TBC Classic Subtlety Rogue Aldor or Scryer

We recommend going Aldor as a Subtlety Rogue in TBC Classic. The Aldor shoulder enchant,
Greater Inscription of Vengeance
, is slightly better than the Scryer
Greater Inscription of the Blade
. Aldor also provides an excellent early game weapon, the
Vindicator's Brand
.
