R/War can mean R/Warrior, R/Warlock, or R/Warden. I'll assume you mean Warrior.

Never really saw a R/Warrior being played by anyone. Maybe someone out there has tried it and can comment, but usually that's a good sign that the combo is unimpressive.

R/K on the other hand is very common and pretty good in PvP. It's the normal hide & stab stab rogue, but with significant HP & defense boost as well. I think some of their elites are especially good in PvP as well.

Rogue/Warrior can be one of the top rogues in PVE if played well, but in PVP it's definitly lacking, because there are no elites that really help with PVP and rage can be hard to manage there.

You may find you like r/warden. The class being viable is still new, and you can acieve nice deff with greate sub. dps from your mana bar for both single target and aoe. Their elites, pretty much not used anymore for pvp unless you use the oak summoning which is really funny to watch player freakout over and call you a hacker.

R/k, great for pvp and solo pve. Unless tanking, they do not seem to do well as dps. Mostly because of disarmet having a long cool down do to elites. So your stuck spamming holy strike which, good luck to your tank holding agro. Can a r/k tank? Sure, but they seem to only work in short bursts(evasion) and the rest of the time they spend getting hammerd. I have not tried tanking end game with one, or for that matter at all. I have seen several in boss burns though that seemed to really handle it well. Also, r/k gets the ability (at 60/60 elite i think) to use sheild of atonishment without weilding a sheild. That means at lvl 60 you can stop a meele fighter from attacking for about 6 secs with both white hits and specialty attacks.

I personaly never made it far as rogue because I never like useing hide and backstabbing. With r/wd, you dont actualy have to, you can go head to head as if like a warrior but i dont recomend it. Have fun and gl/welcome back.

i personally like r/w better, but i will say if you are going for the better pvp class, then r/k all the way...the more fun combo is r/w...

r/k gets EA... 'Nuff said

r/w is fun, but rage is a SoB to manage in pvp, with no white hits or taking alot of small hits, there is virtually no way to manage rage, besides skills/pots, and thats not nearly enough to keep your rage high enough to do be using slash/whirlwind/other elites all the time. however, r/w gets a throw mastery, which adds a wicked slow debuff on throw, which is nice when trying to catch kiting scouts and such(if your not already dead). r/w also gets whirlwind mastery, which lowers rage cost and CD time, but whirlwind is not used much in pvp except on guards and trips, which you could simply just get the same job done with a LB or slash. haven't toyed with poison much in pvp(the r/w elites), so maybe some1 can talk more about that
my r/p can outdps r/m. your name is stupid.

mages should stack dex. word.

r/k is insane, hits hard and hard to kill. r/wd (as warden) can be very good. basically u can give 2 hits in 1 second. Blind spot+CC or Lb+CC is nice way to kill anything that has no immunities on.
