There might even need to be a guide for how to set up your shadowdance action bar, its not as simple as you may think (how to have all your stealth and non stealth abilities up at the same time without changing keybinds)
since the video title doesnt mention shadow dance: damage guide, you could also mention two more scenarios, you can use shadow dance to sap someone, and a super insanely nieche scenario, if you're out of gap closers you can use shadow dance to use premed deadly throw for a ranged slow, also there are a few garrote openers in there as well
More arena commentary videos. Dueling videos. Analysing mistakes in games and how to improve on them. Rogues arena tier, what you like playing with and why. Your plans for WOTLK classic (PvP, PvE, professions, gearing,)
fucking loved this video for studying all the openers! I was wondering maybe you could make a video (or a reply) detailing what your reaction should be if your opponent trinkets at varying points throughout the opener? and how to deal with them, whether it's their mistake or their choice to trinket there.
Even that i do not play Rogue i understood what was the aim to be and explained part that Shobek wanted to give. Yet that is all for the picture and BG's / Arenas are all different how people trinket out of something. So it all belongs lately how fast you can react to the outcome you wanted to start on. Good also to show the order of the icons you talked about Shobek. Makes it easier for people to understand as well. But next time. Give your training dummy a better name xD Keep up the good work and style on those traitors!
You are a true rogue master, I prepare myself my macro then I saw your video and is perfection, a true rogue broder . Im praud that I was close enough to a rogue master like you,
not sure if the evis chain is the best opener. i tried it and compared it with my opener, premed slice into cheap dance ambush ambush kidney ambush ambush and the damage is comparable. the problem with evis opener is that you might have a gap between your kidney and you might get stuck at 4 combo points as well which is not good and not consistent like the 4 ambush rotation
I know this vid is a couple of years old but it was the first one, and best, when I was trying to figure out how to use shadow dance. I’m a new rogue in Cata. What about using rupture instead of evis? Wouldn’t you do that on a warrior because of his plate?
Hello friend can you help me out pls? It cant be after eviscerate 5 combos again it has 3 only. 2 from ambush and 1 from talent tree bonus? In the first one you show it is not full kidney stun? Right?
suggestion: make a guide for different profession choises in wotlk for rogue, show off different pros & cons from the professions (ex. engineering etcetc...)
good afternoon which and the build you are using in this video , wanted to test with my rogue , only show half the build , wanted to copy this build , thank you, and great video ^^
Very nice guide, thanks so much for the great content. Just wanted to mention that at 6:03, how do you use premed since you are not on stealth? ambush, kidney , premed?
OIII IT ALL DEPENDS PHIL IF ITS IN ARENA OR WORLD PVP, ALSO WHAT COMP YOU'RE GOING UP AGAINST. I PREFER AMBUSH BC OF DAMAGE AND FORCE THEM TO BLIND THEN STUN :D OI OI LMK IF THAT HELPS!!
@@Shobek I was thinking more world pvp because I want to beat my friend in a duel but I cant seem to open on him because he counters me with blink or iceblock. If I break ice barrier with ambush I am forced to vanish the freeze quickly before he uses deep freeze. If I open with stuns he just blinks out. And if he uses iceblock I try to blind him after and restealth but he has 2nd iceblock and I am out of cooldowns
There is a mistake in your sequence of moves for max damage. After shadow dance, you said ambush will give you 5 combo points, that is not possible, Ambush will give you 4 combo points, that is 2 from ambush, 1 from Initiative and 1 from Ruthlessness. So the shadow dance + ambush + kidney shot will be 4 pt kidney shot
ambush can give 4 if it crits due to honor among thieves. also this is entirely dependent on ruthlessness proccing. this should've been pointed out in the video.
Thats why i always do rupture after first cs.. big chance the dot crits and allows for ez 5 combo kidney and more fluent rotation afterwards.. if dot and ambush doesnt crit u can go for a garrote in before the kidney.. that ofc only on kill target.. even in prepatch with only 110 energy still possible to do 3 ambushes
Great guide thanks - I just boosted a rogue and I’m learning to play. First time playing rogue. My shadow dance runs out before I can finish the rotation you outlined. Is that just because I don’t have enough haste on my gear?
You got to wait for level 80 to grab the vigor talent and the shadow dance glyph when wrath launches For now in pre patch I open with premed - ambush - kidney shot - dance - ambush - Eviscerate - cheap shot - ambush - Eviscerate
this is rly DAMN good guide but only thing I dont understand is part 1:30, when u get 5 cp from Premeditation + cheap and u spend it on evis, then u shadow dance ambush (3CP) how did he got 5cp kidney from 1 ambush? 😕
@@erikrichter6855 k... Whats that passive called that gives u those free CP when u crit? Maybe I dont have it because I was trying to do same as he is doing and every time I get 3cp from 1 ambush so I am confused what do I do wrong?
@@strajke_ofc2487 Hello Strajke, had the same question of you, wiped my talents and did some testing, you generate 2 cp from ambush, another point bonus from initiative, and the last point, you get from honor amongst thieves.
im having a problem when i activate shadow dance it switches to a empty ability bar, not my stealth one wtf? is it a bug in pre patch? also meaning i only have 5 seconds to quickly try add an ability to the new shadow dance bar
Hey bro I’ve tried this but the players I go up against are moving and not standing still like in your guide. Can you please make a guide on how to make players stand still with their backs towards you?
@@Shobek Thanks for the reply! I tried this again but they still seem to be moving, I will try once more but this time I will tell them not to use trinkets, racials, or any CC invulnerabilities, it’s not fair if they break my stuns!
Finally a decent guide without all the nonsense fluff from someone that actually knows the class.
My guy starts early on the WOTLK hype knows whats gonna get the views, keep up the good work man I'll be waiting for the in depth guides later on

@Shobek this please?
As he said in the video, just bait their trinket with a kidney
This is one of the many reasons why wotlk had the best class design
Except dk.
Would you happen to have a talent guide? I saw you didn't go for cheat death and was curious where you put your points. Thanks:)

In your burst prep combo don't forget to use SHS for even more damage
its situational if u need it to get to them isntead of just dmg
Excellent video ! Althought I'll need to know your talent build to be able to reproduce those exact openers... Can you show it ?

you should be using details or recount as well to show the difference in openers instead of assuming

thats what i was saying, after evis you dance and ambush i end up with 3 cp i dont get how he got 5
I remember being undefeated as Assassin vs DKs in wrath. Rogues were incredible vs Plate. So much fun.

Is that a Specialized Allez in the back? Thanks for the vid btw
it is ^.^
Can somebody please explain me where dafuq the 3rd combo point from cheap shot 1:25 comes from :)
talent in the sub tree called Initiative
Awesome, never played rogue but your videos made me hyped to start nerding this class! Thanks and keep ' em coming!

It’s too difficult. I like muti rogue and his rotation )
i dont see eviscerate in your action bar or am i blind ?

Doesn't show it on the icons, but he says he would shadow dance at that point, which allows you to use prep out of stealth

im so damn glad i ran into this video my guy good fuckin shit!
very high quality guide.
why you get 4 cp from ambush ?
For arena you recomend suti or assa?
how do you get 5 cps from ambush from 0, I've got only 3 when I use it like you show?
Much apreciate you for sharing beautifull stuff
Did you play on Grobbulus
best rogue vid ive ever seen
What is the server you used, I really want to train my rogue for wotlk, but I don’t know where to do so?
So you never open with Ambush? I'm a new rogue player, I always shadowstep+ambush+kidney+hemox2+evis
Wait im on WOTLK pre-patch atm and my energy doesn't go up after eviscerate, did i skill something wrong in my talents
thanks so much, really interesting!
What a good video ty sir
So rogues HAVE to be daggers in pvp now for ambush? I didn't play tbc but was a GM in classic so I am lost
why no premed and slice and dice?
why it gives you 5 cp insted of 3 when you ambus in shadow dance?

Is assa rogue also viable? Or is sup the best?
does cheapshot or kidney shot dr with normal stuns?

Thanks brother 🙏
is it not worth just macroing premed into cheapshot? or is there a situation where you wouldent want to premed when stunning?
