So hello guys, i've decided i want to try lvl a Rogue.
I used to play a gnome rogue, but all my friends played horde on another server so i rerolled there.
Now after playing both a druid and a hunter to 70, i really miss the rogue class. It's so fun to play, and the undead ones look really cool...
Now i dont want to be a wannabe, but they are just soo damn good looking. So, i need some help on how to level it, when i lvled my gnome rogue i used ages, but it was like my first char so ...
What spec to use at what level etc, and i got enough money on my mains to support som enchants / gear etc, but what?
thanks in advance
EDIT: also what addons do i need? =) i know energy watch is a nice rogue addon, but any more? edit2: i need something that shows the duration of my stuns, sap, gouge etc, and not only when i have that target targeted, but also when i attack another target :P edit3: what poisons should i use while lvling? does it depend on what type of mobs im fighting?

I did, but i still dont know what addons i need.
I still dont know if its worth buying enchants / specific gear.
The sticky was unclear about if i should use cheap shot and then slice and dice at once, or get some sinisters off first...

For solo levelling Cheapshot -> SnD -> SS until you feel like eviscerating. Usually the mob dies before you get to Eviscerate though.
Rogue specific mods I use:
Poison Pouch - adds a minimap button that will envenom your weapons with a click.
Stunwatch - shows a countown of the time left on your stuns (mostly useful for PvP)
Roguespam - removes a lot of the annoying messages that come from spamming buttons like 'You have no energy for that' or whatever it says.
I wouldn't buy gear as you level - weapons are by far and away the most important item of gear for a rogue and there are plenty of great swords available from drops/quests as you level.
Enchants aren't really worth it either unless you can get them very cheap - rogue levelling speed is very fast, and the change to levelling speed since 2.3 makes your gear last for a much shorter time than previously.
One last thing...don't go belf for the love of all that is holy. Anything looks better and is better than them. The newly worked Arcane Torrent is fairly lacklustre for a rogue considering all your interrupts. The 15 added energy on top makes little difference.

For levelling just use instant poison on both hands - it is the best DPS and it leaves your blind and gouge open to use if you get in trouble.
Glad you are making an undead!

^ I'd go for nethercobra personally, kill $%^& faster.
The leggings from gnomer, get them as soon as possible and slap a nethercobra on them, they'll last you to lvl 60 if you do that.

Nethercobra can only be applied by a lvl 60 and triprunners are BoP so not possible. It was that way until recently unless it has been changed?
