different for other classes. I’m going to work under a couple of assumptions here:
- The weapon rewards of being exalted with either faction are meaningless. (Since the weapons you can get from PVP are vastly superior.
- That you are not a Tailor 😉
- That at some point you will become exalted with the SSO (Shattered Sun Offensive)
So given those assumptions there are two things to consider.
- Shoulder enchants
- SSO necklace procs
First Shoulder enchants:
Second the SSO exalted Necklace procs
- Aldor +200AP for 10 seconds
- Scryer 333 to 367 damage Arcane Strike.
Given the above above enchants and buffs, i chose to go with the Aldor, because in my spec the AP buffs will be more useful than the +5 crit and the arcane strike from the necklace. Ultimately the choice is yours but i thought it would be good to consider the top level pros of each before making your decision.
