Rogue Human/Gnome/Night Elf/Dwarf

Hey Folks,

What are your opinions for the rogue race on the alliance side?

Human
+ Sword + maze skill
+ Stealth Detection

Gnome
+ Escape Artist
+ Small size (pvp)

Night Elf
+ Dodge
+ Shadowmeld

[b]Dwarf/b]
+ Stoneform

From a personal perspective I'd say that the Gnome has an advantage with Escape Artist in PvP. Mages are not easy to fight against, so getting out a frost nova is great. But that's also me liking the Gnome class in general.

What's your favourite race for the rogue and why?

Human for the sword skill! Second choice is gnome, for the pink hair.

humans also have mace specialization. It won't be that prevalent in the early stages, but late endgame vanilla there is some nice maces.

Stoneform has an advantage vs warriors and rogues (safe vanish + stealth)

Already forgot about that. I've edited my post.

Basically for PvE Human is the master race; Gnome/Dwarf for PvP

PvE; If swords, human, if dagger/sealfate for AQ+ go night elf.
PvP; Either gnome or dwarf, personally I'd say dwarf.

Well the dodge / Shadowmeld for NE is quite useless in PvE, actually even if you wanna play Daggers, Human remains quite nice anyway for PvE, thanks to the +10% rep.

Cute little pink haired female gnome rogues gain +10 to awesomeness didn't you know?

but humans are the best for PVE and great anti rogue with perception.

Ever heard of attributional agility? :). Shadowmeld is of no use in pve, however the dodge is decent for chain cleaves, same reason the ideal pve specc doesnt have imp gouge but dodge.
