RoguesFollow

Does anyone know what to do when you know there's a hostile rogue around stealthed? Well except for running away that is. How do you kill them?

the rogues I fight are usually within a few levels of me (usually up to around 50 and as low as 44), and I'm level 47, Undead.

The way it usually goes is I get cheapshotted, come out of that, fear them, DOT them with sw:p and DP, and maybe get a heal off and mindblast once before they use their trinket and come back to stun me again and then finish me.

I need to duel more rogues apparently.

There are a few key things a priest can do to really throw a rogue off his game.

If you know a rogue is around. Make sure you have your shield up at all times, as well as Inner Fire. Most dagger rogues will opt to ambush a cloth caster for big damage. Your shield will reduce that damage very much. If you get hit with a cheapshot the shield should help you survive the duration of the stun.

Whatever you do, keep moving, and DONT SIT. If you sit, thats an automatic crit for the attacking rogue. If you move and jump around alot, that will make it difficult to for the rogue get into position and attack. They will either have to back up, or risk getting detected while your running around unpredictably.

Dont wait to get attacked and hope to fight back. Go looking for that rogue.. I promise its very demoralizing to a rogue when they become the hunted. They might just leave the area completly if your really aggresive. Even if they have killed you a few times.. If your not an easy target, they will move on.

Hello I'm a level 60 priest eater err I mean rogue I will give you a perspective from my point of view

First off

They nerfed that so don’t worry

Ok yes it really depends on level if you get an equal rogue on you it's going to be hard.

My fighting tactics are ambush, sinister strike, kidney shot, drink tea, sinister strikeX3 cold blood, eviscerate.

Now I know some of you out there are saying "I would use insta fear on you mate" but I must warn you there is a ui mod that automatically uses trinket so you guys are going to have to come up with a better attack plan.

Rogues are easy to kill if you know what you are doing and are shadow spec in shadow form. Your SW:Pain knocks half their HP away. The trick is just keeping them away that long.

If you need to drink, shield yourself before you drink. Inner fire should always be on. Rogues will always get the drop on you and the only option to use is spam fear. This will give you 2-4 before they realize they are feared. Tab usaully targets them, SW:P right after fear to stop him from vanishing, its critical. Shield, renew. Since SW:P, shield, and renew are instacast you can cast while running. Quick turn, Mindblast, flay, mindblast. By this time they have little to no hp left.

People think that Rogues are overpowered in pvp, but they die just like everyone else if they can't vanish. If they can't win in the first 5 secs, they already lost.

Great Posts.. I was got ganked by a 56 rogue today. (I'm 55 shadow spec'd) anyways after he 1st ganked me he tried another 4 times afterwards to kill me.

I have spec'd and upgraded my SW:Sheild so only have a 15 second reuse. Main aim.. Sheild, SW:P, regen adn start running. He will follow. While running hit Physic Scream. He will start to run off this gives you 2-3 seconds to start you Mindblast. Hit him with that refresh SW:P and sheild and start running again. Kite him about for a bit the second Physic Sream refreshes hit it and nuke.

he should be dead by then.. If he starts to run away from you chase him. Just keep SW:P and hit him with DD's and Mindflays any chance you get.

I used to hate rogues but after reading the above posts and fighting against them I doubt I'll be running from a rogue again!

Cheers all!
