So... i wanna make an alliance rogue for pvp

but uh… i have no idea what races on the alliance would be good for rogue. specifically for pvp… and even more specifically, for doing bgs (love bgs).

i ‘think’ my best options so far, are either dwarf, kul’tiran, worgen, or to wait and make a lightforged, but i’m not 100% on anything yet.

and so i’m here for a second/third/etc opinion, and advice on what to make. so c’mon gd, what race should i go with for my alliance rogue?

It’ll be Night Elf or Human.

The one that you like, and if/when you arrive at the point where you realize how much of a difference certain racial abilities can make then you revisit the decision.

I vote gnome :slight_smile: very convenient not to get stuck anywhere. Also cute as a button!

Here’s how boring human rogue looks. I mean it’s fine and they can still be fabulous but at the same time, very boring.

Here’s how stinky night elf rogue is. You have to go invisible so often because you get embarrassed of that stank!

You could smell this guy from four threads away, that’s how bad night elf rogue smells.

For your edification, I have commented on three rogues of alliance races. As you can see, gnome is the obvious choice! I hope you have a great day!

wow. kinda surprised so many of you are saying gnome for pvp/bgs…

for sure thought you’d suggest one of the 4 i listed for the racials…

If you care about racials, night elf or human

But you shouldnt care about them especially for bgs. Play what you will find pleasing to look at whenever you’re on your login screen and whatever combat animations will make you excited to play your character

see, the reason i care about racials, is my playstyle is that i go all-in, usually getting nuked-down by the enemy team while my buddies get crap done. yes i die, but i make a good distraction.

you’re describing a warrior not a rogue.

You can do that no matter your race :stuck_out_tongue: the 20% orc stun reduc racial is rarely ever going to buy you the 0.6 seconds you needed to spin the flag for a game winning lead

Shadowmeld is probably what you’re looking for to drop combat and get around faster or avoid a cc

Nah i’d much rather have a good rogue stalling the enemy team than a warrior. A good rogue using his control kit is one of the sexiest thing to witness in a bg

well, i also like to pick people off, and slow-down the enemy.

the dying as i distract, is more when it comes to flag-carriers ‘n’ stuff.
