World of Warcraft Rogue

World of Warcraft Rogues in some other games can be weak, and rarely do they make really good use of thieving or stealthing abilities. The World of Warcraft Rogue are pumped up and dangerous, a force to be reckoned with. If you like powerful offense and sneaky backstabbing moves, the Rogue may be for you.

Rogue Attributes

The Rogue's primary attribute is Agility, which is integral in stealth, the rogue's primary ability. Spirit, Stamina, and Strength are also useful. A rouge has little use for intelligence. As you level up, focus your gear on Agility enhancements.

Rogue Philosophy

Regarding PVP, a rogue lives and dies by Stun and Critical hits. The better you are at those, the more powerful the rouge. Maximize the critical strike chances. Use fast weapons.

With the advent of the resilience stat in level 70 pvp (resilience blunts critical strike damage and dots) dagger rogues just won't cut it in pvp. Go with maces or swords.

In pve a Wow Rogue crit build is still a good idea.

Here's more on a rogue's outlook. A weapon that hits once a second with a 10% crit chance will have twice the chances to crit that a two seconds per attack weapon does. So fast attacks and quick weapons are better than heavier damage slower weapons. Don't look at DPS, look for the highest speed.

So put talent points into the combat tree, specifically blade flurry, dual wield, and precision. You are a World of Warcraft Rogue dual-wielding two fast daggers. With all those attacks the criticals just start adding up on your adversary. Spellcasters can be interrupted. Warriors can be stunned.
