[truly] Detailed gear guide for Raiding as a Rogue

[tomatsu]

Recently, I've discovered a game called World of Warcraft. It has taken the world by storm, starting with anyone who calls themselves gamers to casual people that are looking for a good time. You absolutely can't miss this sensation. Right now, I'm going to go over an in-depth guide over the recommended equipment that you should use if you wish to get into Raiding for the Rogue class.
There are many different types of equipment that are great in certain situations, and that's exactly what I'm for. I'm going to tell you exactly what type of equipment you should use depending in the situation, starting with the weapons, then onto the many types of armors, and then on to the accessories! Without further ado
!

AGH! Wall of text crits me for 1337! (1336 overkill)

[Ginchy]

My eyes hurt.

So basically all you did was name some items to and tell us the stats?

You arent going to be able to raid with these, as most of them are blues.
Try throwing some naxx 10 gear in there maybe?

I dont Copy EVERYTHING and dont think ur smart douch, i work for that website

No, you don't.

[ßetray]

I would find this would be most suitable to people who just bought or had an 80 rogue powerleveled for them, not something they've been leveling on their own.

Almost anyone whose leveled an 80 rogue should know the basics of rogue gear, how to find upgrades, and what stats they should be looking for.

Any information they would be missing would be things such as: Hit Cap (white dmg MH, White dmg OH, Special attacks), Expertise Cap, etc.

You also said you would give details as to situational use, which you did not. You just copied the info from the items and pasted them here. Not really a guide, more just a statistics page.

Also, you didn't provide any links to gear, which would have been more useful than just typing in bigger font in so many colors that an epileptic go into seizure.

And as Jesperk pointed out, copying pasting isn't a great idea.
That guide was posted in JANUARY '09. You've been a member of this site since November of '07. EVEN if you 'work' for that site, this is a HORRIBLE excuse for a guide.
