WotLK Classic Combat Rogue Pre-Raid Gear

The overall goal of Combat Rogues in Wrath Classic when gearing is to ensure that they meet two caps: the Poison Hit cap and the Expertise cap.

You can read more about these on our stats page linked below, as well as the relative worth beyond reaching the caps.

Below you can find the items to buy with your emblems in Phase 1.

Note that, other than the Mirror of Truth and Mantle of the Lost Vanquisher, none of these items are part of your Phase 1 "ideal" BiS, so you should prioritize buying the other items based on what you need to replace.

1. Mirror of Truth
2. Jorach's Crocolisk Skin Belt
3. Pendant of the Outcast Hero
4. Heroes' Bonescythe Gauntlets
5. Heroes' Bonescythe Breastplate

Note that there are pieces of gear from TBC that can still be good choices at Level 80, but they are never your BiS. We have opted to not include them in the list, due to the difficulty in obtaining them if you do not already have them.
