Falkirion is right, forget about intellect and spirit. A rogue uses no mana, so intellect and spirit wont do a thing for you. Agilty is preferable to strength, ag gives attack power and crit. Stack heaps of ag & strength when you can, stamina if your going to pvp alot. Otherwise apart from that Zealot weapon and some gear with intellect which can't be avoided at early lvls i suppose your doing not bad at least you have blues and i see a epic in there.

When I started wow I was such a noob that i ran around in white gear with the odd green until i reached 70

Anyway im not to clued up about the rogue I just know the basics someone here might give ya better advice. Ask me about the hunter or warrior and no problem.

Great, thanks for the link, will stack more ag and str from now on!
Thanks to both of you
Was expecting to get more negatives than that lol, guess like you said kiwi, "not doing too bad".

Another question i have quickly, how do i leave a guild?
I'm in this guild atm which...err, well, i'm the only one in it!
I got asked to join this guild way back when i was lvl 18 or so back in Org, someone whispered to me u wanna join?, i said yea sure (stupid me, thought i was special getting asked to join a guild ), so how do i leave it/disband it?
Should i disband it or should i get members for it?
When i'm playing, i see on the ui ppl asking for members to join their guild, they say "/w me for details/join, guild advertising for no rush and any lvl members etc etc....
how do i reply to that? Or should i be better off to go to a guild master and join that way?
Where is the best place to join? Orgrimmar? Any major city?
Also, once i join a guild, what are the benefits?
Apart from instancing with grps etc etc?
Strength and Honour!
Oh, one more thing:
I have the option of dual speccing, cost: 1000G Is this a good thing to have?
Should i? Should i wait?
What exactly is dual speccing? I'm aware of specs, obviously, but the benefits of having dual? I remember in cleft of shadows seeing someone and they gave me the option of doing this, saying things like i can have 2 action bars with 2 specs running concurrent?
Or something like that.

yeah for sure...

I'd hate to work out how much money i've spent playing WOW.

4 years @ NZ$50 per 60 days. ummmm

NZ$1200....

yep i was hooked. havent played for about 4 months now.

2 lvl 80 pallies (1 horde & 1 ally)
1 lvl 80 hunter (horde)
1 lvl 61 warrior (pre Burning Crusade toon)
a few lvl 19 twinks
a few lvl 29 twinks

all up i got about 28 toons, all on pvp servers, cus pve is for noobs.


Though blizz nerfed my twinks cus they introduced stuff that mean my enchants now longer work on low lvl toons.

Yes its a grind fest, but its still good fun.

Stranglethorn's great for that PvP that is...esp if you're a Rogue.

Another question i have quickly, how do i leave a guild?

To disband the guild as the guild master type: /gdisband
To leave the guild (not as a guild master) type: /gquit

Should i disband it or should i get members for it?

Thats really up to you. I would try join a guild till your ready to be the boss of your own.

When i'm playing, i see on the ui ppl asking for members to join their guild, they say "/w me for details/join, guild advertising for no rush and any lvl members etc etc....how do i reply to that? Or should i be better off to go to a guild master and join that way?

In chat click on there name to whisper them. Or you can ask in chat that your looking to join a guild. eg: lvl 41 Rogue looking for Guild.

Where is the best place to join? Orgrimmar? Any major city? Also, once i join a guild, what are the benefits? Apart from instancing with grps etc etc?

Yeah cities. Guild banks, depending on the guild most will allow you to grab items you might need from there bank you'll probably have to rank up a bit in the guild before your allowed to access the bank. Ranking up could be anything from helping other guildies or donating to bank etc., Friendship, buddies round to help you out if your getting ganked by a lvl 80 that just wont piss off (or camped - they stay around and wait for you to spawn then kill you again over and over and over) usually if your in a good guild they will come to your rescue. Later on when 80 if you guild is organized then you wont have to worry about finding a pug to do the high instances - just run with the guild. Gear up easily.

I have the option of dual speccing, cost: 1000G Is this a good thing to have?

I think hes meaning the 5 points in the first-tier Dual Wield Specialization for the rogue? Yea put points in that.

Dual spec is so you can have two specs as atm you can only have one going. Having two you can switch between specs anytime and not need to pay or head to city to change specs. Probably not needed till your higher lvl. But its a must have later on. Example: Dual specs you have combat for dungeons and Subtlety for pvp - you would be able to change to any one on the fly. Or you might have two different types of PVE specs you want to set up.

LOL

I found out why i spent soooo much money playing wow :-

Watch this =

You know, I've been playing games for... well, as long as I can remember. Whenever people talk about a game, I can usually follow the discussion. But WoW-speak... heck no, maybe only half of it. You know, the part that's in plain English.

Its better that way, once you work out the game, well, it starts getting serious.

(note Hunters should not wear Strength gear ever!)

My first main was a hunter i had all strength gear and i was so proud i went and sat in Orgrimmar showing off my skilled hunter!

Those days were the best times in wow for me as i didn't know a thing so didn't really care if someone laughed at me or whispered me ''Wow is not for you bro'', you noob get better gear etc., I was this huntard running around exploring the world not knowing what the hell i was suppose to be doing but i had the most fun back then.

Its only when you learn the game and realise the gear grinding, right spec, having the right pet in pvp as in the hunters class, gemming your gear correctly etc, then the game becomes a CHORE. You start taking the game to serious. The fun is still there but it ends up like a job kinda way.

LOL

Yeah that would be right, I read they have a team of psychologist working for them to help make wow as addictive as possible.

What realm you play on jWilliams, My mains are on Tich have many toons on dreadmaul.

I started playing on blackrock. (4 years ago) hated waiting for 2 hrs to log in due to the queue.

So was happy when 1st ocianic realm opened... frostmourne (AKA lag-mourne).

Then around the release of BC, I transfered my toons to Barthilas. Hated getting pwned by horde in BG's. So started my horde toons around the release of Lich King on dreadmaul.

Aye, that' pretty much what I think is wrong with the game. Dont take that personally or something; if you have fun playing, then by all means, it's just not a game for me.

I play RPGs for the exploring, it's why I like Bethesda's RPGs so much. In WoW, even in the 2 weeks I played it, it became a chore. Not to mention that when a good item finally drops, it's more than likely some tit in your party, who has absolutely no use for it, makes off with it to sell it somewhere. That really sealed the deal for me; not the grinding, that I could kinda deal with, but the poeple behaving like jackasses everywhere you go.

If ya want to rpg go on a RPPVE realm, your find it more friendlier although its full of nutcases who think they live in that world.

This is why i pvp, I dont even bother with questing just play pvp in battlegrounds and level up that way plus its alotta fun. When Blizzard made lvling up in BG's available it started a whole new game for me.

WH is a good game but i thought the pvp side of it was shockingly bad.

Never been into PvP that much, but the later tier massive keep sieges and stuff are pretty nice. And of course, beating the hell out of the Order scum and then chasing them all around the realms not allowing them to recapture anything. Was fun.

[Arclight]

Ja, don't have that PvP drive either, not very competitive. Aparently that makes you "special".

If I played WoW, it would probably be PvE, and then the grinding doesn't attract me at all. Neither does dealing with nutcases btw, but I'd prefer that over the jackasses any day.

Seriously though, I get that poeple want to roleplay a roleplaying-game, but sometimes they take it a little too serious, not for me.
