Bosses from 65 upFollow

Unfortunately my mum has been playing WoW longer than I have and has a level 70 rogue - she has said that the bosses from here on up are very hard on a rogue as they have lots of AOE and are generally a pain in the backside to a leather wearing semi-squishy. (Unfortunate as I am 37 and she still bosses me around!)

This being my first toon up at this level can you suggest anything that may help? Is it just a case of making sure your healer is really switched on? I'm level 65 combat daggers and have been going AGI and Stam on my gear up till this point. Also is there a way to make sure you are on decent teams or is it all pure luck?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Tanks are so hard - that's why mine is now my bank toon!

Instance bosses scale appropriately. A level 72 boss will do just as much damage to a level 70 player as a 67 to a 65 or 62 to 60.

Only difference are level 73 raid bosses who can deal crushing blows in addition to crits. Since you're not supposed to be standing in front of a boss anyway, this is of little concern to you though.

I really hope you've been gearing up with +hit, AP and +crit as well. As much as Agility is important to us, those three are equally (if not a bit more) important.

On the note of the bosses. They can be hard if you're not giving the tank time to get aggro. As a rogue (or any other class for that matter), you shouldn't be getting hit in the first place. The AoEs aren't too bad, if possibly just step away and bandage to help the healers out a bit (some rogues would frown upon this because you're "supposed to be dpsing all the time"), but it's hard to dps when you're dead.

If you're in an AoE fight, you can always use evasion, but that's just a waste imo.

Thanks very much that does make very good sense.

I am starting to move to gearing up on those other stats so it's good I know that I am at least moving in the right direction!

Cheers

OMG you let me lead - why'd you do that?!
