Rogue Pre-Raid BiS in WoW Classic: gear before Molten Core
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruBefore your first raid (Molten Core), a Rogue assembles pre-raid BiS — the best items from 5-man dungeons, crafting, reputation and world sources. On the WoW x5 server the grind is shorter thanks to x5 rates, but the list is the same. This guide is by slot and spec.
Stat priority
Hit 9% → AP → Crit → Agility. Daggers want a fast OH; sword builds want swords.

Rogues need 9% hit due to the dual-wield penalty — the Devilsaur Set (+2%) is a must before raiding. Fast OH for a Backstab build, slow MH for swords.

FAQ
Daggers or swords before raiding?
Combat Swords are more consistent and easier to gear; Dagger/Backstab has higher burst but needs positioning and a fast OH.
Where to get Tooth of Eranikus?
Drops in Sunken Temple — the best pre-raid OH dagger.
Do I need the hit cap before MC?
Yes, 9% hit is priority #1: without it you miss often and lose energy returns from Sinister Strike.
