Talent Build & Glyphs

Talents and Glyphs give you the flexibility to tweak your Subtlety Rogue for a variety of encounters. If this built wont be right for you... you might need to change your build to increase your effectiveness.

Talent Build

Level 15: For this level you will select Subterfuge (This will make it possible to get off 1x Garrote and 2x Ambush, and will make the target die allot faster.)

Level 30: For this level you will select Combat Readiness (This will help you survive big damage NOTE THAT IF THE ENEMY DONT ATTACK YOU FOR 10 SEC THIS EFFECT WILL STOP).

Level 45: For this level you will select Elusiveness (This will make your Feint ablility also recuse all damage taken by 30% for 5 sec, and is werry usefull if you at low health and wanna survive).

Level 60: For this level you will select either Shadowstep or Cloak and Dagger They are both really good... (So if you wanna make a focus kick macro i will recomend Shadowstep and if your more like a quick vanish and ambush right after you just came out of stealth i will recomend Cloak and Dagger ) I use Shadowstep for my focus kick macros.

Level 75: For this level you will select Prey on the Weak (This is really good for making big bursts and allot better damage when you sap, Kidney Shot, Cheap Shot, Gouge or Blind the enemy, becouse you will do a extra 10% Damage on your target).

Level 90: For this level you will select Shuriken Toss (as it is really OP ATM and will doubble its damage if you are 10 yards away from your target, and then it will replace it with your auto attacks and will get a longer range = (30 yards) + every shot is coveret in your Lethal Poison and will award 1 combo point.)

Major Glyphs

Major Glyphs are all highly situational. Your Glyph choices will largely depend on your team and class composition.

Glyph of Blind: Moderate boost to crowd control.
Glyph of Cheap Shot: Moderate boost to crowd control.
Glyph of Garrote: Moderate boost to crowd control.
Glyph of Cloak of Shadows: Moderate boost to survivability.
Glyph of Crippling Poison: Boost to crowd control until Deadly Brew bonus.
Glyph of Debilitation: Boost to crowd control until Deadly Brew bonus.
Glyph of Evasion: Small boost to survivability against physical attacks.
Glyph of Expose Armor: Small boost to damage against high armor targets.
Glyph of Gouge: Small boost to crowd control.
Glyph of Kick: Boost to crowd control if you have excellent timing.
Glyph of Recuperate: Small boost to healing and survivability.
Glyph of Shadow Walk: Small boost to Stealth detection.
Glyph of Smoke Bomb: Small boost to crowd control.
Glyph of Sprint: Small boost to mobility.
Glyph of Stealth: Small reduction in Stealth cooldown.
Glyph of Vanish: Small boost to survivability.

Minor Glyphs

Glyph of Decoy: Potential to confuse your enemies.
Glyph of Distract: Slight boost to utility with extended Distract range.
Glyph of Poisons: Slight boost to utility with quicker poison changes.
Glyph of Blurred Speed: Small boost for surviveing in some BGs (as it will let you run across water).
Glyph of Safe Fall: Small boost for surviveing long distance falls (mostly used in BGs).

I would recommend using these Glyphs:

For Major Glyphs i will recommend:

1. Glyph of Garrote (This will make the enemy get silenced for a longer time = usefull on casters + it will make you crit harder).

2. Glyph of Blind (Lets say your playing Arena and your arena partner have a debuff on the target your gonna blind... if you have this Glyph it will remove the debuff from the target so he wont get out of your Blind becouse of the damage the debuff gives him).

3. Glyph of Cheap Shot (This will make your target get cheap shottet longer, and will make it possible to make a bigger burst).

And for Minor Glyphs i will recommend:

1. Glyph of Decoy (This is good for confuseing your enemies when you Vanish, becouse it will make a copie of your self).

2. Glyph of Distract (This will for extend your Distract range, so you can cast it from a longer range).

3. Glyph of Blurred Speed (I use this Glyph for when im doing random BGs and i whant to escape from dieing, so i run across the water while the enemy have to swin).

I'm sorry but this is not a PvP guide, this is a gemming / enchanting guide, besides you don't even cover why people should choose what and which stat is the best to go for! Also you should have thrown in Reforge when this "guide" is about gearing

[MrClue]

Not done with the Guide yet :P
