Classic WoW Rogue leveling Build (Theorycrafting)

What do you guys think of this build? Fully obtained at level 40.

The Idea: Minimize downtime w/ Dodge, Parry, and abilities that take advantage of both.
The Key Talents: Riposte, Ghostly Strike, Setup

Combat Tree

  • 5/5 Lightning Reflexes 5% Dodge
  • 5/5 Deflection 5% Parry
  • 1/1 Riposte (Disarm target for 6 seconds)
  • 2/2 Endurance (Reduced CD for Sprint + Evasion)

Subtlety Tree

  • 1/1 Ghostly Strike (Increase Dodge 15% for 7 seconds)
  • 3/3 Setup (45% chance - add combo point after dodging)

The best defense (and therefore less downtime) is a strong offense. It’s fun to theorycraft but this build will not work like you would like.

you wont find any new builds in classic wow the game is so old and private servers have found every build you can have.

Agreed. No need to reinvent the wheel.

However, as the old saying goes, “If I knew then what I know now.” It will definitely be interesting

if i knew then what i know know i would have rolled a ret paladin instead of an enhancement shaman…lol

Hey would you mind sharing a build that is decent enough at Raiding / Solo questing AND PVP. I play to do a decent amount of both as I take my time and level up. A Decent Combat build with some PvP elements sprinkled in, Imp Kick and Sprint. Then getting Cold Blood for Evis crits. A 21/30/0 Does that work?
