Rogue Twinking Guide for 2.3

This guide lists the Weapons and Armour that is best for rogues who intend to Twink post 2.3. It lists the best option and alternatives. It currently covers 19 and 29 Twinks, as they are the most popular and the ones I know most about. It is unlikely that further sections will be added, as I know little about them and there are a wide range of different choices/specs that are all equally good. Thanks goes to Vexille, from Zenedar, for his help with 2.3 items. Enchants are listed in order of preference. If you see any mistakes or omissions, please post them and I will correct the erroneous entry. Thanks to Gibblets, Mokuro WindrÃÂșnner, Corbon, Fearmonger, Anderstwo, Thalios and Idiotique for corrections and feedback.

One additional thing is that you may well know Highlander’s quote “this is not a “you must follow this path or die!” guide.” You may consider yourselves warned that failure to follow this guide WILL see you die – a lot.

For those of you who hate Twinks, please rest assured that this guide aids in killing Twinks more than hapless bystanders. For those of you who don't know what a Twink is, see http://www.wowwiki.com/Twink

In addition to this, if you post something deconstructive, I will simply report it as spam, and not grace it with an answer.

Obviously, if you like the guide, please post and say so! If you want to say something else, also post. The 20-29 section is currently new, and contains only 1 item for each slot, so corrections (they WILL be there) and additions in the form of alternatives would be very welcome.
