also im seeing a wowhead post that saber slash and deadly poison have been "fixed" for multiple rogues
Correct
You can just kill him, that is how I got my rune.
You really can't just kill him
I literally killed him and he dropped saber slash for me lol
Saber slash rune
agh lol, i was questing in loch modan at the time
if your having that much trouble with the mob go to loch modan
any bis lists for SoD out yet?
anyone test if imp backstab works on mutilate?
do we need to buy the hot tip item to open the envenom safe if we have lockpicking? Also can we pickpocket the work order item in stonetalon mountains and get the explosive for deadly brew before going all the way to the house near SFK?
I spent all sunday trying to get those 2 runes, to find out monday that my guild decided to reroll on the PVE server and now im gonna have to do it all over again
I don't think you can bypass the hot tip. The 2nd one, you can completely skip the stone talon mountains part once you have the quest initially from the chest. You can go straight into SFK
just do the level 22 method for SFK
dont you need the explosvie to open the door?
you can talk to the guy you normally do to open door and just vanish
because you will pull the boss
Nope, I opened the hatch, aggro'd the boss, talked to the npc then vanished
oh dang thats good to know
spec subtetly for an easier stealthing
I tried it at 20/21 and ran back from SS to SFK as a ghost a few times, that sucked. didnt even get the rune before finding out we were rerolling
decided to wait ffor vanish this time, that makes it much easier
It does make it easier by a long shot. As long as you talk to the npc b4 you vanish at the back of his prison you should be good
ok cool. once you go back to the house after SFK can you just wait there for 15 or so mins or do you have to go back to a city and then all the way back to the house?
I ran up to undercity (as alliance) and went in the sewer entrance. It popped up UNDERCITY in red. Saw that I had mail and went back to the house for the rune
Can't clarify if the 15 mins thing works, but going into any city does
gotcha ty for the tips!
No worries.
major city is required, i did it and went to sleep and had no mail the next day until i went to major city
i think 15 min thing might just be made up
is saber slash working with remorseless?
Sorry if this is has been asked a lot, but does anyone have a link or information on the build that rogues are using to parse really well in BFD?
Thanks for the heads up!
does ranking up sinister strike make saber slash do more damage?
I think it scales with your level, not the damage of your sinister strike, but that’s just a guess
correct it is made up, you just visit any main city to get mail
no
also is expose armor worth getting?
for what?
season of discovery
pve or pvp?
Hello
Does +7 nature spell damage and effects apply to poisons and envenom? Surely yes
Like I am staring at the leggigns and boots of the fang
And if the +7 nature damage is worth using them together
Guys, what poisons do you use on your weapons if you don't have a feral druid?
Sharpening stones
on mainhand
Read deadly brew. No poisons necessary
It's pretty wild, for sure.
Slice n dice or rupture for max dps saber deadly brew raid build?
Snd
not much of a difference the 4 finishers at this level
with deadly brew do we lose damage by using the slowing poisons?
on a technicality yes because slowing poisons don't do damage
anyone got any good plater profiles
But still better to put instant poison on. More dmg
Wowhead just updated their rogue guide. Talens been changed to. Now we take full slice and dice again. So s&d up then envenom. Use rupture when there is a mangle on the target to
Hey guys, I was wondering if you could give me any reason to play rogue over feral druid in SoD right now xD I have my rogeu at pre raid BiS, but I just feel like feral brings much much more, and not much less dps. WF and MotW? ... Even in the next phase, rogues get what? more stuns and a bit of cleave?
first of all nobody knows what brings next phase
second you are not wrong feral brings to raid way more utility than rogues bruteforce
its up to you what to play in the end of the day
Quick question, do I need to apply instant poison on my weapons when i have deadly brew?
for sure it is :) I was just wondering if there are any counter argument other than "play what you like" like.. if rogues bring anything druids doesn't
lockpicking later on and thats it
I guess for PvP you have all the stuns and disruption
druid still better flag carry
true
No you don’t. With no poisons applied, DB can proc Instant poison. Instant poison can then proc deadly poison - just go ham with sharpening stones or WF in group
Has anyone tried tanking rogue yet? How is it? :)
you dont have to indeed.. but i see that when you do it seems deadly poison is appplied way faster if you have poisons on youre weapons.
Has anyone run the numbers on multilate vs saber slash for dps?
what would you guys recommend as a profession in SoD? I want to pick Alch and Herb to make decent gold but on the other hand LW seems also quiet decent when it comes to gearing.
especially Void-Touched Leather Gloves
is there any pre bfd item list?
Im just having fun grabbing items here and there but probably Im missing some
Does anyone know if mutilate is properly benefitting from opportunity/improved backstab?
Check out simonize's discord for the best info on prebis and theorycrafting
Why can't I find taskmaster fizzule, I'm at the spot
whos Simonize can you link it please
in pve, is pooling energy still the play for classic?
I can't i vite to his server. But Simonize is basically the one man fight club for rogues. He's the best rogue theory rafter in classic and all his recommendations are based on extensive data review. He is the person who makes the sims.
im trying to get the deadly brew rune, gotta pickpocket 2 epics inside sfk do they 100% spawn? didng find either
Yes they 100% spawn when a rogue enters solo into the instance
thank you so much i found the server actually helped me come to a decision
i was looking for any reason to justify mutilate but its just underperforming i switched to saber
anyone knows if embrace of the viper 2 set works on poisons ?
what spec y'all running for wpvp in sod?
any of you think this is a ok build for both open world pvp and pve ?
It’ll work for now but more of a pve build
For open world if you play on pvp server get imp gouge, either imp sinister strike or 2 points of dodge chance, improved backstab, 2 points of hit and imprpved sprint. Then go sub for 4 points into improve backstab
Play with slaughter from shadows, between the eyes and shadowstrike
not a "rogue" question buttt trying to do The attack and have to "overhear lescovar and marzon". ive gotten both the kills but not that one. anyone knows how?
you get that when you're in the park listening to their conversation
i am standing next to them tho
anyone have a good pre raid bis list for BFD?
Would this build with daggers/muti be better than a saber slash combat pvp build?
saber slash sucks for pvp
it breaks gouge
doesnt deal enough dmg
muti sucks for pvp also.
backstab is the go
anyone find a decent pre bis list? or is everyone just messing around with sixtyupgrades?
all you need is a good sword/mace and agility on gear
So no brew then either? So dagger mh, shadowstrike, between eyes, and reduced backstab energy?
I feel like Saber slash and brew will do a lot more DMG in pvp, unless you are solely 1v1 for gouge.
But maybe I'm wrong, I'll have to try it out
do we want 2 cruel barbs or is it only good for the mainhand
you got 30% crit for backstab from talents + costs only 40 energy from rune. you dont want to put dots on your targets in pvp because gouge is very overpowered and dots break it. shadowstrike for closing gaps, stun because stun is good
Full Combat build with repost and imp sprint/evasion or full backstab/ambush sub build will be better than saber slash poison build
The dots break gouge and it’s less burst in general which is what you want.
The shadow rune for 20 less energy cost on backstab/ambush is huge for one tapping people
You can ambush - backstab - gouge -backstab and they’re dead if you have some gear and are spec’d right
But that type of build is better for objective play like in Wsg to one shot the efc
The full combat build is better if you’re gonna have longer sustained fights or want to open world pvp in ashenvale
Better sprint with reduced cd on sprint and evasion plus reposte. You can also use the main gauche rune for more parry chance to proc reposte.
I suggest shadow strike always for gap closer plus you can vanish-shadow strike- kick if you need to stop an important cast from say a healer on to the efc
Or you can vanish- shadowstrike- gouge
I suggest a castsequence macro for stealth-shadowstrike and vanish-shadowstrike
Depends on what you’re going for. People use Cruel Barb in main hand cause it’s high damage cap per hit which increases the damage of your abilities
Most abilities use your main hand
The rune Main gauche for example though uses the off hand. It strikes with the off hand doing 150% weapon dmg
The thing is though cruel Barb is slower
i get meteor shard offhand, faster poison application, good proc. i level up dagger skills also
So you will get less poison procs with a slower weapon in the off hand
^
My suggestion is Barb in main and Meteor in off hand
kk ty
where do you farm fish oil?
murlocs, nagas
Is there a rogue SoD discord ?
Scroll up, Weasel and spooky just laid it out pretty well
yeah i kinda understood it. thats why i specified my weapon ill be using lol
Grats on dagger, go combat talents (back crit, sprint etc) runes: BTE, shadowstrike and reduced backstab energy. Probably want double crippling.
dagger has good dmg. but any dot is a drawback becaue it breaks gouge in pvp. later on will break blind
so it wont make you lose wsg but sometimes you want to gouge and kite or backstab and the dot ruins the combo
been having a blast with backstab build
do you have a chart for it? or is it the standard one posted online wowhead
what runes yall using with it?
Slaughter, bte, shadowstrike
and 5 opportunity, but i think i'd try to get improved sprint
for open world atleast
think ima spam some warsong or be in ashenvale
Any good places to pickpocket the builders? I'm on the wooden planks but there are like 3
Boys there's no point in ranking up Sinister Strike if I'm using Sabre Slash, right? I know talents benefit Sabre but I don't think ranking Sinister up does anything..
doesn't sinisiter strike technically hit hard than saber slash?
so wouldn't you want to weave in sinister strike once you have 3 stacks of saber?
is best raid dps daggers and deadly brew, mutilate, envenom?
Saber slash pretty op imo
sword, saber brew envenom
no reason to muti in a raid anyways afaik
cruel barb/outlaw sabre better than wingblade ye
is there a different pre raid sword to aim for
even with the 30% crit 20% damage talents
for backstab
cb is fine
I mean I had meteor shard running BFD last lockout
60 dps compared to 110 as sword
mm fair
equip or 60g?
def sell, you want the epic gloves end game
yeah I gonna sell it but Im ench/engi
so cant have gloves
Is Envenom Multiplicative or additive for the 75% increased poison chance
You might as well equip it then
beyond any other options
it depends how much you value the possible gold really
do we have like a bis list for sod?
Is using razer snyapse to spam 1 button when u have that button held down bannable?
are we using a slow offhand...with lesser dmg when playing envenom n deadly brew?
do we not need to apply instant poison at all with deadly brew rune?
for general WSG pvp - best to have crippling on both MH and OH?
Correct. If no poison is on a weapon, Deadly Brew will allow that weapon to trigger Instant Poison (and also Deadly, because it just applied Instant).
that means only crippling on OH (regarding the question above), right?
Not sure whether you mean the question about not needing to apply Instant Poison to a weapon at all, or the question about what to use in PvP.
In PvE, if I'm not in somewhere like Stockades where enemies will run, I'll just leave poisons off, because that gives me Instant and Deadly on both weapons for maximum damage. In Stockades (or somewhere similar), I'll put Crippling on the offhand, sacrificing a bit of damage to make sure the enemies don't pull extra rooms.
As for the PvP question, I don't PvP, so I'm not sure what the "general strategy" is.
Personally, if I was doing PvP, though, and using Deadly Brew, I'd probably put Mind-numbing on one hand, Crippling on the other, to help account for any casters.
Hey, it's my first time playing classic. Is there a general rule on what I should be looking for in gear or possibly a way to sim my classic DPS?
SoD ofc
but if you have instant poison on your weapon its puts deadly pooison faster on the target..
I hadn't noticed a difference in how often I got Instant Poison triggers (and thus Deadly) whether I had it on or not.
It seemed to be about the same, overall. When directly applied, it was about 20% of my swings caused Instant+Deadly. When it wasn't applied, I got about 20% of my swings causing Instant+Deadly.
think it doesn't matter honestly.. just consider the deadly brew effect where it applies instant poison as a passive -- once it procs instant, it procs deadly as well
so poisons are useless now and we should put sharpening stones on our weapon or weapons depends if there is a feral druid. got bfd tonight gonna see hwo may times it priocs with or without poisons
If you just want damage, then yeah, no poisons required, feel free to Sharpen/not-Windfury.
leveling as a dagger rogue on SoD
Can somebdoy explain to me please which of these 3 daggers should I use MH/OH and most importantly WHY?
I'm not as familiar with dagger builds, but if I were applying "sword-build logic", I imagine the War Knife would be mainhand, the Harpy Skinner in the offhand.
War Knife has the (very slightly) higher weapon damage numbers, and the Skinner has higher DPS than the Blade of Cunning.
War knife of power mh, highest dam/attack power combination
Full feelycrafting though
i think it works the same way as swords
slow/strong mainhand and fast offhand
but u have dmage numbers, dps numbers, and weapon speed and when its all so similar, it gets confusing
Agi and str both seem to be worth +1.1 per stat so the 4 attack power is the largest gain of the weapons
Harpy skinner has best overall weapon dps and is faster so probably offhand which would leave war knife of power for mh since it technically has the best damage range for spells
i think so too
anyone know the best rogue talents?
for pve or pvp?
running this with 2 points in combat for sinister strike
(PVE)
the +5% hit seems pretty essential for PVE endgame right now no? the only hit gear are those LW gloves otherwise
also regarding deadly brew/pvp above: i would run quick draw > deadly brew 100% of the time in pvp
didnt seem to matter in my BFD raid, i used the 2% hit stone on the offhand and I have the gloves too
was consistently top dps but i dont log or anything so no idea if its good compared to the min maxxers
using saber slash, deadly brew and envenom
feels good stacking up all the SS bleeds, deadly venom, perma slice and dice and then dropping big envenoms
yeah i was running that same build and then swapped over to precision last week but too much of a gear difference to really do a before/after
and first BFD run isn't until friday
seems like every other source either says precision is a must have or can be ignored to go assassination heavy lol
feels like the more energy and longer SS makes up for the 5% hit but i could be wrong
i didnt blow the meters up with the 5% hit compared to this new build
im not a theorycrafter or anything just going off pure vibes
yeah i think without the LW gloves i'll prob play it safe with precision
out of curiosity when you were running OH stone did you have wild strikes in your raid?
wondering whether the deadly brew effect will still proc with competing weapon effects on both hands
stone OH, had wild strikes
awesome, that's how i was hoping it worked but hadn't been able to confirm yet
so deadly brew is even better then because it effectively allows you to combine poison with other weapon enhancements
i still get windfury even with instant poison
is there a pre-bfd bis list anywhere?
Where do I buy sharpening stones from? I've never played WoW
Some might be from quests, but I think blacksmiths make them.
blacksmith players? so AH?
Yup
Thanks
and just to make sure I got it right
If I have deadly brew, I should just use sharpening stones (unless I have a windfury or feral druid in my pt)
If I don't have deadly brew, I can poison my weps (for pvp)
even if you have deadly brew you probably want crippling/mind numbing for pvp instead of the default instant procs
but quick draw seems infinitely better for pvp
but yeah unless i'm misunderstanding how it works the deadly brew procs should apply even if there's a stone/wild strikes effect on the weapon so the ideal PVE setup would be stone offhand, nothing mainhand (if wild strikes) or stones on both hands if no wild strikes
Anyone tanking much… viable in raid? How mandatory is main gauche can we swap it for saber? And is the tanking talents needed for the dodge parry? (Got rune last night so just wondering)
cant imagine it's too viable until there's some way to generate aoe threat, but haven't tried yet because the key tanking runes are the hardest ones to get F
What’s everyone rotation looking like. I hold top dps but i literally have 0 time for any finishers other than snd
any1 else get bug so u cant rightclick weapon poison icon on buffs to remove poison? if u do, any1 got fix?
Absolutely viable in raid! I did 7/7 BFD as Rogue tank with Saberslash, BD and FW. Dps is really nice for a tank. Went 0/16/0 in combat tree
Thank you! Dps was decent?
Nm I didn’t read
are we using faster off hand to proc deadly brew or focus on best weapon that gives dmg...for off hand..?
Trying to figure that out too so i know if i should use 2x barb or barb and meteor shard
Prison shank a good offhand option as well. Fast, gives stats, with offhand penalty does about the same dmg as shard
if you can score a diamond hammer it's a bit higher dmg with stats and faster than barb
got mine on a drop but going much cheaper than beazel's
@gleaming harbor this is one I could find for pre raid bis https://www.zockify.com/wowclassic/rogue/dps/ dunno if we can post links here tho
Yeah been farming it but he keeps dropping bracers
that one is missing a few things (mantle of thieves most notably) but is a good reference
and thieve's mantle is going to be super expensive
Yeah or just lucky running it lol
honestly just farming RFK trash mobs isn't a bad strategy
for money and gearing up
lot of good boes possible and two close to preraid BIS quests just from trash
6 agi ring from the escort quest and for alliance the corpse next to him gives a quest that gives 5agi/4stam (i think?) boots
6agi/5stam actually
Has anyone tried the brew/mutilate build? How is it compared to backstab or saber slash?
Yo what is the actually drop rate for the WC legs?
I don’t know, i had to solo it 28 times before it dropped 😂
That's creazy, the only I have been doing all these past 3 nights after come from work is farming those legs until I get lock
Yeah it’s the lowest drop rate out of all his stuff
Robe is 50% mail waist is 19% and legs are 17%
got lucky on my third run 
I like mutilate, #1 in my guild with it. But saber slash backstab build is better dps even without deadly brew. Ill be running that tonight
If i can get a dang sword i think the build for saber slash overall is better at 25. More combo points to spend.
hey there, Im curious if theres any discussion here for Season of discovery, or is there a seperate discord for that?
Everyone here basically on sod, this chat was pretty dead before then.
oh perfect
if you have a 25 druid friend we stealthed and soloed for WC legs
Don’t even need that, can do it solo.
Sap him kill snakes, bandage if needed and then go. Save evasion or half health or snake phase
Nice
If Sap breaks fast vanish and wait until you regen back up. Bring some health pots incase he gets lucky and crits a few times
U can do this 3 times a day before u get lock right?
are there any good talent build pages to compare?
5 is the lockout
most builds are pretty much the same rn, either heavy assassination with 2 pts in imp sinister strike, or heavy combat with malice depending whether or not you want precision
this is what i've been running
this seems to be the other popular build
(though this is all for sword/mace)
brothers what are some good offhand option for backstab
other than outlaw sabre/cruel barb
Prison shank
is BiS belt right?
something more horde friendly? x)
yea the AP is making me question
Attack power is your highest rated stat, what are your other options?
go into major city
I mean think about it this way, being the only horse running around with it would be so cool.
Horde
at that point cruel barb is probably a lot easier x)
You have to goto a major city first
anyone know how to enable skiining on left clikc? is this even a thing in classic?
You can walk to UC and walk through the tunnel if you want and you’ll see the mail noti pop up
deftkin belt best for horde, windborne belt best for alliance
both are better than deviate scale for rogues
deviate scale is only 5 agi, windborne has 6 agi and that has 4 + 12 AP
Have you tried the "Interact on Left Click" option?
yeah i can only seem to skin on right clikc'
I have no idea how to change that, then.
Can you goto keybinds and change right click to left?
Not that it’s any of my business or anything like that. But is it that bad just to use right click?
Gotcha
esp atm since i have a finger issue
Yeah that’s the only thing i can think of
thanks
Could try this?
Also maybe this addon has something you can configure to loot with the button of your choice and it just loots and skins in 1 click
anyone have a mouseover Tease macro... im woindering does th macro need to be feint?
whats the talent spec for raid anyone figured it out?
should i run deadly brew envenom mutilate or deadly brew envenom saber slash
Daggers or swords?
depends on what gives more dps, second question here would be "with which weapons would that be
im torn between 2 daggers and mutilate or cruelbarb/ meteor shard and saber
I wouldn’t do saber with daggers. Think both are viable just depends what you have better of.
yeah I got the BFD dagger which makes me lean towards muti but if I can get a main hand from there I'd like to go back to saber agaijn
the weapon damage difference between BFD and anything else is pretty wild
but would u then use 2 swords if u use saber?
Saber is really good, sucks i hate using swords as a rogue.
not a fast dagger ofhand?
any fast offhand I can get would do
I'm not human so no merit in me using a sword as an offhand
i am human tho
I use barbx2 and barb/shard i really can’t tell the difference in dps
even if human ýou'll want a good fast offhand, if it's a sword that's just a bonus
Once i get prison shank or bfd dagger i’m probably going backstab spec
Just because i can still top raid dps and pvp
aight thanks i know what to do then
does saber slash benefit from sinister strike ranks too or can i just leave SS at rank 1?
Not sure about that honestly.
yeah been trying to figure it out
Just because you have saber doesn’t mean you should never use sinister. Sinister does more direct dmg. After you apply 3 stacks on saber you should use sinister and only saber to refresh your stacks.
^^
gotcha. makes sense

Tbh i don’t notice any direct damage difference. I’ve hit and crit higher with saber and i’ve hit and crit higher with SS feel like it just depends on the damage scale you weapon decides to hit that time.
If you sell fang leg runs, can the person buying reach loot distance from entrance?
Just stand inside once they loot your need or greed should pop up
Saber slash does 130% weapon dmg on initial hit. Sinister strike does 100% and adds ‘X’ amount depending on rank. Rank 4 Sinister strike for example adds 15 dmg. If you take the Cruel Barb it does 57 dmg at cap. 30% of 57 is 17.1 so it’s case yes Saber is just better. If you have a lower damage weapon though to the point where that extra 30% is less than the Sinister strike bonus then it’s still better for direct damage.
anyone running Shadowstrike for pvp and having a hard time giving it up?
Shadowstrike is fun just wish we had shadowstep instead
Hoping we get a shadow dance rune so shadowstrike can be more effective.
It’s still good tho for general gap closing though plus it’s just fun. Just sucks you kinda waste stealth for the most part. Only 150% weapon damage is buns compared to ambush/garrote or even a sap.
I think it would help if they made shadowstrike be affected by backstab talents
yea ive been running shadowstrike with swords as just a world/pvp/farming catchall
Yeah it’s super fun and has its uses. I use it in world PvP too. Like I said just wish it did a little more considering it uses up our stealth.
yep definitely agree with all your points
I have a feeling they’re gonna add shadow dance prolly in the last or second to last phase and that would be a game changer for shadowstrike lol
Correct me I’m wrong, I’m not on rn but I’m pretty it doesn’t have a cd right?
It doesn’t in retail and I don’t think it does in sod either
not seeing a CD on shadowstrike no
there isnt, just dependent on stealth
works well against mages in pvp. open, blink, vanish, shadowstrike
Yeah then a shadow dance rune is gonna be nice with shadow strike. In retail it’s nice but it costs 45 energy vs 20 energy in sod
Tbf in retail it gives two combo points and does a little bit more dmg tho
You’re just not in the Horde and not at the 20th level 
Lmao I’m kidding I have no idea man
which saber slash build do you guys think is better? 6/10 or 14/2
you just rupture instead of SnD?
rupture if boss has mangle debuff and only envenom with 5 deadly poison otherwise
snd is not worth it
maybe higher ranks on other phases
Should you wait for high energy to use envenom?
so no matter what build you do that 5% hit in combat is pretty huge right?
That fully depends on what you're hitting.
the mutilate build in SoD?
So I wanna use 1h swords as a rogue cuz they look cooler but is it worth it since we cant use mutilate?
Thanks for the helpful input sqwerty
sword spec deals more dmg anyway
What spec are people using with mutilate build? I don’t see a pin or anything 🙂
just looted a dagger out of the raid wondering what single dagger build esist.....8 combat 5 subt 3 float?
and for pvp ive been playing around witrh 14 subt 2 combat...
do i put instant posion on both weapons?
they need to add claok of shadows as a rune x.x
what do we do when we ding 25?
damn ive been using slice and dice this whole time
Only until you have deadly brew, once you have that you don’t need to apply poisons at all
does anyone know a guide for rogue cuz im lvl 25 but generally not too knowledgable on what are the best runes or builds for pve or pvp?
Stinging Viper is better than Wingblade right
Stinging viper
fuck deadly brew and trying to sap something
ANYBODY GOT A WORKING MACRO TO SWITCH WHICH WEAPON WHICH HAND
caps
ALSO 0/2/14 hasw been lit for me in pvp
BIG AMBUSH then switch to sword/gun
quick draw/BTE/shadowstrike
windblade is so unfortunate main hand not one hand
I updated this weakaura to show Blade Dance (and Slice & Dice) for Rogue Tanks: https://wago.io/irFG40OFm
Wago.io is a database of sharable World of Warcraft addon elements
as a tanking rogue with cruel barb in main hand, which of the daggers should I be using in off-hand?
Barb
I’d probably run shank for the stats
that's what I'm doing too
What's the respawn time on elite Defias scout in westfall for rune ? 😄
anyone else having issues with the shadowstrike/mutilate macro not working
Looking to start PvPing on my Rogue. What builds are seeing some success in BGs?
5-10 mins. I didn’t have to wait long.
Anyone have a good bis/build guide can link to? I'm seeing mixed opinions
I prefer Saber Slash/Deadly Brew/Envenom for PvE. 16/2/0 for talents.
I've seen a lot of not using SnD, but i prefer opening on boss's with it. Helps get poison up quicker.
Awesome, what weaps?
sword MH and Dagger OH.
Did you figure out the issue or have a working macro you could share?
ive just been using this to do it manual, since butyton bloat is much less i find it better personally bound to one of my mouse thumb buttons
/equipslot 16 <link weapon>
/equipslot 17 <link weapon>
/equipslot 16 <link weapon>
then just reverse
with a line break shrug
So I have Outlaw Sabre from the quest in the Raid... Should I run a fast OH Dagger? Or can I run the MAce from WC? or something else?
outlaw sabre def your best mh
?
if your doing deadly brew/saber you want the fastest speed you can get in oh
I have a 1.3 Atk speed, lvl 23 green BOE of the tiger dagger
so I should stick with this dag then
since the poiosons are % proc on attack more attack = more proc
yeah thats prolly a good offhand
Is it true if we have poisons or sharpened stone, we can't benefit from the WF from a druid?
Meteor Shard would be better in my OH?
its not a strictly better version unfortunately/fortunately
well its 1.8 spd with a decent dmg prooc
also ive been doing some testing
this is basically an emulated version of the vanilla i remember alot of procs/interactions are bugged or new or weird
so it might be that the fire dmg throws a % poison chance
i cant get that dagger to save my lifde so i dont know
i do know that quickdraw with the venomstrike bow benefits from not only your ss talents but also any nature sddmg you have
so if I have a druid in my raid.. do I put poison on my Off HAnd and allows me to windfury? or do I run no poison
the proc on venomstrike can trigger off quickdraw
if your run deadly brew no need to worry, unelss the fight calls for crippling or mind numbing in which case prio offhand for that
so basically, sharpening/weight stone mainhand
yea i typically run deadly brew
poison offhand
mind numbing is amazing in bfd ive found
mind numbing will also proc deadly brew
would be good on 6th boss for sure
Need good people kicking
i got the +def crossbow which is amazing for wanting to try combat tank
mind numbing off hand or MH?
yeah i have the addon thast shgows me how many ppl in grp have interrupts and which are on cooldown
offhand
mind numbing and crippling poi hve same proc rate?
and i was just thginking that with deadly brew crippling might increase your proc by 10%
for deadly but no instant dmg
have to math that out
rule of thumb has alwaqys been tho
slowest mh possible
caveats of course
does anyone know if ap is normalized in this ver?
I currently have 286 AP
i mean normalized regarding wep dmg
no idea
286 tho thats nut
lol
im critting ambushed for 550 with like 195
Yo what adding shows who has used their interrupts???
So rule of thumb - with Druid in group, don't put poisons on with Deadly Brew
Aigh will help me chastise interrupts on Kelris lmao
its so depressing tho
cause it looks like a static window if noone uses
its like a refilling bar annimation
Is Envenom useful when I cant use poisons yet? Just got quickdraw so between the eyes is basically useless now
so youll see your cooldown spooling
but the other be static
sadge
envenom is literally pointleszxs
until 20
i found it early too
Im tryna figure out which rune I can use on my legs to replace between the eyes but they're all tanking runes besides envenom
yeah between the eyes is it
it is kidney shoit but ranged
not bad
between the eyes also keys off ranged wep dmg/atk speed
im still working out the scaling
I went to redridge at 14 been doing alot of wpvp
I usually open with garrote, saber, then slice and dice
Oh for pvp its gonna be nice for sure
its an extra interrupt
Although I dont use daggers so not having backstab will suck
for those groups where your the only one doing it
Tbh, you don't even have to get poisons with deadly brew.
Im only level 14 atm
what server? i just goot my guild togetrher on lone wolf
Lone wolf too
want a ginvite?
Alr in a guild but thank you <3
My main is a warr so I decided to try out rogue for an alt and
Compared to retail rogue? Which I absolutely hate?
Im considering swaping mains
Its fun as shit
Especially when my crits proc
Is lf eu alliance-weighted?
i was killing folks from the canals in stormwind with it lol
I NEED TO GET BACK TO STORMWIND
caps
Pretty even tbh
Got ganked by a 40 man raid of horde warlocks
Tried a warlock after leveling a rogue to 20 - it's a breeze.
No wonder they're popular.
once you get that vw its off to the races
vw?
is there an offensive dispel we can get somehow via an item etc?
voidwalker the blue tank pet
ah
I'm considering leveling my rogue in retail again. I've never really played it, but classic rogue is fun.
I just dont like it bc if you fuck up your rotation, there goes your dps
Outlaw is great tho
bladeflurry gonna be nice
i kinda enjoy being the big big singletarget pumper
we were always supposed to be
but just 0 aoe
you can spread poisons and blered pretty easy on packpulls ive found tho...
sometimes i spam SnD but it wont activiate. all else aside, does the game not override a 5point SnD with a lower point one?
or was this probably a bug/addon issue
why i lost my combo points after i chance my target without damage the other target and the main Target lost his combo points ? is that normal ?
Yes
What is best Off hand for rogue with Cruel Barb main hand?
The game won’t update a high effect with a lower one, idk if it’s based on the initial amount of combo points or the time remaining, but for things like the blade dance rune we can’t extend an existing 5cp 10% parry buff with a 3 cp version untill the 5cp drops off
hello does anyone have a build for dagger ? 😮
ive been using meteor shard and its been solid
something quick though to help apply poisons
That sounds good thank you!
definitely!
worth looking at logs to see what others are doing too. that helped me decide
Is Mut better than backstab when the target is poisoned?
BS edges mutilate right now
does the damage on offhand not matter?
You want speed for poisons
Is there a mathematical explanation for taking Murder over Imp. SnD?
I figured with poison and so much of our damage coming from white dmg, SnD would be solid (even at 20% atk speed).
certainly would account for more than a 2% increase in damage, no?
flat damage is better always
especially with hit rating
plus you dont use SND as much
you should be envenoming more for the poison damage proc
Well lets say poisons and white damage make up 50% of your overall damage. If SnD is a 20% attack speed increase, which is going to increase your white damage and poison damage from more swings, more procs etc., keeping up SnD even half the time would be an overall 5% damage increase over a 2% damage increase, no?
not if you miss autos
quicker autos, chance for more wf procs
its also less combo points for enven
Im just taking into account the damage you do from whites, negating misses. Assuming at the end of a fight, 40% of your damage is white damage.
I mean yea in the grand scheme of things you're talking about a single digit dps increase or decrease lol at level 25
i was just trying to think of why SnD is worse really lol
yeah. Plus I am human which factors into it
think about it this way right
the sooner you can 5 CP envenom the better damage. 75 percent chance to apply a poison is no slouch
in longer fights SnD may be worth it I wont deny that
Yea unfortunately mobs dies in dungeons before I can even get 5 CP LOL. even bosses, if I manage to get 5 CP, im using it AS the boss is dying
i feel like poison damage is a pretty small in the grand scheme of fights
but yeah being such a low level, all kinda meh
frfr
oh dungeon is completely different
if youre only doing dungeons you could totallly make that argument
if youre looking to pop off on trash
we just have no AOE
so I look to nuke bosses
Hate to be this guy, but is this for SoD Rogues or just Classic in general? Trying to be specific with my questions!
Baseline, what is the going raid spec? Or is it gear dependent?
So much conflicting info online haha
Running DB/Envenom/SS
14/2/0
i think we were talking about whether imp snd or lethality was the move
imp snd or murder, lethality for sure haha
also sharpen blade on OF is the moveeeeee
Wait you guys are going to Lethality and missing out on 5% hit? Is that really correct?
Not poison?
For combat? What would the breakdown be?
Im currently 5/5 Malice, 2/2 Murder, 3/3 Ruth, 1/1 Relentless Strikes and 3/5 Lethality. and then 2/2 Imp. SS
Im thinking of going 3/3 Imp SnD and 2/5 Lethality tho and dropping Murder
I feel like missing 5% is just so much damage loss, wish we had dummies to test on lol
mah just have fun
Relentless Strikes is too good imo to not get for SS
Precision will be the go to next phase im sure
rn im running w/o leth and those 3 points are in imp snd
kept murder
the variance between both has got to be tiny
did bfd with some wbuffs yesterday and bfd stone on OH. was slamming
anyone run into the issue of only getting 1 cata charge instead of the 2 were suppose to have?
you talking retail im assuming?
ye, im just trying to see if mines bugged or if anyone else has had this issue
better chance asking not in vanilla chat lol
whoops
its winter where i live, no grass
Raid stuff is better in every slot
is there any benefit to putting instant poison on your weapons with Deadly Brew, or am i reading it correctly that it's redundant?
It's redundant.
I'm guessing that envenom and deadly brew work together?
indeed
Right now at lvl 25, envenom needs deadly brew to work. At 30 we get deadly poison.
@civic trail I googles it and was like the second result just search season of discovery pre raid best in slot
yea was wondering if there was more of a consensus one
Ah, yeah I posted the link earlier and only thing was shoulders could be mantle of thieves
But rare sfk drop
right
Which of saber slash and mutilate is currently better dps?
Most top parsers are saberslash deadly brew and envenom. However, go with whatever you have better weapons for or whatever is more fun.
pre bis on zockify is decent. moral of the story +agility on anything good
and get slow mainhand fast offhand
GG
its really not THAAAAT important
min maxxing this low of level isnt going to impact
Cruel Barb is pretty op since our poisons scale off AP
with Deadly Brew
Would dual cruel barb be the move?
does agi scale better at lower lvls or is the scaling flat (1ap , 1/29 crit)
Do we have any prebis list?
cross dagger of power, 2 less AP than cruel barb but literally more than 2x the swings due to attack speed
for OH obv
is garroote used at all atm?
idk man i feel like dagger backstab isnt doing much dmg in pvp/wsg
I'm wanting to go Slaughter/BTE/ShadowStrike for PvP. Not sure where to place my talents
5 in sub 8 in combat for imo backstab and then 3 in hit or crit seems like the only good bs build
between the eyes i think has hit like 1/25 times
Yeah i pray when i get 5cb and i’m fighting an orc
Rogue has been by far my squishiest character
I'm kinda shocked they didn't put crimson brew in game or added hp Regen to slice and dice
Yeah honestly rogue feels super underwhelming compared to other classes
Dps wise I'm sure it's great at 25.
Yeah pve i’m always topping the chart. But tbh i don’t like pve
raid sword is that the best one or what you guys think ?
Rogue definitely s+ when it comes to the meters
Definitely best sword. Not sure how it compares to shadowfang but that’s expensive
That sword and raid dagger
Yeah chipped tooth or the one from last boss that has leech
is there a reason why someone in the chat said to use rupture if the boss has mangle?
like fastest offhand
wats that about
Mangle increases bleed damage from all sources i’m pretty sure.
more blood dmg
oh didnt kniow
but i dont know
i dont even see it mentiopned on the spell in wowhead
oh nvmd i found it.
i think thats the right one
yea i first saw this listed under uncategorized i guess is incorect
^^
This ashenvale event really is uh....something
alli > horde
Ashenvale event is horrible. Horde definitely have it a little easier. I have both faction but horde is usually main. But yeah ally got shitty end of the stick because of the whirlwind
Should have been a tdm, or point cap and hold. The whole boss thing is terrible.
I'm on an rp server. Alliance wins more
on both weapons the posion ? or is the stone on offhand and mainhand free for windfury the best choice ?
which is the best choise ^^
is there a SoD channel ? pvp section
For more specific sod channels you probably need to go to the classic rogue discord
Let's see if this works
!classic
Nope.
How we feeling about Dual Wield Sword vs OH Dag?
are the ffist weaps from raid any good for rogues? im guessing sword stil better than the mainhand fist but wat about offhand fist?
Does the glove swap still work with shadow strike ?
anyone running details?
if so anyone know how to seperate the Saber Slash dot from the initial hit?
yes @sturdy vine
horde wins more for event but thats just anecdotal
What are the best 2 rings for rogue alliance in SoD?
As wqe cant get Band of the Iron Fist
does anyone else's between the eyes just kinda.. not work in pvp all of a sudden? before today it was great, but it just kinda whiffs literally every single time now
Seal of Wrynn + Thunderbrow Ring
question how come i cant use envenom iu have it but i cant use the ability
Where are you and is there an error message?
You need to have deadly poisons on your target
so with this rune, i wont beable to use the actualy ability?
You need the deadly brew rune with it yes
Oh ok, so without deadly brew i shouldnt use envenom?
Can't
What do you guys do for making money in SoD? I went with mining/engi, but other than just selling ores I havn't really found a good way to get some income
fishing
are you serious or is this for real?
trunks and savory deviate delights make a good constant stream of money
hi guys! Just wondering, since we dont have to actually have instant poison on our weapons with Deadly Brew, can we use Sharpening Stone on OH and still have the OH applying instant poison and Deadly Poison?
Yep
That is poggers
So that means if we dont have Wild Strikes double Sharpening stone is bis while using Envenom?
Ran BFD last night and tried out the poison build. It pumps.
I haven't tested everything but Mutilate felt strong
so does improved sinister affect saber slash?
Yes
Between the Eyes seems to not be working...?
I have energy, I have combo points, I am in range - but can't use it
Do you have ammo
Yep
yes
and +8 atk power or +3 agility dagger in OF ?
Is the ammo equipped?
Which one goes in which hand for saber slash build ?
so, uh, did i screw up leveing alchemy over engineering for my rogue "tank" in SoD?
Not this phase
If you’re horde you can get the outlaw sabre from the BFD quest
Is that for offhand ?
the higher dmg/slower one goes in mainhand
yo what would people run out of talwar main hand, serra'kis dagger OH, or the gusting wind fist
talwar/serra'kis?
so uh, fast OH dagger or Outlaw sabre for saber slash build?
at what point does a fast dagger overtake the AP from Sabre
I think it’s one handed. I didn’t really look if it’s better in MH or OH because I’m playing Hunter in SoD and my main hand is the Wing Blade which is main hand only
has anyone successfully solo'd Baron SIlverlaine for the ring? ive run it 20 times and all i get is boes and the stupid mace
1 str to 3 agi
so 3 agi = 9 str
9str 1 stam>7str 3 stam surely
or is my classic knowledge off? not sure but that's how I remember it
1 agi = 1.9 ap
1 str = 1.1 ap
7 str = 7.7 ap
3 agi = 5.7
if my memory is correct
but its also been almost 20 years for me
what's the best spec for SoD?
Anyone know when a fast dagger OH overtakes Outlaw sabre offhand?
Do we have a statstick gun this phase?
Bow with +1 Agi
You want whatever weapon hits harder in DMG as opposed to speed. Speed is just a side effect
Speed is not a side effect when it comes to keeping up poisons
WoWhead lists our bis OH as a 1.2 speed dagger
Yeah I’ve noticed poisons falling off with a slow dagger offhand before I can get an envenom* out on a boss
maintaining a 5 stack deadly poison is nuts
Anyone try out dps mutilate yet? How's it performing
A little bit behind saberslash but still very strong
Unless you do like i did and accidently send a mutilate into the lightning shield, which ofcourse procs both your poisons and your meteor shard so you instantly get glocked from 100-0 because you did 5 hits at the same time 
I have Meteor Shard OH and MH Outlaw Sabre
Something about it not benefitting from improved backstab
Is there a spreadsheet for min/maxing in SOD yet?
me with 2.7 speed quest reward attack power sword in mainhand and cruel barb in offhand
it's a joyous occasion if i even see 5 stack deadly, but we have a feral so i've been rupturing anyways
Hey! New to the discord! Was wondering about any rogue PvP builds, Im not super into ambush/backstab and would prefer something more dualy! Any help would be awesome!
Hi sorry if this is has been asked, but when I have deadly brew equipped, do I need to still do deadly poison?
No (also you cant apply deadly poison as its for lvl 30, but im assuming you meant instant)
yes sorry i meant instant
so like i guess a better question is what poisons should I run?
crippling and mind numbing?
so they get automatic instant applications
None
Shouldnt we use at least mind numbing in raids?
Read deadly brew again
ok i did
This portion tells me "If i inflict mind numbing or crippling on an enemy, it will also do deadly poison"
which sounds good
is that interpretation wrong?
isnt deadly poison stronger than instant poison?
ok ty
Any tipps for deadly brew? On SoD? Cause legit I even looked up people who run it and I get detected everytime
Do you have distract learned?
I found distract super helpful for that part, it forces them to look away from you
y I have
Could try specing into improved stealth as well maybe jut for this part!
what lvl are you
22
if you have any extra points then do improved stealth i think
you will respec at 25
then nice and slow with distract
yea tbh I will just spec it
@chrome creek ty was a good idea have it
finally I understand the yt videos 🙂
why they run there without any issues
how often can u do the ashenvale worlkd event?
Whenever its up
Which depends on how many players there are in the zone and how much pvp there is going on
there no CD on the rep gain?
No
siuck thankjs
Or well, i think you cant get from the same battle twice (aka by shifting layer)
ok that makes sense
when do i envenmom
Am I crazy or is a shadowstep that can only be used while stealthed, and breaks stealth, insanely garbage?
I don't remember anyone taking it before they changed that lmao
Is it worth going into combat for precision? Running swords
Uh
Thats how it works???
Its an opener
My b read that wrong lol
Yeah its fucking trash
But nobody would use it anyway over mutilate or saber slash
does anyone have tips for farming the waylaid supplies? this rep grind sucks
yo
on sod
with deadly brew
are you supposed to be applying poisons to ur wep or no
blackfathom ritual dagger is better than meteor shard right?
the proc isnt worth 1.3dps on wep surely
It works rlly well against mages
should i be using 14/2 with SnD or 14/2 without?
for talents
Is mutilate worth it for pvp? or just shadowstrike sinister/backstab
try it out i am using it, helps when you cant get behind target
Do I run 2 cruel barb or faster off-hand e.g. meteor shard in off-hand, I have all 3 and in a dungeon run it isnt a big dif on the meters, but the ass proc vs 12 ap sounds like trivialising the weapon speed.
CB mh meteor OH
sixtyupgrades rates cb higher then meteor due to the ap on it I guess
in BFD you'll probably struggle to get to 5 deadly stacks on bosses with CB's attack speed
I might be wrong though
Anyone else find saber slash might be bugged? Sinister strike does quite a bit more damage per hit and you would think 130% weapon damage would be more or similar to 100% plus 15 right?
I know that the bleed component puts it above it just seems like it should still be similar damage
someone playing tank rogue ?
guys, do we need to apply instant poison at all with deadly brew rune?
No
do you guys still use saber slash in WSG?
wondering if shadow strike + quick draw might be better
Sinister Strike hits harder than Saber Slash anyway (until you get the dot rolling) - thoughts?
i saw some ppl using it, but they had the bfd sword
what do people think: improved sprint or opportunity for pvp engagement ?
@fringe quarry I tried it and will for my guild however it is pretty yikes to play, no aoe, no cleave and combo points are not tied to us so we constantly lose them/are out of energy
feels fun and the idea is wicked but in practice is rough imo
i think after level 25 it was worth
saber slash build
I have been testing this, and I think once you have 3 stacks then Sinister is the way to go. I assumed that with good gear and weapons, the % based dmg of Saber would always put it ahead. Perhaps it is bugged or something because in my (short) testing Sinister just hits harder. Obviously the DoT puts Saber ahead overall - but only until you have 3 stacks.
this is true
actually im just realizing now that mathematically outlaw saber should actually just spam saber slash now
this has 51 average damage. 130% of that is 66.3 (saber strike) vs 66 (sinister strike)
that's if the way i think this works is how it actually works and dunno
depends on how high your weapon damage is, sinister strike is ahead on lower weapon damage weapons but falls behind on higher
saber slash > sinister strike, the dot is huge and there's not enough energy regen so you can just maintain the dot from time to time
so just spam slash
what's currently the best PvP spec for rogue in SoD?
Has anyone calculated weather Blackfathom sharpening stone or Instant poison is better to use. I know Poisons are good, but Instant isn't needed to proc deadly right? The hit you get from sharpening stone seems really good. Was just curious
Where have you guys found is good to farm rogue tank rep?
buy this
you don't apply poisons to your weapons at all
blackfathom stone on offhand
wild strikes on main hand with a druid in the group
do the new ranged abilities scale with ur ranged weapon? do we know?
Hey do yall know what our consumables are for bfd?
yes
quick shot does, at least.
Whats better between Improved SnS, Murder and Lethality?
Wait, no poisons at all even on OH? Dang
not with deadly brew, no
I figured the added poison would cause faster proccing
I guess that’s only for pvp now
Read the deadly brew rune
question gents; how we feelin bout envenom and rupture, i been using rupture, w a feral but ive seen some top logs where they use envenom even at low combo pts for the poison procs, anyone got some deets on this ?
Well ye, but applying a poison to your weapon means you cant use sharpening stones or wild strikes (aka windfury)
is there a classic/SoD faq for rogues in this discord?
Wind fury I knew about for MH but I didn’t know sharpening stone locked you out 🥲
So far feels like brewing poison is specifically for PvP. This is my first time running rogue in classic
its a good thing, we get to use more buffs
more damage
it's really convenient to just not need to reapply poisons tbh
first time playing classic and going from making + applying poisons to completely ignoring it is really nice
Yeah now once they get rid of blind reagent it’ll be perfect.
- vanish
Yeah but i won’t be too greedy. No one else has a get out of jail free. But no other class needs a reagent for CC which is why i think blind reagent should be removed.
Does double blackfathom stone stack? In case there is no feral Druid?
Doesn’t rogue have a reagent for blind because rogues have more cc stuns than anyone else?
yes
Does this mean that you shouldn’t use a sharpening stone if you have wild strikes?
If you apply a sharpening stone to your mainhand you will not benefit from wild strikes indeed
Hmm. Didn’t know that. I was still getting the animation for wind fury though it looked like. I guess I need to check my logs.
What is currently the best spec/talents for rogue?
this might be a dumb question but what do I use for SoD ranged as a low level rogue
once I ran out of throwing knifes I have no idea what I should be using
What talents should I be rocking for sword spec? Dipping into combat for precision but i dont like wasting 3 points on dodge when im not doing pvp
guns or bows
Early on you get runes that require a ranged weapon
Thats not throwing
is there a level I can use those?
I started at level 5
AH, easy green gun
Until you get deadly brew, you'll most likely be using quick draw
Good for an opener for combo points
If you use quick draw, and saber slash twice, thats an easy 3 points off the rip
muta animation isnt in
no i mean it wouldnt even hit/activiate. but i think it was just a bugg. worked late ron
is there a SOD thread? Just jioned and dont see it
The whole channel is being used for SoD
Anybody else having trouble with the rune swapping macro where it works but it want's to cast saber slash instead of shadowstrike and it says out of range
Should we be using the Blackfathom Sharpening Stone instead of poisons while in BFD ?
in oh yeah
yes but we don't have Blind yet
I've got Meteor Shard MH and Cross dagger OH, do I go for the backstab build with slaughter or is saber slash / deadly brew viable with 2 daggers?
Hey team, what do you use as hands runes for pvp in sod ?
when using mutilate, is it more dps using a slow offhand for the higher weapon damage, or a faster for poison applications
I’m using shadow strike for maneuverability.
But I’m also playing combat and not backstab.
I just tried backstab with shadowstrike and it’s fun
