Rogue Builds

Two talent builds for the Rogue: one to level from 1 to 60 without wasted time, one to farm gold at 60. Each comes with the stat order, a rotation and the ForeverBot settings.

A rogue levels best as a duelist rather than an assassin, with no mana bar to manage. This hub holds the two rogue build guides, both built on Combat Swords. The rogue leveling build is a 15/31/5 split: Precision and Sword Specialization early, Blade Flurry in the early thirties, Adrenaline Rush at 40, then the Assassination finisher talents. The rogue farming build keeps the same Combat core at 0/31/20 and spends the rest in Subtlety on Master of Deception, Camouflage, Initiative and Improved Sap.

That makes humanoid camps the rogue's farm: Defias in Westfall for early pockets, cloth and Lockpicking practice, Dark Iron dwarves in Burning Steppes in the fifties, and the Scarlet Crusade at Tyr's Hand in Eastern Plaguelands at 60, where Runecloth, coin and junkboxes all add up. The weak points are packs, since a rogue kills one or two mobs at a time, regular eating and bandaging, and Subtlety points that do little on beasts and elementals.

With ForeverBot you record the camp loop once, add the humanoids as Targets and press Start; the bot paths, loots and sells, while Pick Pocket, Sap and Vanish stay with you. Other classes are in the builds hub.

Frequently asked questions

Should a Rogue level with swords or daggers?

Swords are easier. Sinister Strike works with any weapon and from any side of the mob, and Sword Specialization adds free extra attacks. Daggers hit harder from stealth with Ambush and Backstab, but they need you behind the target, which is awkward when soloing, so many rogues only try daggers at 60.

Is pickpocketing worth it for a Rogue at level 60?

Usually, yes, on humanoid camps. Each pocket adds a little coin and sometimes a junkbox, and it takes only a moment because you are already in stealth. On its own it rarely beats a good farm, but added to normal loot it raises your gold per hour noticeably; beasts and elementals have nothing to pick.

Should a farming Rogue be Combat or Subtlety?

For solo farming, mostly Combat. Its sword talents kill faster and Blade Flurry handles the two mob pulls that farming creates, while a deep Subtlety build is slower in a long fight and leans on daggers and positioning. The 0/31/20 split keeps Combat's kill speed and takes only the Subtlety talents that help sapping and pickpocketing.
