A Good Solid Rogue PvP Strategy

There is no doubt that the Rogue can be one of the most fun classes to play in World of Warcraft, especially in PvP.  Fighting against other players in the Battlegrounds is truly the one place that playing a Rogue gives you a distinct advantage. Each player is going to develop his own Rogue PvP strategy over time, but a few extra tips can help you to dominate the BGs or the Arena on your Rogue instead of surviving by sheer luck.

One of the biggest problems I have seen with many Rogues in PvP is that for some reason they seem to think that they are tanks. You see them all the time rushing into a fight like a warrior only to get wasted in seconds. This kind of Rogue PvP strategy just doesn't make any sense; as one of the least armored classes why would anyone want to do that. As a Rogue you have one advantage that no other class has; stealth. Not only can you stand still and not be seen; you can sneak up behind your enemy.

This is your biggest strength and one that you should use to your advantage whenever you are involved in PvP combat. Keep in mind that even though you are stealthed, there are those who understand your tactics and can still find you. Be aware of this and keep your eyes peeled so that you see them first. This will always give you the advantage and allow you to stun your opponent and get the first strike advantage.

Herein lies another situation that far too many Rogues fail to drive their class advantages home and score their honorable kills. The Rogue has Sap and Kick, both of which are designed to stun an opponent stopping them in their tracks, this means no spell casting, no melee attacks and even more importantly, no bandaging or healing of any kind including using potions. Instead of hitting your opponent until they are low on health that and then giving them a chance to heal, keep kicking them.

This takes away any chance they have to heal and gives your Rogue the opening he needs to finish the job in style and comfort. The best Rogue PvP strategy is using a strong offense to keep your opponent off guard giving you the chance to take them down at your own pace and score the victory instead of getting yourself killed.
