QQ im a leecher flame if you will.

Stunlocking as a 70 rogue = useless. Any level before you hit the 60-70 pvp bracket sure, it works alright. The best ShS rogues either open with a CS, 5 point Expose armor/Rupture or Garrote/Rupture vanish and watch the dots fuk your oponent up (Garrote/Rupture is also used to Rupture kite warriors which is easy if you have an inch of skill). Even Mut rogues 5 point expose armor/Rupture to leave there Kidney shot as an extra form of interupt/CC later on in the fight. Playing on a 1920 mage/rogue 2v2 myself timing my KS for my mages shatter combo is essential to winning any arena battle. Frankly rogues that think their OP because they can stun someone for 9 seconds = fail. Obviously the people your fighting with these tatics needs to L2pvptrinket. GG.

Why would you any-point expose armor if you're just going to bleed them, vanish, /point and /laugh? Correct me if I'm wrong, but the reason why rupture and garrote do so much damage is because they both negate armor.

I'll try and put something up about how to counter rogue stunlocking. Perhaps I'll do it class-by-class or just in general. Probably I'll find something on a website...

It never works out this way. In PvP you need to know ur class and the one ur facing. Ur opponent often has many ways to get out of ur stunlock. My advice is get to know ur class and all the other classes (it's rly not that hard) and based on ur knowledge and what class ur facing choose ur tactic.

This is clearly the way against shaman

This actually is the normale Niar stunlocking trick he used on all his video's?

i think every normale rogue should know this. Though I use alot beter tactics then this

Do i smell noob? Armor penetration was the BIG thing introduced in the patch containing S3. if you notice basically all S3 armor that a melee class can use has armor penetration on it. Expose armor + Imp expose armor = GG. 2.7k Hemo crits ftw maybe? Yes rupture/garrote negate armor which makes them good against warriors/paladins, And if your a rogue trying to fight a Warrior in melee as the guy a few posts up said is the only way to beat them, Please L2p a rogue before you post on the forums. Stunning a warrior = Warrior heals 10% of his HP, Critting a warrior = +25% melee damage, Dodging a warrior = 2k Overpower to the face. Rupture kiting and timing your SS for when he intercepts you is the best way to kill a warrior if your any good. Expose armor is mainly used on Cloth/Mail classes to kill them that much faster.

This actually has some flaws, a perfect stunlock goes like this

Cheap Shot > Hemo/SS/Mut > gouge for 5th combo point > Kidney shot > Hemo/SS/Mut > Gouge/Blind > Re-Stealth > Sap > Cheap Shot > Hemo/SS/Mut > gouge > Kidney Shot > Hemo/SS/Mut > Vanish > Sap > Cheap Shot > /SS/Mut > gouge > Kidney Shot > Hemo/SS/Mut.

Useing all your cooldowns that is the perfect stunlock, if they arent dead by now. You suck at PvP.

Thanks... Listen, I tried the best I could at this (which just so happened to be taking a rogue guide off a site). I was just trying to help people with this. It's open for corrections, but not flaming. Keep nasty comments to yourself.
