I am debating about a profession for my rogue. I am not worried about money for now, so I dont want to take 2 gathering professions. I have a few questions if anyone can answer. First off, do you really need alchemy in order to make poison?(I read it somewhere.) Next, is alchemy a good profession for a rogue? Out of the many potions I saw, and beyond me using defensive buffs, possibly agility, and the stones, alchemy doesnt seem to come to its own until around level 35.
I saw leatherworking and I just wondered if it was worth it. I mean, I have enough money to fund myself, but I dont want to squander it on every new piece of armor each level, just for a bit more defensive power. Plus, I saw drums and I wondered if those are worth the leatherworking. Engineering looked cool for goggles but with another character, it took forever for me to level up to the flying tiger goggles.(Not to mention the cost to level it.)
I really dont know what other professions would be rogue friendly, so if anyone has any input, it would be greatly appreciated. And whatever crafting profession I take I already know to take the gathering with it. Finally(since I know the post is getting long) this is my first rogue, can anyone help me with tactics? I know that rogues are a hard class to play because they are very strategic. My first few fights, and even in my most recent fights, I notice that my health is low after each fight, usually against one opponent.
Can anyone help me with battle tactics? Right now I am only at level 5 so I dont have much to work with, and any help would be great. Thank you for your time.
