Got Talent???

Today i thought we discuss the rogue talent trees.  As with all of the other classes in World of Warcraft the rogus has three different “trees” in which to put points.  They are: Assassination, Combat, and Sublety.

Assassination

• Pros:
  • Strong (insane) Burst Damage
  • ability to kill clothies in just a couple of hits
  • did i mention INSANE damage
• Cons:
  • Need to use daggers (lack of weapon flexability)
  • for best results you need to be behind your target
  • for best results you will need high end gear

Combat

• Pros:
  • Very high white damage (higher average than the other two trees with less burst damage)
• Cons:
  • Weapon dependant (forces you to choose a speciality weapon)
  • mashing “sinister strike” over and over for a 4 hour raid can be a little mind numbing

Subtelty

• Pros:
  • A pretty good mix of pvp and pve skills
  • Cheat death can save your butt in a pinch
  • Use any weapon(s) you want with no penelties
• Cons:

Less overall damage then Combat or Assassination specs

So which is the “best”? the answer is YES… I have seen all three top the charts in dps in a 10/25 man raid and have seen all three specs excell in PVP.  So what it all boils down to is which spec is right for your playing style, level of gear, and what you will be doing with your rogue.

Questions? Comments? I’d love to hear them.
