Alright then - but if that's your plan of attack you're going to lose this contest. The whole point is to find bag rogues. What you suggest is finding bad gear.

Here's my first submission.

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Greymane&n=Willywinky

1) no enchants on chest and cloak
2) dagger mainhand and sword offhand. While this isn't worthy of ridicule given the speeds of the weapons in question, he is not specced for either.
3) talents are all over the place


It looks like he has decent gear (certainly better than mine) but his talents are whacky, I am curious to see what his fight sequence is.

edit: forgot to mention that he is mainhanding a dagger but has impSS and no opportunity.

mmm, strange? definately. Terrible? Maybe. I think he's experimenting. Notice that he worked his way to cold blood, blade twisting, and dirty tricks. Those are all some pretty leet skills. His hit points are quite low, though. I would have to see how he rolls in his 5v5 before I pass judgement.

Edit: For an experimental build, I have to admit it IS sloppy as hell.

I can understand experimentation but blade twisting is a waste IMHO. Granted, it would allow you to slow an enemy with an undispellable debuff but who doesn't rock crippling poison in PvP situations?

Obviously there are other things to consider when talking about a bad character, such as unhelpful talents which indicates they may also not be skilled at playing the class, but I wouldn't leave equips out of the whole picture.

blade twisting isn't uncommon for some of the super leet rogues. An extra snare is worth a pair of combo points in my humble opinion. Say he's after a warrior. He can rock dual-deadly and then get a five point envenom in no time whatsoever - AND have a chance of scoring a snare.

How do these people use such terrible specs and not get torn apart by their guild?

I know we're kind of derailing the thread, but this is alla right? :P

My rogue isn't high enough to know a ton about this stuff, but how fast is shiv? Just global CD? Do people spam it with an off-hand deadly poison like you would SS to get the target loaded up with a quickness? like have main hand crippling, off-hand deadly, cheap shot>shiv shiv shiv shiv shiv>finishing move

Since it's only 20 points instead of 40+, you could get all 5 poisons ticking and 5 combo points fast, seems like that's possibly worth not having the SS damage, but I have no idea.

Shiv costs 40 energy, and moreso on slow weapons. But you dont want to sit spamming shiv on a warrior, you also want to do some regular damage. Having it on both just stacks it without have to to throw out an extra forty energy.

Basically, what I've learned in my career of trolling is that in 5v5, control = life. blade twisting, just like the mace stun proc, is yet another way to frustrate your opponents.

edit: The energy required to use Shiv is equal to (20 + 10*weapon speed)

so a 1.3 speed weapon would require (20 + 10*1.3 = 33) energy, whereas a 2.9 speed weapon would require (20 + 10*2.9 = 49) energy.

An ex-guildy. I can't really figure out what his talent spec is trying to do. I only saw it because I saw his fist weapons and thought "Oh, Combat Fists, never had a party with one of those." Some sort of Assassination + Subt build for PvP I'm guessing.

I've never played a rogue, so I don't really have a lot of say whether it is good or bad, but it looks incredibly awkward to me. And yet he has Merciless Gladiator gear, he must've done something right...

Thats just an awkward hemo build. Its not sooo bad, but could use some work. CB and Prep will be interesting in 5 days. Gear ain't so bad either.

Edit: He appears to have logged off in PvE gear.

I already have my two entries in, but I thought that this one deserved to be posted.

It seems that she logged out in some kind of RP costume, but just wait. It's bad. Oh yes, preciousss, very bad.

I don't know about that one.

I'm not even going to touch the kinky RP getup, but the talents (however misplaced) appear to have a coherent goal. The player wanted both CB and AR.
I think the very nature of the gear causes this one to be classified as a joke or incomplete, thus not eligible.

I mean, ****, it doesn't even have weapons.

Yeah, obviously ineligible, but still funny. +50 mana on the chestpiece, classic.

Gear aside, I wouldn't have put that 5 in master of deception when you have combat potency or Seal fate right there @.@ Or heck, vile poisons, some weapon proficiency or even improved gouge. This strikes me as a profile of someone who in general aint bad, but maybe was a little wishy-washy at the start on specs and knows a thing or two now. Probably would benefit from respeccing and spending their points more efficiently. Also, judging by the non level 5 gear they have on, I bet their normal set is pretty decent.

Her helm was a druid piece, complete with the +INT and +SPI that you'd expect. She had leggings with +feral AP on them, and the rest of her gear was similarly retarded.

Again, you'll have to see her with her normal gear on, not that RP stuff.

It's official, this contest is over. This is the worst Rogue in the world. The armory profile isn't quite legendary. He's got no meta, goofy gems (including strength gems), Druid gloves, a level 60 trinket, and he took Tailoring as a profession. His talents are really confused. 3/5 Dagger spec for Combat Daggers, 2/5 Combat Potency, 5/5 Lightning Reflexes, 3/3 Aggression, 4/5 Lethality and 5/5 Vile poisons, yet no Opportunity. None of this quite qualifies him for the title of "Worst Rogue EVAR!", but here's the kicker. He was killed by a level 54 Warlock, even after potting.

Screenshot or it didn't happen? Well, we just so happen to have one here. Read all about it on Zuluhed's realm forums here.

I don't know if that can be used as eligibility nooble. It doesn't really make for a level playing field to include documented playing skill. Besides the fact the he is evidently a ****** his gear isn't that bad (what the hell was he doing during that fight?).

Well, to be fair, Tailoring's easily the best profession to help level Enchanting, which he also has (and yes, I'm probably biased, since those are my professions too). Doesn't excuse the spec, or losing to a lvl 54 though :)

No idea. All I know is I could have one-shotted the lock with a white hit, and he managed to get his *** handed to him.
