A good rogue has to know where to look fer his information. Without information y’might as well stand oot in the broad daylight, twiddlin’ yer thumbs and hopin’ the job will do itself!

Puttin’ these all in one place so that, maybe, someone won’t have to look as far and wide for the links. There are, of course, plenty I’ve ‘missed’ but these are the ones I use on a regular basis for reference, not every single useful link ever.

Cannae be daein’ wi’ adventurin’ or slayin’ on an empty stomach an without my bag full o’ bit an’ pieces which give me a wee bit o’ an advantage.

So, Onionpeels over at Blog Azeroth suggested jotting down what we take for raids and I thought I’d do a little writeup on what I take as it sounded kind of fun. As a rogue I don’t have any reagents to bring (thankfully) but that doesn’t mean I don’t bring bags full of consumables to a raid!

When I started raiding I had one raid bag. I put everything I needed into it so I wouldn’t forget when the time came to go somewhere. Slowly, as I added more items to my repetoire and started doing a wider variety of bosses my little stash grew and now takes up almost two full bags, not including the extra stamina gear and trinkets I carry with me just in case!

Well, I seen a lot of blether by a bunch of paladins, hunters, and priests all talkin’ aboot how their class was smashin’ so ah figured I’d have to dae my own wee piece.

So. What’s fun about beein’ a rogue?

Everything! Well, nearly. It’s a really fun class to be especially if you like to try finding novel ways to do things by yourself. I remember one of my first ‘great achievements’ - soloing the group quest in Searing Gorge where you have to get some plans from behind 3 elites which were, at the time, a level above me. That was one of my first “heart-in-mouth, can I really do this?, OMG hurry up and finish gathering!” moments with my rogue - where getting a sap, cheap shot and blind off in quick succession was the difference between life and ‘death’, between an easy finish to an otherwise painful quest or a long, miserable corpse run with a tricky res position. I was a nublet at the time and I don’t find that sort of stuff very hard these days but I still look back with pride at that moment when I learned, truly, what it was to be a rogue.
