Subtlety Levelling Explained (WoW Classic)

It's the best spec, if you say otherwise then you're clearly delusional. Just admit you've been playing the game wrong, it's okay.

Great post mate.
I was a daggers build NE rogue when originally playing Wow the first time around (BC had just dropped). I was advised many times to roll combat Swords, but I always told them to do one: "rogues roll daggers! You can poke your bloody swords".
After many years of abstinence from wow, my pals talked me into rolling on wow classic so I read up again and all guides. All of the ones I read advised combat Swords for the fast and increased damage. So I relented and went combat swords. In my experience it has been dull as dishwater and IMO I just looked wrong (I looked like a flippin pirate, rather than an assassin that lurks in the shadows).
I respeced to daggers last night and it felt like putting on an old pair of shoes.
Swords might be /possibly faster or easier to level, but it's nowhere near as fun...and that's what this is all about isn't it? I think people can get wrapped up in the numbers, rather than remembering what it's all about - fun. Game time should never be a chore

Using this spec for my Hardcore WoW Rogue. Currently level 30 love this spec so much.

I remember back in vanilla rolling a pally first.. playing till 34 and then rerolling to rogue and leveling to 34 in a quarter of the time.. the crite are no joke.

besides leveling shockadin form 60-70 in tbc classic, sub dagger leveling a rogue from 1-60 was my 2nd favourite leveling experience

[robp]

As a sub rogue I would recommend a slow main hand dagger for a bigger ambush and enchant with + weapon damage and use blacksmithing sharpening stones on the main hand and you can one shot mobs 2 levels below you at level 36-40 with the right gear and string remorselessness together. For fun on bigger mobs hit them with ambush drop the dots with rupture hit vanish ambush hit cool down then vanish ambush and they will die....

World of YOU! I was searching for that video for a long time, but forgot the name!

[CodyliciousLol]

Daggers have always been the shit and I love how firmly you stand by that lol

[VincentSilverhand]

Would love to see, a talent tree progression guide!

[zoulabal]

cool cool cool
i would love to see more.
especially pvp analysis and rotation stuff

[Areez]

Are you planning to make some guides for leveling/understanding the game for newcomer rogue wow players? I did as you asked for, and im a NE rogue, but i need guidance from my master :(

[DifferentNow]

this was so much fun, time to lvl/pvp with my rogue again :D

[viewer]

Hey King, im playing classic era -- do your thoughts on this build still apply or have you found any changes to it that you prefer these days?

[siggy]

i leveld all my rogues to 60 with imp ambush for a reason

[davidpicarazzi]

Where do you use Ghostly Strike for your rotation regarding this build?

[Cestlavieyo]

Can you tell us in what order spend the talentpoints? Iam level 41 rn and would love to respec on sub :D

[DonnieDGaming]

Is this the same spec you use in end game pvp or do you change it at all?

[akuseru]

Never played swords. It just doesn't make sense as a rogue. To be honest, why is mace even a thing? Rogue should've been Daggers > Fists > AXES > Swords.

[hyundaivirtue]

some people say you shouldnt use hemorrhage in a dagger build as daggers lack the dps for hemo, hemorrhage is mainly used for a stunlock build, whats your take on this? im level 30 about to get the point to put into hemorrhage.

[Biss]

You use a dagger and off hand sword for this spec or double daggers ?

[TheJPRO]

Sub never hangs in instance or raid compared to combat....now as far as survivability yes it does offer that but it’s not the best spec for leveling as far as speed goes. Sub can hang for a little bit in dps and is far better for pvp but it lags in dmg overall for pve.
