Rogue Twinking Guide for 2.3

This guide lists the Weapons and Armour that is best for rogues who intend to Twink post 2.3. It lists the best option and alternatives. It currently covers 19 and 29 Twinks, as they are the most popular and the ones I know most about. It is unlikely that further sections will be added, as I know little about them and there are a wide range of different choices/specs that are all equally good. Thanks goes to Vexille, from Zenedar, for his help with 2.3 items. Enchants are listed in order of preference. If you see any mistakes or omissions, please post them and I will correct the erroneous entry. Thanks to Gibblets, Mokuro Windrúnner, Corbon, Fearmonger, Anderstwo, Thalios and Idiotique for corrections and feedback.

One additional thing is that you may well know Highlander’s quote “this is not a “you must follow this path or die!” guide.” You may consider yourselves warned that failure to follow this guide WILL see you die – a lot.

For those of you who hate Twinks, please rest assured that this guide aids in killing Twinks more than hapless bystanders. For those of you who don't know what a Twink is, see http://www.wowwiki.com/Twink

In addition to this, if you post something deconstructive, I will simply report it as spam, and not grace it with an answer.

Obviously, if you like the guide, please post and say so! If you want to say something else, also post. The 20-29 section is currently new, and contains only 1 item for each slot, so corrections (they WILL be there) and additions in the form of alternatives would be very welcome.

Trinkets:
These boil down to personal preference. A PvP Trinket is pretty much mandatory, but after this you have several options, namely the http://www.wowhead.com/?item=2820 (for flag running, you should use it for that even if you don’t use it the rest of the time), http://www.wowhead.com/?item=19024 (for the dodge bonus and shield), http://www.wowhead.com/?item=9149 (if you take alchemy, it offers 5 STR, 5 AGI and 5 STA), http://www.wowhead.com/?item=21758 (for slightly improved stealth and a decent burst clicky) and finally http://www.wowhead.com/?item=1404 (stupidly imba extra stun or ranged interrupt).

Great post, buff it up with some bolds.

Thanks for the pointer, will do.

They should stop posting in a nice guide that is posted to help people that are interested in creating a twink.

An other pointer, maybe you could insert the definition of a 'twink' in your text. Although not everyone know what it is.

Source of such information;
(http://wowwiki.com/Twink)

Good luck.

Thanks for the help.

For ranged weap you can also use Hand of Argus Crossfire http://thottbot.com/i27640
1 agility and 1 stamina ;D Alliance only tho

I've given the definition I'm using for "Twink." As for the Crossbow, I would argue that it is inferior to the Throat Piercers, but will add it over the BS ones.

Thanks a lot, bookmarking the guide, who knows when you can get use for it.

I have also reported this for a sticky add to the Rogues informative thread found beneath:

indeed the crossbow is a tad inferiour but it depends on what you're after if you are dodge capped its better to stack some stamina for those pesky casters n' besidse some people dont like to spend alot on their twinks (me for instance ;) ) or dont have the chance to do so

N' about the Bronze Darts...dont touch them if you are not a warrior

This made me dissappointed. It only covers 10-19, the least interesting BG for me.

my favourites are, by far, 30-39, 40-49 and 50-59...

Keep it up though, as far as 10-19 goes, i guess you covered the gearchoices fairly well. GJ.

I'll do other ranges when I've had time to research - 10-19 has the best documented gear/enchants and the one I have actual Twink experience in. Thanks though.

As for the Darts, they're just for people who cba to get the other ones (Won't do quest / camp the insanely annoying respawn).

plz can anyone help with a build for lvl 29 ? i can go either daggers (ambush) or swords but i really dont know whats best at this lvl.. nor the build that works best,,, anyone plz?

Build is either:
http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/basics/talents/rogue/talents.html?1250200050000000000000230000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Sword

OR

http://www.wow-europe.com/en/info/basics/talents/rogue/talents.html?0050200000000000000000000000000000000000000000500500300000000000000
Dagger

Be warned, these may not be great because I'm not an expert on rogue talent builds. Get these checked by someone who is.

Awesome!

twinks............. -.-'

have fun with those....

I'm not forcing you to have one, merely trying to provide an informative resource for those who are interested in Twinking (10-19 anyway).

I'm pleasently surprised that you didn't add the bow from WC
but I must say that when it comes to weapons I disagree a little
IMO a fast off-hand should be used and not Cruel Barb and in the enchant area lifesteal and crusader is also fantastic enchants on main hand but well thats just my opinion

But still with those few personal favorites a person can have this is still the best post I have read in the entire week so keep up the good work

EDIT: WTF I deleted this char a month ago
