I have temporarily switched my focus to Desconocida from Lÿnn. She is now up to level 20 putting her as my highest alt on Stormrage server. She still has a bit to go to catch up to my rogue on Anub'arak who is level 36. At level 20, I can get poisons. I didn't remember that there is a quest to acquire the skill so I was bummed when the trainer wouldn't give it to me. It originates in Orgrimar so next time I log, I will be headed there.
This brings up one of the few detractions to rogue, there's more things to level. It's not horrible; rogue only has two additional class skills but it does mean a little extra time 'crafting'. The first is truly easy. Poisons consists of making and applying poisons. The mats are all store bought as far as I can tell so it presents just a small time sink. The other skill is lockpicking. Strewn throughout the game are areas intended to level lockpicking. These areas are wrought with boxes with short respawns that hold small amounts of coin and allow rogues to skill up. It's typically a sore point in an instance when an accompanying rogue can't open a locked chest, so I want to make sure I do this.
The plus side of rogue is very cool so the extra class skill levels is overshadowed. Level 18 presented one of my first fav's, Ambush. When cheap shot comes in, it will probably replace ambush, but for the time being it's an awesome opener. A few times last night, while fighting mobs 2 levels lower than myself, an ambush crit took the first 60-80% of the mobs' HP. What a riot to start a fight and they're hurting so badly. Dual wield is next on my list. Yeah yeah. hunter has dual wield but I never really use my weapons and typically a two-handed weapon provides better stats than two one-handed weapons. This aspect makes me consider more things when gearing my character than I have to with hunter. Lockpicking will be cool in the end, when I can finally open the boxes I find by myself. And then there's Stealth. Nothing is more fun than walking past waves of mobs to get to the one guy I need to kill for a quest and then walking past them on the way out. Stealth FTW!! Stealth = Win!! <3 Stealth!!
Rogue has been fun and has refreshed WoW a bit for me, but I will be taking a quasi-break for a while for the birth of our daughter (tomorrow is the big day!!). I won't be completely out of action, but I'm certain I will play Desconocida exclusively as I can pop in and pop out more easily than on a higher level character.
