Training a Night Elf Rogue

Well against my best judgment I decided to train a Night Elf Rogue. I am not much of a rogue type of player, but will give it a try. He is only level 13, but I have invested a lot of time and money to his enchanting and leather working skill. So if nothing else he can make and enchant stuff for my hunter characters.

I am unsure what spec I am going to make this rogue. I think currently he is a (1/2/0) spec. No particular reasoning for that spec, just seemed the funnest. I think I might make him an Assassin as that sounds cool. The down side to being a rogue, is coming from a hunter, the questing is much harder given that I do not have a pet to tank. You have to choose your mobs more wisely and rely on your stealth a lot. Which is fun, but also not fun. The not fun part is that you avoid a lot of fights, which means less experience. Given that I am trying to grind him up to at least 1-2 levels above what the quest suggests so I can hold my own versus the mods.

Right now I am really concentrating on getting my first aid, enchanting and leather working skills up. I am nearly maxed out for my level so once I am maxed out I will be doing a bit more questing with this rogue. The real intention of this rogue is to play Battlegrounds. As my hunter I saw first handed the DPS they deal and that if they take out my pet from the picture, well I am basically screwed.

I will probably not be reporting much on this character as he is a very low level and I plan on working on my Level 29 hunter much more than this rogue.
