Rogue PVP Tips

Here are some tips to duel, or 1v1 pvp better:

1. Waiting for the right moment - If you have the 2 points in Imp. Sap this tip will work even better than without, say you are dueling a priest or mage, they have their shield up. Chain sap them till the shield wears off, then continue with the battle. Yes, it might be a boring 45 seconds or whatever but, if you can do 2 sinister strikes while the shield is down as a sword combat rogue I can get a extra 1000 damage from back to back sinister strikes. If you don't have 2 points in Imp. Sap then, wait for the shield to go down then try to cheap shot asap.

2. Using terrain - This has saved me so many times. When dueling a prot. specc warriorm or, any warrior when I open with my cheapshot, sinister strike, sinister strike, and then rupture I make my way to a small building or something that you can jump over, such as the giant spikes infront of org, and then kite the warrior till im out of combat, then restealth. If you are vs. a warrior watch his stances. If he is in zerker, you might want to stay between 5yds (Min attack range) and 8yds (Min charge range). This will take some practice but, it can work very well. Yes, it does make a very lame pitiful fight but, it gets the job done well!

3. Kick! - This is awsome to begin with but, if you are specced into Imp. Kick it is about 5 times better. If you are dueling a shadow priest, and you kick it with Imp. Kick it can't cast for 2 seconds leaving you the window to do whatever you want. If you are dueling against a good priest they will unshift and heal but, not all of them do that. If you are lucky one will and you can get a 5 point KS off and own if without the shadow damage reduction for 6 seconds! Don't waste kick thought. If a warlock is casting a dot, save it for a shadowbolt or something that can really do some damage.
