I like fury warrior for the play style but it gets boring for me. Rogue looks interesting though and I want to play it but only if its not a high difficulty level and as long as it does great dps in m+ and raids because that’s the content I want to get into.
P.S. - I’m posting here because class forums are kinda dead right now.
Rogue specs play and perform very differently from one another, and the only thing they really share between them consistently is the combo points and energy design.
Your bread and butter for M+ will probably be Outlaw, but Assassination often does respectably on bosses and trash if they’re built to focus single-target damage or AoE damage respectively.
Having said that, Rogue also tends to be one of those classes where the best spec to play changes overnight with the release of a content patch.

Notice how he didn’t mention subtlety at all? That’s another thing he did RIGHTDon’t go near subtlety. But as he said, stuff changes overnight. Outlaws your best bet at this moment if you had to pick one
Every class is equally easy to level.
I absolutely love my rogue, been maining it since wrath. Assassin is there easiest spec, and outlaw isn’t hard to pick up either. Ive always preferred the slower playstyle of assassin. It still does amazing dps, but lacks burst AoE, as the majority of the damage comes from multi dotting.
ok cool cool do they have a high difficulty level? I liked fury warrior awhile ago because they weren’t so complex like some other classes.
Until it’s the best raid spec for one content patch. Then you’ll bust your hump learning it, hate its stupid guts for a number of weeks, and go back to Outlaw/Assassination the next patch.

Exactly what happened to my sub rogue so I just gave up and switched to Druid
I don’t really mind how easy it is to level, I just want to know how easy it is in m+ and raids like learning rotations etc
I like outlaw for its reactive rotation. Not set in stone, but you got to keep on top of extra combo points from crits, when CDs pop up, how bad roll the bones procd, and fit your blade flurries in for the most output.
In order of complexity:
Outlaw (not complex, almost no debuff management or resource pooling necessary)
Assassination (mildly complex - some debuff management/resource pooling)
Subtlety (average complexity - some debuff management, frequent/extensive resource pooling)
It’s more complicated than Fury for sure, but it’s still not all that hard.
Those poor sub rouges 
We’re all wishing you get out of the hospital soon.
oh ok sweet ty for the input 
Outlaw rotation for single target is the same for aoe. You just hit blade flurry first.
Simple class, simple rotations, nice big toolkit with plenty of options for all manners of trouble. Spell immunity/cleanse, physical avoidance, cheat death, cc, aggro dump, aggro misdirect, feint and if assassin some nice poisons.
The need for a rogue has died down a bit due to new seasonal affix but people will still take rogues easily.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a raid that didn’t have at least one rogue. Pretty much every tier has one of their specs doing well.
We don’t talk about Subtlety.
No problem. If you decide to start off with Outlaw, do keep in mind that your primary self-buff (which is a part of your DPS ability usage) is random. You will cast Roll the Bones, and it will laugh in your face. Depending on your personal luck, this may happen rarely, or it may happen often.
Id be happy if the just scrapped that spec entirely. Ive never liked it, and apparently blizzard cant figure it out either as it’s gone through like 50 different crappy iterations.
that sounds really cool haha a random buff? I think I like rogue now
Or you’ll roll all six and your tank will laugh at you by choosing this time to do anything but pull

Yeah, but it’s unpredictable which makes it not so great. But outlaw has tons of mobility and stuns. I think it’s pretty great for soloing.
Subtlety was pretty boss in late Legion, especially with the nearly unlimited supply of Smoke Powder (free Vanish, no CD) available from Noggenfogger’s vault. Add to that the complete immunity to fall damage they had, and it was stupidly good for air-raid style wPvP.
That is, sadly, all they were good for.
