For PvP purposes

XeratixXeratix Member Posts: 130

I just finished leveling my Hunter, and i thought i should roll a Rogue.

Now, I was choosing between the 2 Races: Night Elves & Gnomes. Night elfevs start of with more stamina, thought gnomes are much smaller and harde to detect in stealth mode.

Do one of these matters not matter? Should i be small, and have less stamina, or tall with more stamina. The height of a Character dosent really matter in PvE, but in PvP i think it does, but im not sure.

Also, the professions. I only use professions for farming, not for pvp or wep/armer. I would love to get Herb.&Mining. but they both need the rad. on tjhe minimap. I was wandering , if i needed to farm alot, should i take herb. and something, or Mining, and something?

________________________________________________________________

Id also like to add, that a Rogue could beat a Hunter, if succesfully attacked with a stealth attack. Also the same with 2 Rouges vs 2 Hunters?

    For pvp purposes...definately roll the gnome.  They are smaller and harder to target in pvp, and also they have much better racials for pvp.

    consider NE get an automatic upgrade of their stealth skill. Gnome get the "free from movement" ability though...



    I would say go NE just because i cannot stand gnomes :D

    With auto targeting I do not think the height of your char is much an issue, but it might be

    Gnome rogue all the way mate... the racial ability called "escape artist" helped me many times while fighting a mage or druid.  Also, a gnome is perfectly suited for the rogue class, you'll be a fast little ninja



    As for the profession: as a gnome you get +15 engineering so in that case you could do mining + engineering.  I also find mining to be much more effective for making gold then herbalism.

    Ignore the stamina advantage of Night Elves. It's irrelevant except for your first few levels.



    When choosing between races you should always look first at the racial skills. In this case both make good rogues Night Elves have Shadowmeld and a dodge bonus, whilst gnomes have escape artist and an engineering bonus.



    Looks quite close to me. Which do you prefer the look of? Which do you feel more comfortable playing?

    Out of all Alliance racials Gnomes have the best. You will use Escape Artist more than you can immagine. It is very good racial for a rogue, who can't afford to be out of range of his target.



    Second best race for a rogue for PvP is a dwarf, sorry not a Night Elf. Dwarf's racial allows you to remove bleed effects and do second cheap shot on a warrior.



    NE is good for casters (drink in pve in piece) and hunters (pvp ganking and pve stealth instance runs), not so much for rogues.

    Shadowmeld's tooltip is innacurate - it cannot be used together with stealth and it is not "an upgrade" to your stealth.



    Height of the character, believe it or not, does not matter so much if you are a melee class. You will be wasting time if you dont use Tab to select all those idiots running in circles around you. "Tab" even beats Nogenfogger/World Enlarger on Gnomes... if it wouldn't Blizz would have nerfed it long ago.

    I'd go for Gnome. Even though most people Tab-target, they're way harder to detect in PvP because of their size, and Escape Artist is an amazing Rogue PvP skill. Besides, you won't be just another Night Elf, there are far too many of them as it is

    Jesus is your buddy!

    1.  I would choose a horde race.  That's just me though.  Blood Elves make pretty excellent rogues.  Blood Elves can regain energy with their racial ability, get an AoE silence, and have 5 to all resists.



    2.  I would suggest herb/skin.  Herbalism will give you mats for some of your abilities.  Blinding powers and Thistle Teas.



    3.  As for Rogue vs. Hunter, it depends.  If you get the jump on a hunter he will more than likely freeze trap you as soon as you miss a step in your stunlock.  You will then be kited until you get 60+ abilities that help you combat this tactic.  I would also like to point out that there is no WIN NUMBER ONE OWN YOU class in the game.  Every class can be really awesome in a group setting.  Hunters are just DPS machines.

    You wanna be a gnome because they can run in between peoples legs and stab em! harder to grab hold of
  • shepx22shepx22 Member Posts: 133
    Im sure you got the point by now, but go Gnome rogue. There racial abilities and shorter model make it better, although people say there harder to target when you can easily tab target, but they are harder to see, and sometimes posses getting an extra hit in before noticed as when you see a big night elf you instantly are alert as soon as they destealth (coming from a mage stand point).
