Overview

Rogues excel in PvP as they have multiple different crowd controls, interrupts, and ways to counter their foes. A well played Rogue is one of the most deadly forces in the arena, having a toolkit that allows them to win in almost any situation.

  • Subtlety — Subtlety is THE PvP spec for Rogues. It offers increased survivability, burst damage and utility through its many different, unique talents and spells. Subtlety vastly outperforms both Combat and Assassination specs in a PvP environment.

Rogue Macros and Addons in Wrath of the Lich King

Macros and Addons can greatly benefit your gameplay, especially in a high-paced environment like PvP where no two encounters are the exact same. Macros specifically can lessen the time it takes you to perform an action by combining two commands into a single button. Addons can increase the amount of information you are receiving in order to be able to better make a decision as to what your next move should be. Listed below are our guides for Rogue-specific Addons and Macros; most of these are targeted towards PvE but can also be quite useful for PvP.
