I need your help once more!

Alright so a while back (like a month ago) I made a Nelf Combat Rogue who is a level 29 right now. I've always loved Rogues in other MMO's but for some reason I can't play them right on WoW and I think that's more because WoW seems like more of a 'gear dependent' game than any other MMO I've played instead of directly adjusting your stats. Well I

I don't play a rogue, but a quick glance at your gear shows you wearing pants and a belt with intellect. Intellect is of no value to rogues. You want agi gear. Your cloak has strenght on it, which is not optimal either.

I can be of no help with your spec but I did notice that you are missing glyphs. No idea what glyphs you should use, but something to look into. Other than that the only help I can give is to remember to keep your poisons on. My husband is leveling a rogue with my priest and he really notices the difference when his poisons wear off.

But honestly if you are running a low level dungeon with people decked out in all heirloom gear, you are going to have problems keeping up dps wise. Heirloom gear is pretty OP at lower levels. Hopefully the lady rogues here can give you more specific advice.

Alright thanks!! Although I will say something extremely noobish here but I have no clue how glyphs worked. -___-

Glyphs are like recipies that you can learn. They are broken down into three categories ... Prime, Major and Minor. At your level you can use one of each kind. Unless you know someone that is an inscriptionist you will have to buy them off the AH. Once you learn a glyph you can access them by clicking on the glyph tab under your talent tree. All the glyphs for your class will be listed on the right side, the ones you have learned will be lit up. Select a glyph you know from the list and then click on the corresponding spot (prime, major or minor) on the left side of the tab. That makes your glyph active on your character.

Thank you! I'll really have to look more into those on all my characters. Oops lol!

Yeah, glyphs are helpful in that they
a) reduce penalty to your character, like haste for example on combat rogues with blade flurry glyph like Cr0wgrrl mentioned above,
b) add combo/damage/increases length like a combat rogue's Adrenaline Rush lasting longer.
c) grants you something extra like the ability to fall further without damage as a rogue or a mage's soft fall not needing reagents.
