PvP spec/rotation guideNote: I tried to keep this guide as short and simple as possible.
After alot of digging I've finally managed to build a spec that offers a suitable rotation for Hemo specced rogues
Heres the link for analysis
http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#fhebotzZZxMeobhRqI haven't quite seen any people around using this spec,or finding it on the net,but I still think this build I managed to sort out can offer a devastating rotation =)
Lets start off with the basics of using this build as a Hemo rogue.
Most basic opener - Cheap Shot followed by 2x Hemos and later Kidney.
After the kidney you should use up to 2 hemo's later followed by CB > Evis for a finishing move.
If the opponet still remains on his feet,it's important to use CD's including Blind,Vanish,Evasion for avoiding Unnecassary Damage dealt to you by opponent.
Most likely if a melee,engage in a 1v1 combat with evasion on.
If a caster go with a Vanish to restart your opener / Or blind and restart the opener.WARNING- It is important to keep an eye out for Diminishing Returns,you can avoid them by sapping the opponent and wait for the DR (Diminishing Return) to wear off,thn restart the opener.
If you don't know what Diminishing Returns are:
Diminishing return means that certain spells and abilities are less effective against player characters if they are used frequently within a short period of time.The most common hemo build that includes prep/CB other than this one is the 24/3/24 one,in which we have talents in Imp kidney for heavier dmg while target is affected by kidney,however I have managed to cover that up with deadliness which offer a 10% AP increase which is implemented at all times unlike the imp kidney,which leaves us to the conclusion that we can deal more dmg with deadliness in a basic stunlock than Imp Kidney,that is unless some1 is aiding you while target is affected by kidney,but I'm talking about you alone vs an opponent so that won't matter =).
Now what makes this build more different than any other hemo rogue specs out there,Fact is, this build offers deep Sub talents with CB which offers great rotations that if geared enough can lead to a kill in one stunlock,depending on the opponent's armor/gear,but over my expirements,I've safely concluded that 70% of times,if you have t2+ you can defeat a heavily geared leather/clothier in the matter of cheap shot > kidney > CB evis.For GreeniesNow using this spec as a greenie would be best suited if pvp'ing,because this build is relying on heavy CD using which can offer you high survivabilty with deadliness to improve your lack of DPS.
I personally recommend having tea all the time especially if green.
Now as a casually 0.5 geared rogue (or similiar), fact is tea has a big role,as it can offer you a chance to defeat your opponent in a simple stunlock.
Note - I am comparing this spec to the popular 24/3/24 spec for Pros and Cons,and here are the results.
Pros: Deadliness for a decent DPS improvement (Especially if Lowgeared),CB/PREP for good stunlocking rotations and high survivability due to PREP, DEEP subtlety spec with key talents -Dirty Deeds,Iniative,Ghosty Strike,DeadlinessCons: The removal of imp gouge would (IMO) be the biggest loss,Removal of IMP kidney (replaced by Deadliness).This build is made essentially for
BOTH Geared and Undergeared Rogues.
The next thing I'd add now is the key of managing to successfully kill opponents mostly in a single stunlock.
The Key Item for every rogue to have is
Thistle Tea Getting Thistle tea is easy
REQUIREMENTS - 1x Swiftthistle ( Found in: Briarthorn/Mageroyal) 1x Refreshing Spring Water (Sold by vendors in faction cities)
Cooking - 60/300
That's pretty much it of what I would like to add,if you have questions about rotations feel free to PM me =).
Ty for reading.
