• PvE: Weapon Damage › Hit and Expertise › Agility › Crit › Strength › Stamina (guides disagree, beta)
• PvP: To verify in game

To verify in game No Combat-specific PvP source. Rogue is B tier in Mobalytics' level 30 dueling list.

• Skinning + Leatherworking; First Aid as a secondary.

• 2026-10-26 — Final racial pass before launch: Human Ruthless drops to 1% crit, Dwarf Earth Fury is replaced by Artisan's Precision (1% hit with spells and attacks), Orc Savage is removed, Tauren Endurance is back to 5% Health only.
• 2026-10-15 — October 15 patch: racial weapon specializations are gone too. Human Ruthless (2% crit), Dwarf Earth Fury (2% crit damage and healing), Orc Savage (1% crit), Tauren Endurance (2% crit damage and healing, no more 1% hit). Pick your race for other reasons, not your weapon.
• 2026-10-07 — Class Deep Dive: Hack and Slash replaces the weapon specializations (axes get the extra-attack chance); Flawless Execution makes Eviscerate cheaper; Deflection doubled.
