Ok, i suck at rogue. I am so horrible. I do great in PvE, but when it comes to PvP i cannot kill anything. I'm so squishy and i cant hold my own against anything within 4 levels of me unless i am lucky. I dont think its my armor, but then again i hope so cuz that would mean it isnt just me. heres my armory

I'm in first!!!

1. Choose your target intelligently. Kill clothies, dont attack tanks on purpose. Even if you get the opener on them, they will take your damage with a smile.

2. Keyboard turner? Cause if so, GG against any class.

3. Don't let casters get a spell off. CS, KS, and my favorite is kick.

4. Vanish is your best friend. I keep 100 charges on me. Nothing better than landing a cheap shot and pouring on the combo points IN THE MIDDLE of a fight.

5. What is your usual finisher? IMO KS and rupture > evisc.

I feel your pain. My first time in WSG (in the 19's) I never even saw a flag. The skill level of players in there is WAY higher than the 29's. Don't fight twinks.

My non-sequitor: I dueled Xenothan (39 twink <bombs over Baghdad>) when I was level 50. We went without stealths cause otherwise I could just see him. He won 5 out of 5, usually a close fight where his trinkets were the deciding factor.

First thing I noticed that suprised me was that you were wearing a pair of level 26 pants at level 48. The next thing that suprised me was when I did a find upgrade and saw they were in the top 5 for you! I guess I can't say anything...I wore barbaric bracers all the way to 52....

Like noted by Dr. Mayhem, pick your fights and l2keybind. There is an excellent post made by EonSprinter linked in the sticky that saved me from my clicker/keyboard turner ways.

I am a mouse turner, and i have everything bound to my mouse (5 button mouse). I did all that after reading some post about it here. And my finisher is always kidney shot. Although after respecing hemo ill prob use rapture a bit more since it has increased dmg, but KS is still godly. I was thinking about ditching some AGI and trying to find more STA or maybe just getting some STA enchants (think theres +7 STA to some stuff). Would that be wise? I'm gonna get thrash blade to replace my serpent slice when i get around to making a mara group. Pretty happy with my MH though, bought it off AH for 20g, seller must have forgot te extra 0 or sumthin.

Lol, rogues with rapture. Beautiful...

Anyway, here's the best help I can give you.

1.) You're not yet 70. Real "pvp" doesn't start until this level. For instance, a mage at level 10 is completely dominated by a paladin, but mages at 70 can wipe the floor with the pallys. You don't have all of your abilities yet and the game doesn't function quite as it should. However, usually rogues come out on top in virtually all areas of pvp pre 70 so that disturbs me a bit...

2.) Use swords or maces. PVP'n with daggers is hopeless.

3.) Bleeds/DoTS are a bad idea most of the time. A person taking DoT cannot be gouged or more importantly blinded, and blind is one of your best abilities. The only time you should use a bleed is either on warriors whom you have already blinded or on a rogue you want to keep from vanishing.

4.) Never buy weapons. You'll always find something better in the world.

5.) Gear for resil/stam when you hit 70. Your gear is really quite insignificant before hand (not that in it won't make a difference in your playing, but you won't be using a level 40 epic at 70 anyway).

6.) Get 70. WoW doesn't start until you hit the max level. Everything level 1-69 is pointless and doesn't matter at all once you hit 70.

7.) Be smart. Rogue is a hard-to-play-well class, you can't just hit buttons and own people. Sometimes it's a good idea to let a heal go off so you can stun them later on with more energy for example. You just have to know your opponent very well, know everything they can do and exploit that. Pop cloak early to avoid an AoE fear, time attacking hunters to where their flare will still be on cooldown, make people burn long cooldowns before vanishing and letting them run out. It really just comes with practice. If you'd prefer to just walk over everyone without ever really having to try, just roll a warrior.

Ok, i have a lesson for anyone who reads this. NEVER complain about how much you suck at rogue to your girlfriend who also plays WoW and knows your login info...They might help you in a way that makes no sense...look at my armory to understand.

You have no gear. . . HAHAHA. erm um sorry.
I am not laughing at the no gear part, but even if you think she is 'the one' she shouldnt know your info. One bad fight, whether its mended later, could get your account wiped XD

Keyboard turning is using the "aswd" keys to turn your character. Using the mouse with both buttons in works faster and is more accurate.

This might make sense:
