A Rogues Guide to Contributing in Battlegrounds

[Buhzerk]

Hey guys, went ahead and made a video, literally just posted it and thought I'd go ahead and share it here, I hope you enjoy!



Thanks for watching.

I recorded using FRAPS, and had it running through a few Rated/Random BGs.. I'm not saying i'm good or anything, just sharing. Recorded on my 3rd day with new binds, if you wondering about some of the clicking/accidental trinket.
The video was a lot more clear when I was editing it, sorry about it being kind of crappy. More soon to come, leave questions/comments here, hope you enjoy the video.

I'm aware that compared to some of you that "I suck" but I'm alright with that.

I know its simple stuff, but with the number of rogues out there, It's bound to help someone.

Thank you for the guide, not everyone is on par or upto date on any tactics when entering battleground and using some tricks of their class.
It is appreciated no matter what the nay sayers, say.

I can't armory you because of the horrible quality.

Sorry, I only posted it on the video, I'll copy/paste the entire info from youtube, where I noted that when it was on my computer, the quality was much better.

And Thanks Remus!

Normally on rbg the tank has at 2-3 healers supporting him. All have cc and/or aoe effects. So the shown examples work by far not as nicely, even on low rating(1,4 -1,8 ).

possible things to do that were not shown:
initially use distract right behind your target to stop them
precloak palastun/priest fear when you use cheap shot and vanish before cloak runs out

2supporters: once sap dr on tank is to high, sap one cc caster, garrote second cc caster to prevent cc, shadowstep redirect 5cp stun on tank(focus macro this)
if you wanna be daring: extend by dance garrote, resap (sap in dance works) and finally blind before you vanish

watch that if one trinkets your cc to vanish instantly as no stealth +free opponent =cc inc/dot inc
get the addon GladiatorlosSA to hear when someone trinkets

wouldn't waste smokebomb for it as you will need it to kill him once the rest catches up to you

Good points, but I generally don't have too much problem with the healers in RBGs, but still this is only around 1700, 1800 last season.

Thanks for the contribution .

I would just like to add a few tips/corrections to your guide.

1). On the cap against mage (first ninja cap), against any competent mage, he will put his elemental on flag and he himself sit away from it, it is better to just kill the mage. If he sits beside the flag, it is still better to kill the mage (sap > trinket > blind > block).
2). Slowing down the FC. You missed your gouge because it shares DR with sap. The proper rotation should be; Sap > Sap > Sap > Cheapshot > Kidney > Blind > Vanish > Sap > Sap > Sap > Cheapshot > Kidney etc. Usually an FC will be accompanied by a hpala, if so, then when sap is on full DR, have pally on focus, focus sap him and cheapshot > kidney warrior.

My group has been running for 2 seasons or so now, 2.6k and currently sitting at 2.3k this season. I usually slow down FC ONLY if it's not a warrior (kind of uncommon), if it's a warrior, I just intercept and wipe their team and then peel out and try to get a kill on the FC.

If you are interested, we're running RBGs tomorrow and I could stream for you. (gladiator btw)

Sadly I just checked the forums Thanks for the response, and I'll definitely be applying that . I'd love to see you stream some time, do you guys have any more scheduled?

We usually run Sunday/Monday, Wednesday/Thursday. This week (because of Christmas) it'll be slow, but I could stream for you this upcoming Sunday/Monday if you wish. Just send me a PM.
