Man, one thing that's hard when you pick a Rogue is deciding which talent paths to take...

They are all so good...

If you max out subtlety, you're almost guaranteed an instant 5 combo points within the first few seconds of battle. Premeditation (2 cbo points) + cheap shot (2 points) and a 75% chance to add another point from cheap shot. THEN you have Setup, which gives you 40% chance to add a combo point when you dodge an attack... which is quite a lot on a rogue. So the the subtlety tree kicks major ass.

Then you have the combo/assassination trees which are just as good. If you max out combo/assassin. then you're almost a godlike melee char, especially w/ Adrenaline Rush, Blade Flurry, and Slice & Dice tossed on all at once.

THEN, if you pick a combat tree, do you take 5 points in dual weild (increases damage done by offhand weapon by 50%), 5 points in dagger (5%+ crit hit rate), or 5 in mace (6% chance to stun for 3 sec).

So many choices, so little points. I know I'm gonna end up spending massive amounts of gold reissuing talent points just so I can try out all of the different flavors..

In any case, rogues are badass... not only all that, but the poisons they have. Toss on a stoneshield pot and you own in PVP. Fighting a healer? Use wound poison on one dagger and instant poison on the other. Carry thistle tea , regenerate your energy in one go! Healing pots, agility + gear along with agi + pots AND agi+ food will boost your dodge/crit to godlike levels.

I'm racking up HK points like you wouldn't believe.
