So I decided to level a real rogue, partially for maybe someday doing Insane in the Membrane, but also just 'cause. And I finally managed to force myself to level a rogue to the point where, you know, you pick a spec.
OMG. Level 10 is amaaazing! You learn to use poisons and you learn sap and you get to spec Combat which of course is my rogue spec of choice because omg YOU ACTUALLY GENERATE ENERGY FAST ENOUGH TO DO STUFF. Subtlety and Assassination are all about set up and being an ~assassin~ and Combat is like, LETS HAVE A BARROOM BRAWL YEEEEAH BOYYYYY. Anyway, I went from ending fights at <40% health every time to ending fights at like >75% health most of the time. MAGIC.
OMG look at her little faaace. (Ignore that I have two daggers equipped. People are all "Oh, level as combat because you won't have to scrounge around for daggers all the time" without telling you that ALL THE QUEST REWARDS ARE DAGGERS. FFFF. I should have the heirloom mace in a few days and then all will be well!)
