G: Defending as a Rogue

2. Rogue - Subtlety

As a Rogue, you have many weak points such as your survival and lack of ranged abilities, not even to mention lack of an immunity-bubble-like ability.

Although you have many strengths as well, these are Stealth, Evasion, Vanish, Smoke Bomb and CC such as Kidney Shot and Blind.

If you find yourself defending on your Rogue then make sure to position yourself wisely in stealth since the chances that another Rogue from the enemy team will come looking for you is big, - and if you get found you suddenly aren’t feeling the vibe anymore.

If all hell breaks loose and you’re standing there alone against 2-10 enemies and you’re losing your base then don’t go tanking them like a Death Knight or Guardian Druid, use your Rogue skills to prevent them from capping instead. At this point you should have both Vanishes left and Cloak as well as trinket. You should be able to hold off a group of five enemies for at least 30 seconds with that. First up you should pop your evasion and spam Fan of Knives to prevent them from capping, but if you find taking yourself too much damage even with Evasion on then you may want to Vanish and wait a few seconds before returning. However, no more than six seconds after last Fan of Knives! From there you should keep vanishing and running around them like a real Rogue. Good luck!
