Question everything....

Let me be the first to thank my fellow guildie, Horkus. The man knows his shit about the rogue class. Now granted I scour the web for all information about the rogue class and I by far know I don't know it all about the class. Yes I played a Night Elf Rogue to 70 in BC, but I leveled Assassination and didn't switch to combat till far to late in the game.

Well Hork, tweaked my rotation and helped keep my morale up when I just wasn't feeling all that great about my class. My advice is to find someone that plays your class well. Someone that you can question and will give you good advice. Right now I'm one of a very few Rogues in our guild that plays regularly and I want to advance into actually raiding with everyone else. Now I realize that these Heroic Dungeons (or Normal for that manner) are important to getting your timing down, for upgrading gear and for learning.

So pug them, run them with a guildie. It doesn't matter. If you wipe, try and learn something from it and chalk it up to experience and for goodness sake, Find a mentor you can bounce things off of.

Heroic PUGS

Last night I decided it was time to start seeing some of these heroic dungeons and waiting around for guildies to run some heroics have run it's course. I put myself in the que. Granted I have PUGed Reg TOC a few times. I've been able to pick up a set of gloves, a belt and some pants and Norrac has hooked me up with a set of shoulders, so I have epics in those areas.

Well last night I'm putzing around looking for some more frost lotus and working on my Knights of the Ebon Hold rep when I finally get a wispher, want to run heroic Nexus. Now I have run heroic Nexus with guildies once so I sort of know the run so I accept. I died a few times (I really need to get some enchants and some gems in my gear) and nothing drops, but hey I'm wearing my Knights of the Ebon Hold tabard and getting my rep up so I'm happy. Then they are want to run heroic Halls of Stone. I had never been to HOS so I let them know, they are like it's cool we'll explain bosses etc. I go with them, knowing I probably shouldn't as I'm pulling shit for DPS, but the experiance of going along with the increasing my rep with KEB is high on my list (Want to get to exlated so I can grab the sword).

I got one thing that dropped that I need rolled on is the Fleshshaper. I rolled on it because the other rogue need rolled on it for his off spec, so I figured if no one needed it for their main spec that I'd use it for my soon to pvp spec and I won the thing. I got no other gear that I could use at all in two runs, but I was happy to have the dagger as now I can go and buy librarians paper cutter and get my PVP spec going so I can do some BGs.

All in all it was a fun night filled with to many deaths and not enough DPS, but I talked to a fellow guild rogue who has taken to be my mentor and I figured a few things out, so we'll see if I can't get my DPS up a bit.
