Rogue Best in Slot (BiS) Gearing Guide – Classic

Stats in Classic are scarce. Our goal as a Rogue will be to maximize DPS:

1) Best in Slot Weapons
2) 41% Haste
3) Strength/Dexterity as high as possible. You may favor one stat over the other, but for this guide our goal will be to get the highest amount of stats possible, whether it’s Strength or Dexterity. Also notice that the proc from your primary weapon, Thornstinger, grants additional strength.
4) **You may also want to pick up resist gear to swap for raiding. A common way to get this is Jewelcrafting Gear (Ears, Neck, Rings, Face), Crown of the Froglok Kings (FR/CR – Helm), Crown of King Tranix (MR – Helm).**

Below are stats you can expect with the gear below. Your results will vary a bit depending on which items you choose, your race, and starting stats.

If I missed a better item in any slot, feel free to let me know in Discord.
