WoW Forever Rogue PvP
The top-voted PvP talent build for each Rogue spec, written by players on this site, and the Rogue talents the final client changed in ways that matter in PvP. Level 60 PvP was never on the beta, so builds are theorycrafted until launch on November 4; vote on the guides to move the best build up.
Rogue PvP talent changes in the final client
DataminedHeightened Senses
Subtlety talent
Stealth detection as if three levels higher (was two) and 4% less chance to be hit by spells and ranged attacks; strong in rogue-on-rogue fights.
Elusiveness
Subtlety talent
Takes 90 seconds off both Vanish and Blind, your escape and your best crowd control.
Mutilate
Assassination talent
Now in row 5 of Assassination (it was row 7) with no prerequisite, and Venom moved below it, so Mutilate costs fewer points and leaves more for Subtlety or Combat.
From the talent text in WoW Forever client build 1.60.1.70532 (client tables), in our own words. Try them in the Rogue talent calculator.
What a Rogue did in Classic PvP
Classic fallback- Burst damage
- Crowd control
Opens from stealth with stuns, then Blind, Gouge and Kidney Shot keep a target locked down; Vanish and Sprint get it out.
How the class played in Classic 1.12; the talent changes above can shift it. Honor, ranks and battlegrounds are on the WoW Forever PvP page.
