Rogue PvP in WoW Forever
- October 15, 2026 patch notes.
Rogue gets fixes only in the 15 October notes, and Sap no longer triggers weapon procs.
Undead
Touch of the Grave now procs 20% for Rogues (was 5%), with a cooldown of 25 seconds, and
Will of the Forsaken can't be used under Scatter Shot.
Human Sword Specialization is replaced by Ruthless, +2% critical strike chance on all spells and attacks. Full list: October 15 patch notes. On our tier list
Subtlety holds A for PvP; Assassination and Combat hold B.
This page is flag ganks and arena openers. Raid Combat lives on the PvE mega. Hub: WoW Forever Rogue. Sibling: Rogue PvE.
Blizzard set the climb on 7 October: Honor buys the blue and epic PvP sets, weekly-capped Rank Points move you through the 14 ranks, and Battle for the Darkspear Islands adds a 15v15
battleground for levels 30 to 60. The Forever Open duel tournament on 17 and 18 October, with a 100,000-dollar prize pool on level 30 beta characters, pays 5,555 dollars to the best player of each class, so it is the 1st big look at
Rogue duels.

Rogue PvP at 60 before Rank week 7
Engineering + Enchanting on the Starter Pack, PvP ruleset set before the 1st session.


WoW Forever Power Leveling & Gearing
Subtlety talents at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 (PvP)
Subtlety here is Sap, Cheap Shot, Kidney Shot and Vanish resets. Combat stays on the
raid page. Blizzard named the Subtlety golds on 7 October; spends stay provisional.
Level 10 to 30. Stay
Subtlety. Sap no longer breaks Stealth, so you Sap the healer, stay hidden and open on the next target with Cheap Shot. Dirty Tricks makes Sap and Blind much cheaper. Premeditation is now the 16-point
gold, from level 25, and lasts 20 seconds.
Level 40 to 60. Thousand Cuts is the new 31-point gold, from level 40: each Rupture tick cuts the Energy cost of your next Hemorrhage or Backstab. Cutthroat can let Backstab free an Ambush outside Stealth. Do not dump Combat energy
talents for ranks.
Human Perception finds stealthed enemies.
Gnome Escape Artist breaks roots so
Vanish can fire. Distract now makes enemies worse at spotting Stealth for 10 seconds, but it also tells players a
Rogue is near. Since Blizzard's 8 October build notes, PvP critical strikes no longer carry a damage reduction, so Rogue crits land in full.
Rogue BiS by week (PvP)
Stamina leather plus rank rewards. Rank 10 week 7, Rank 13 week 9.
Blizzard's 7 October PvP post: Honor buys a blue and an epic PvP set, and each epic upgrade needs an Emboldened Seal with a rank requirement. Rank Points come from
battlegrounds and PvP
quests with a weekly cap, Rank 11 brings
mounts and
Rank 14 the epic weapons. Since the 1 October build gear costs about 50% more Honor and the Honor cap is 25,000.
Week 1. Honor greens with agility. Get week-1 gear done.
Weeks 2–3. Dungeon stamina pieces between BG sessions. Get the dungeon set done.
Rank weeks. Push Rank 10 then 13. Get Rank 14 done.
From 9 December. Mix rank rewards with
Barrow Deeps /
Hyjal Summit leather drops.
