How to solo twink a rogue?

[sammoHung]

I soloed my rogue 1-60. I had a Fungi tunic, and also had enough to buy a Ragebringer MQ at level 46 - but I was able to do it fairly easily. (Not easy compared to monk, mage, dru though)

a) Master the side-stab or step-through stab.
I used the side-stab, because I could never get the step-through stab working. After the mob swings, there's a tiny delay where they don't move - use that tiny delay to strafe to the side of mob and backstab, OR step-through the mob and backstab.

b) Spine Break poison is OP
Spine break is a low skill poison that can be used all the way while levelling (once you get make poison skill) Spine break is 50% slow and a root. They are expensive to make, but worth it, imo.

c) Stick to outdoor zones and use intimidation
Intimidate is actually pretty reliable. If you side-strafe while chasing a feared mob, you are more likely to hit than if you followed directly behind.

For gear - Get a high damage mainhand and a fast offhand. Gear is a spectrum, and rogues are either the worst, or second worst solo class, depending on who you ask. I think the ability to hide/sneak and the backstab gives a slight advantage over warrior - but either way it will be a slog.
