I'm curious about the night elves ability to stealth. Can you backstab from this? Granted, it would only work in a party setting where you have someone else holding hate, but it would give you another stealth.
Anyone have a NE care to comment?
you can backstab while visible.. if you meant ambush.. im really not sure ive never tried since when you move you break shadowmeld..

Hehe, sorry, yes I should change that so I don't confuse more people :D I play my druid kitty too much, so I don't quite think in Rogue terminology as much as I should, lol.
Yeah, I was just curious if you could stand stationary, right behind a mob when it is well positioned by the tank. Just curious.

It's not that Dwarf racials are bad, per se, it's that compared to Humans and Gnomes, Dwarves have pretty poor racials for the rogue class,
Treasure finding is a pretty worthless ablility IMO- especially if you're an herbalist or miner.
Stoneform is a pretty clutch ability for a warrior, for a rogue, compared to perception or escape artist, it's weak.
Heh, yeah, I see what you're saying. I think if you're focused on doing max damage or are seriously pvping, it might not be the best choice. Just depends on what you want to focus on.
I PvE more often, and I'd actually disagree that if you herb or mine that it's not useful. I find that when I'm in an area like a town or enemy camps, I simply switch it over to see if anything is there, then switch right back. I can't tell you how much free food and drink I've scored in town because of this. In enemy camps where chests could be it is useful to do a scan with it too before switching back to mining or herb. If you have both mining and herb, then I'd totally agree with you... too much to manage.

Gnomes are the best rogues! No one can deny that. Just think of it, they are hard to see and can run away from any situation (escape artist). The escape artist is also nice in PvP. When some mage gets you frozen and starts casting a slow but deathly spell, you EA, sprint, kick, /laugh and beat the hell out of him/her (damn if blink isn't on CD).
And of course, Taurens can't see you if you're attacking in front of them >:-).
Just kidding, I have a gnome rogue and I personally love it.
Hehe, I've wondered something about the size of Gnomes... have you found any little holes that you can fit in that other things can't? :D
On a level 11 rogue gnome I have I was messing around with weaseling into a tower... I jumped through the slot window at the top... can't do that with a NE character. Doesn't seem like there are too many areas where size is helpful, other than being a bit more difficult for a player to see.

At the end of the day, none of the racial abilities are going to be the make or break on whether or not you win a fight. If you are a good rogue, you can beat UD with "nubby little feet", and you can zomg pwn "linebackers that have sticks up their asses" and their 1% dodge rate with WotF that you probably won't need anyways. As Remx said:
Don't pick a race on its racials alone, consider its physical appearance and how that suits your tastes. After all, you're going to be staring at its ass for hours on end.
Just pick what you like, don't worry about what faction it is, the racials are inconsequential if you know what you're doing anyways.
