After a few all-nighters in a row and a lot of showing up to work very tired, I finally reached level 80 this weekend. After a few victory laps in Dalaran to celebrate my victory over experience points and blue bubbles and Hemet Nesingwary (not for long, I’m sure); the looming realization of level-cap responsibilities started to enter my mind. Reputations, heroics, arena points, and honor – I had a lot of work to do. 

So, I took my own advice and decided to start some heroics, but not before spec’ing into my PvP mutilate build. I thought about trying out the truly insane DPS of Honor Amongst Thieves builds, but decided to postpone that until I’ve got some more gear to give it a real trial. Read on to see what I discovered on the way to my first Emblem of Heroism.

If you played much of TBC, you’ll be used to the sort of items that are available from the emblem vendors in Dalaran. Trinkets, off hand weapons, necklaces, and a few random pieces of off set leather make up the core of the emblem offerings. There are two new additions amongst this fairly standard first wave of iLVL 200 rewards; the first of these being the very epic Tier 7 Chest and Glove tokens. 

That’s right, the Heroes’ Bonescythe Breastplate and Gauntlets are purchasable via Emblems of Heroism from vendors in Dalaran. This will allow Rogues to pick up the key 2 piece T7 set bonus (10% more Rupture damage) without ever stepping foot out of a 5 man instance. This level of gear intermingling between 5, 10, and 25 man raids really allows for new Rogues to gear up quicker than ever. I will be taking full advantage of this, allowing me to start preparing my raiding set while still casually running heroics with my casual guildmates.

Rogues are like butterflies. We soar between currents of air, our paths seemingly chaotic. We serve no master, no blood oaths to demons or fear of a higher power. We simply float our way through the world, focusing on preservation of self as the highest goal. Our path is truly our own.

Rogues are also like Joe The Plumber. We’ve got bills to pay, mats to farm, and drops to grind. While driving around Azeroth in your parent’sTraveler’s Tundra Mammoth with your disappearing act may seem attractive, life in WoW isn’t that easy for a Rogue. In order to keep up with content, we’re in constant need of new leather gear to keep us at the top of our game. We’ve got our dues to pay, and one word describes how “The Man” requires us to fulfill these obligations: Reputation. Read on to explore exactly what juicy pieces of rep gear await in Northrend.

Rogues have it pretty good when it comes to questing and grinding. We’re finely tuned killing machines with the defensive capabilities to prevent unnecessary deaths and the offensive capabilities to turn those Group quests into solo outings. I’ve been fielding several questions from other Rogues about where to level, questing tips, and gear choices. After the cut, I’ll break down the first couple levels of the trek to 80 and share what I’ve learned so far.

ive been doing this since wow has been out but dunno if people know about this.
1. You sap your target.
2. Go in for a cheap shot, but as soon as you do the cheap shot turn away and unclick your target to prevent from hitting him. If your good at it you won’t hit the target so it will be cheap shotted and sapped at the same time.
3. Now you can restealth with the extra combo pts and then go in for the kill.

basically this boss casts a spell which turns everyone into ghouls, which is pretty weak dps.

as a rogue you can vanish at the end of the spell and it will be immuned and you can continue to dps hard.

the name of the boss is the prophet tharon’ja
and the ability u have to vanish is return flesh

also as darknz says it also works with ice block and pally bubble

So I found a great place in Northerend to gain LP skills. You can also get quite a few Runic Healing Pots and occasion greens and stuff, so far I’ve gotten 2-5 boxes per round and once your done you kill them off and about 1 min. later they’re all back!!

REQUIREMENTS:
Rogue…
Oracle rep (not frenzyheart faction, its easy to switch just by doing 1 daily[Artruis the Heartless] Kill him and at about 30% he unleashes 2 mobs, one Frenzyheart and one Oracle, kill off Frenzyheart and oracle will stay friendly, than kill off boss and speak to oracle mob.)
[OPTIONAL] A AoE class friend to speed things up quickly =)

FIRST! make this macro
