Ok this post is about new Arms warrior, who want to kill those sneaky rogues in BG's or Arena. This is not an advance tutorial, so its for new comers. The tutorial will let you know about common tricks and strategies against assassination, combat or subtlety rogues. This is based on wow 3.5.5a.
This tutorial also covers how a good rogue can shred any warrior to death. So lets start. :)
Q: How to beat Rogues?
A: This question is pretty much wrong, You can't defeat rogues just like that. The key lies in outsmarting Rogue.
Rogues are pretty damn good when it comes to killing people. With so many crowd control options available to them. Its really Difficult to just overpower (pun intended) them.
Q: So What are an Arms warrior Chance against Rogues?
A: So here is the Good news, Arms warrior have many abilities that will make him a killing machine for Rogues. Many Arms warrior love killing rogues. The Most important thing about Arms warrior is their burst damage. Such damage can't be absorbed by a rogue.
Q: Can a Good rogue kill any Arms Warrior?
A: Of course, a rogue who is skilled enough won't even let you touch him (pretty scary right?)
Choice of Talents:
there are some talents that really really help kill rogues. Like :
Basics:
So how do rogues really work. Most of the rogues are highly dependent upon their stealth. A good rogue will always try to stay in stealth as much as possible, such rogues will try to avoid direct encounter with melee classes.
what to do when :-
Rogue Saps you : You do nothing, sapping won't make you die, instead wait a second , use berserker rage (this will make you come out of sap), immediately use bloodrage (to give you some rage) and use demoralizing shout. If rogue is anywhere near you, it will come out of stealth.
Rogue cheap shots you and starts banging you : Don't Worry as soon as you get cheapshot, second wind will proc and you will start regenerating your health (10% of your health + some rage). Most rogues won't be able to take you down such ways (if you stay in defensive stance you will take even less damage from rogues attack). DON'T USE TRINKET. save the trinket when rogue kidney-shots you.
Rogue blinds you after kidney shots : Most good rogues won't let you touch them, before you can think and trinket out of the Kidney shot, they will blind you and will restealth, but don't worry you still have berserker regeneration to get most of your health back.
Ok I got rogue out of stealth, Now What? : This is the fun part, when a rogue gets out of stealth, he will start doing some crazy stuff. Unlike really good rogues, most inexperienced rogue will start a head to head fight, and this is where you will crush a rogue.
REND the rogue, that's it. and get ready to OVERPOWER rogue. Rogues usually have a high amount of dodge, so when you hit and he dodges. The overpower will proc. OVERPOWER with talent can crit like nuts. Also as REND ticks it will also proc overpower. Ensure that the rogue has REND thats it. Don't worry about MORTAL STRIKE, it costs ways high (unless you have good amount of rage). A Rogue with REND on him is almost dead. BLADESTORM when he is like 50%. Keep him away from getting into stealth.
What can go wrong : Well that sounded like real easy, but with good rogues what can go wrong.
a good rogue will :

a good rogue will :
- try to stay in stealth as much as he can.
- If opened, will gouge you and run back to stealth.
- Dismantle you (disarm) and go back to stealth.
- Blind you and go back to stealth.
- Criple you with poison and stay at a safe range that you cant attack, neither you can charge.
- Bleed you to death , rather then stunning you.
I am a really new warrior, suggest me some build for a pvp ARMS spec. wow 3.5.5a
