did you read the chart correctly?
The starter set is build around ease of obtaining items
@calm temple do tell how to "read" https://shadowpanther.net/armor-pve.htm
where the greens are listed above eye of rend and mask of unforgiven
for their "MAEP" values
despite the fact that they are WORSE for your DPS
This escalated quickly! I’m learning tho
it's really simple to see that shadowpanther has very wonky and misguided stat weights - you can still use it, just ignore the stupid greens that he has listed that are inferior to the blues
Idk what you're looking at
I'm looking at the page I linked.
That’s not what he’s talking about herm
good lord you're slow...
Wasn't this entire topic about bis lists lmao
He’s saying the maep values in the shadow panther item lists have greens being better than eye of rend
No
when you just link the shadowpanther site, a lot of people will end up on the armor pve page that I linked
and they will mistakenly think "hey those greens are really good"
when they're not
even @calm temple thought they were good when they're not
I mean, you should read his FAQ before taking into account what to use lol
Ah yeah idk. I figured most would just click bis and go off of that.
- Do the AEP/MAEP ratings on your charts factor in ability caps, like the Hit Cap?
No. If you're approaching the Hit Cap or any other cap, then you'll need to manually adjust for that when evaluating gear upgrades.
as an example
except "hit cap" is also something that 90%+ of rogues get completely wrong
the 6% "hit cap" (at 305 weapon skill) is what you need to never miss yellow attacks on raid bosses (+3 levels above you)
hit % beyond that is still valuable
getting to yellow hit cap and white hit cap gives different amounts of AEP
it's not a cap, it's a minimum, if you have below 6% hit when raiding then you're insane
you are never reaching "white hit cap"
I appreciate shadowpanther for his page and link his levelling guide a lot (and the BIS page is fine, it's pretty much exactly the same gear as what I linked in the bis link I gave), but his armor-pve page is a mess and a half
and his stat weights are outdated
sorry meant white hits in general
the armor pve page is fine, the weapon pages are concerning
"its fine" - it literally ranks green items as equal to eye of rend/mask of unforgiven
that's not fine.
It’s still valuable but random hit items after getting the 9% for yellows start to lose value over other stats do they not?
Yes
Yea I can’t seem to get damn eye to replace my mask lol
they don't lose much value at all if you look at actual DPS done @sharp grotto
and again, with 305 weapon skill, the yellow "hit cap" is 6%, not 9%
I know this
then why say 9% when 90%+ of raid builds have 305 weapon skill
Because it is 9%
Bc it’s 9%
Just like you don’t say 1% is what you need
Bc you get 5% from talents
except it's 6% for the majority of people who raid as combat
Then it’s 1% in your logic
its 1% for the majority as ShockD pointed out
Bc raid setups have the 5%
We will make sure to say 1% to everyone in here if they mention any other value
^
Pointless corrections lol
Nickel and diming here
except a lot of people who have 305 weapon skill end up misunderstanding and think it's 9%
because people don't clarify
And the people who dont know of the weapon skill?
Youre just putting arbitrary rules on a social forum lol
would learn if you mentioned both!
What is needed if you get Dagger gloves?
Past 305 hit isnt affected
Glancing blows are
Er
Well it is a very minor amount
SOmething like .25% per?
at 308 you reach the best you can get for glancing, the hit % you gain is a tiny amount so it's still 6% in reality
I have a question regarding Instant poison, when DW swords, why does MH proc about 3x as many time as OG? is there an internal CD or PPM involved?
OH*
Always wondered that lol I just marked it up as spamming abilities makes MH hit more often
🤷🏽♂️
yeah, cause i was concidering skipping the DW Swords talent to get 5 points somewhere else, and have more options for OH. Then a faster OH would be kinda nice, but not if it's unable to proc
5 points elswere, + much more procs cant really be far behind DW swords
Do you mean skipping Sword Spec?
Well, do it on paper, take 5% of your melee attack and remove it from your logs
I don't think its a good idea
yeah, i get that, but you would be adding that damage somewhere else
I don't think any other 5 points can reach that level of damage. Sword spec is triggered by Ss and other stuff too, remember.
Only time I would ever not get sword spec.... if I was picking up dagger spec lol
You wouldn’t get any useful talents other than that for dmg tho
hm yeah, i kinda agree. I'm only speculating here. I guess the main benefit of skipping swords would be a wider range of offhand weapons
Ummm still can use others but your MH will gain benefit of sword spec
You'd really gimp your damage doing that, just know that.
Yea
what you do prior to 60 doesn't really matter, I picked up sword spec late once I grabbed Thrash Blade, but at 60, sword spec is huge
Do you guys know of any items that can improve stealth level? I know about the lv 42 LW boots, but am looking for more items for the other slots, do they exist?
I believe there is a belt maybe? Or bracers I can’t remember fully
yeah, I'm getting to where i can get my BiS items, so just speculating and trying to plan ahead. Thanks for the inputs
The nightscape boots are the LW ones
Yea when comes bis talents and such there is basically 1 path for swords for raiding and 1 for daggers it seems... outside of raids is when you can experiment
Aye, there's also the boots from Darkmantle Set and Boots of Displacement from Naxx, not sure what stealth values they give, but just looking for stuff that will make me really, really hard to detect, if you know of any.
Look into belts / bracers... I’m pretty sure I’ve seen them and trashed em.
Got any level range?
No sir :/ maybe good WoW stealth effectiveness items or something
Found this - has some tbc stuff but think that's all of it. https://vanilla-wow.fandom.com/wiki/Stealth_(mechanic)
Were you looking for the rogue ability Stealth? Stealth is an ability that allows players or mobs to sneak around undetected. Most notably a rogue's ability, it is also available (as Prowl) to...
Yea my favorite item that came out was the JC panther trinket
Guess it’s only boots
./dump print(GetHitModifier()) doesn't take stuff like hit from weaponskill into account?
Right? Because that stuff depends on targets level?
it doesn't, ye
Also, how much do you guys value hit % after 9%? Got a funky feeling the popular bis list are completely wacky, and I should equip stuff like Eye of Rend - Wyrmtongue Shoulders?
I still value it highly and consider it strong, the DPS spreadsheet confirms that - hit % is strong because when they made these items Blizzard undervalued hit % by a large amount
So a lot of hit % items have a very high amount of stats for their level, because the hit % is undervalued on Blizzards end
eye vs mask is super close and doesn't really matter
but truestrike shoulders are a DPS upgrade for me over Wyrmtongue
So I’m new to rogue, if we get the 5% hit from talents why do we still want the 9% from gear? Wouldn’t we only want 4%?
he means 9% total
hit % is still valuable after that because it improves your white damage + raises your crit cap
14% hit and 24% crit unbuffed right now as swords.
14% is high, but not a problem - as you get raid gear it starts going down too, because it has less hit %
Yeah BF hood and NS spaulders will take it down a bit I guess. Accuria making up for it
But not below 9% at any point
Even with broken Devilsaur set
no biggie, even if you went below 9%, just don't go below 6% if you have 305 weapon skill
accuria stronk, nice man
I got BF hood yesterday, but Accuria will be harder, since a few fury tanks want it too
and more threat on them helps raid DPS
Nice, I don't have the ring yet, prio on tanks.
If I made it sound like that.
But some day!
3ns and bf legs for me.
haha, I misunderstood
3NS still hot
if you get 5pc before p2, that would be sick ;p
Definitely
But all I care about, is bf hood and vis'kag + brutality, maybe Accuria so I can throw blackstone far, far away.
How is your guild handling Quickstrike ring Hanbi?
stealth level doesn't really do much. it makes you less likely to be seen by enemies that are higher lvl than you but that's it. I wouldn't focus too much on that as we have a hard enough time killing enemies higher than we are
It's for.. niche stuff, not running around pvp'ing or pve'ing with it.
gotcha
Yea I have 11% hit right now but will drop to 9% when I get rid of mask... but then can still be okay to even drop DS set if I came across better which is hard to do lol except aged core and BF
@silent burrow warriors first
no quickstrikes for us for a while
because its just a bigger upgrade for dps warriors
sucks, but probably fair
we've been doing 2x onyxia for a while, so I think we'll start getting ony necks on rogues pretty soon - not a big pve upgrade, but its really nice for pvp
and the 1% hit is nice to actually get 5% in pvp without precision
We're doing rogue/war dps > everything else.
After slapping one on mt.
Ony head, that is.
Sounds right.
Both?
You cannot get both 🙂
Sure you can.
Hey all, looking to help out the other rogues in my guild and want to make sure I provide them with some external sources to read up on. Outside of ravenholdt and this channel, what other sources would you all recommend to players of varying experience? The last thing I want to do is give them the equivalent of noxxic from way back
Classic rogue disc, Shadowpanther
Classic wowhead guides are good.
Where would I be able to find a link to the classic rogue disc?
Thank you all of you for your help. It's very appreciated
that dire maul though
yeboi
inb4 never getting ring
,<
Is ruthlessness > murder ?
For what spec?
You showed that dag spec
DM hype, time to farm for quel 5ever
Will load the sheet and see, I assume so otherwise the site would have changed.
Guess I’m MC murder is Garbo lol but anywhere else 2% seems good but prob not lol
this is what we have now
Murder is very bad in MC yeah.
with.
Again, requires the right target.
Otherwise you go down to ~705
Not by an amount that matters.
Yea I was sayin no reason to spec out of murder lol
For me
Since 5g is all I have haha... damn epic mount
Yeah you're gonna do something to those types eventually.
and it's a LOT of damage.
And also murder on onyxia so like 50% of the raid content it works on
Dagger on ONY is even funnier considering your threat management requirements there.
Vanish seems fine now?
It’s gonna be so weird
I've had it fully drop combat multiple times since the bug.
I might just hold up and wait for 5 sunders before going ham
You don't DPS unless the last 15 seconds of P1 anyway.
and then stand around managing whelps and not getting roasted.
unless == until
Idk shit about classic raiding
Shit's wack.
and kinda boring.
as melee.
Rag == In and Out, stand over there and DO NOT DIE
Ony == SLOW DPS, OKAY ALL OF YOUR DPS, OKAY DON'T DIE, REPEAT
those rings from tribute runs will be nasty
To begin with, for sure.
I wish DM had a good mainhand dagger
You get Distracting Dagger though > _>
Yea but my options for mainhand are memestriker, memeseeker, and barman’s
[9:05 PM] Crazy "2 Jointz” Muffin: Even with vanish``` never had that happen to me
It's got a bunch of pointy bits.
just vanish p3 onyxia, wait for tank to get it, go all out after
That's nice that it didn't, for a few hours that one day Vanish didn't drop threat just combat.
Just cleave the raid :3
thats fine too if you're in the right spot
Their problem not yours.
Tell the tank to aggro harder
rogue tanks are awesome on Onyxia, that's how I got my Vis'kag
p1 is sketchy as fuck threat-wise, but p3 is easy once its on a tank
can go ham then
I currently have engineering/skinning at lvl 45. Should I drop skinning for mining or herbalism if i'm going to pick up alchemy at lvl 60?
that depends, do you not want to use skinning for profit/your devilsaur set at 60?
why do you have engi already? thats more common to pick up a bit later into 60, after you've sorted out other things
Skip devilsaur farm dungeons harder.
and yeah Engineering is more commonly switched INTO @ 60 once you have the money to level it.
Maybe after you have your Epic Mount as well?
I’m grabbing devilsaur because apparently the time I have for classic is way less than I thought
Depends on your luck and stuff as well.
And I won’t farm full pre bis before I just start raiding
Cape of the black baron for example I probably won’t farm
@maiden cave Idk did i grab it too early :/
its not a huge deal, its just common to save it because then you can have 2 professions focused on money/stockpiling mats until you get epic mount
then grab engineering for PvP when you're more "settled", you know?
Should I drop it?
how high is it?
shrug, your choice - I personally didn't care about professions until I got my epic mount, then I used that to powerlevel herb + mining, then I dropped mining for engineering so I'm herb+engi for the next long while
but having skinning is not bad if devilsaur prices are high on your server
you do what works for you, if you aren't gonna farm devilsaur then skinning isnt worth much
Isnt it super hard to get devilsaur skins because of the amount of people trying to farm it?
it can be
again, varies per server
I've got guildies who have farmed it pretty hard solo with no one around, then other servers you got devilsaur mafia out in force
Eh I guess ill drop engi. 15g isnt too much in the long run i guess
I might just stick with mining/skinning until 60
again, your choice, just saying what I did :c can keep it too and drop skinning, but shrug
sure
is there a pre-bis list with diremaul gear included? now that blizz said that's gonna be open next week
it doesnt change much
its just bracers + rings
and potentially some +dagger gear if you're dagger
https://classic.wowhead.com/item=18375/bracers-of-the-eclipse https://classic.wowhead.com/item=18500/tarnished-elven-ring
This blue leather armor of item level 62 goes in the "Wrist" slot. It is looted from Prince Tortheldrin. Added in Classic World of Warcraft.
satyr's bow is nice too (faster atk speed than blackcrow, same stats) https://classic.wowhead.com/item=18323/satyrs-bow
there are some +dagger mods right?
apparently I only read the first 20% and last 20%
lol fuck me now my guild is dropping me from raid for the night bc they want to drop to 4 rogues instead of 5
?????
It’s fucking MC and ony
They have shady shit going on
One of the rogues or one of the officers wants rogue loot
Following the ShockD saga casually, it seems very apparent his guild does not like him much
With the context provided
Or that they don’t like him
Which is a shame
Find a new guild immediately
bullshit decision indeed

Warriors think they have the market on everything
1% crit is worth like, 20AP, guys nuts.
what is better argent dawn or thrash blade for general use?
Thrash I say.
5 dps increase vs extra attack on chance
yeah i thought thrash as well
what about cadavarous belt vs vosh'gajin strand?
There are charts in the pins.
Lvl 40. Just grinding to level. Is there a spec that will help to endlessly kill mobs 1x1x1x1?
hmmm is it worth to break DS set? to use rend helm and Cad chest?
oops i ment rando legs
like cad legs and eye
Wouldnt you just us DS set and eye?
anyoneknow if the new MC/Ony BiS has changed with the 6% hit stuff
@shadow tapir you think its worth breaking the DS to get 6 pc?
wish i had a way to sim them loll
Spreadsheet lets you
Rogue classic disc has a channel for dps spreadsheet, just download it and use the site
Apparently the site is kinda rough
lol i click download and just sits there an empty box
Yeah not sure, never used it
it's sketchy
sketch download on mediafire for the sheet, and apparently the macros only work in WPS, some chinese Office clone
:x
Good $$$
last time I imported it, many of the talent cells weren't working properly. i'll check again
yeah 😦
I get "Invalid:
Input must fall within specified range" when attempting to change things. like AR to 0, instead of 1
It breaks for me from time to time and just changing shit/refreshing it seems to work eventually.
I think so long I wait until the calcs are done after changing a setting before making another change, things seem fine.
But the math is so simple that I just us my fucking brain.
wtf happened to the fucking black dragonscale market
Guess P2 stuff.
yea i cant gfet the damn sheet to work lol
Worf
noice
lol
distracting's better pre raid
bc of the +6?
it's +6 according to atlasloot
@shadow tapir nice price!
Hickory Pipe 
i'm p sure i've bugged it out somehow, but hilarious either way
awesome haha
and i only did brd runs for like 2 days
we were mostly talking about Hickory Pipes, but you do you
where are your Whipper Roots
gonna start farming them before they remove layering. was busy with other stuff
that's a lot of devilsaur
@exotic trellis You'd go distracting dagger instead of Mugger's Belt?
@stoic cairn lol you just farm devilsaur all damn day?
not all day but a few hours
just a few
lol just hve 12 pants and 10 gloves in bags and prob made alot more
screenshots like that make me realize how bad I am at this game
How is it bad not having time to farm a lot of gold 🤔
What are you gonna need all the gold for anyway
Faps, lips and sappers i assume
Bracers and rangs
Bracers are bis and tarnished elven is bis for 1, pre bis for 2 if memory serves
some ppl enjoy the AH/Economy game just as much as the game play
Hickory pipe farm > Devilsaur farm
What about some other dungeon farm if you don't want to respec subtlety?
like RFD or SM?
anyone have advice on tidal charm farming?
Sacrifice goats.
On that note. A good brd route
Nearly hitting 60 and want to get my no brain farm on
is fiery weapon OK for rogue?
instead of crusader as an alternative because i don't want to put crusader on thrash blade
You can get +4 Striking as well.
+5 is basically the same as Crusader or +15Agility, +4 is probably what I would do.
The cost difference between all of those Enchants and +4 striking is hilarious.
vs
This reminds me to get it on my Mirah's Song for when I eventually have to use that damned thing again.
i plan on leaving a lvl 1 alt near the spawn
and check every now and then
prob take me months
i know it shares Dr with stuns tho, so does it share with CS or KS?
Used for twinks too so better get it before P2
ye
@stoic cairn yeah we're talking about gold https://puu.sh/Eqftq/6bfb20338b.png
so many penises on display today
ilvls in classic 
Ye
did they nerf the droprate on the epic mage chest pattern? havent seen it in nearly 20 runs
is that even worth farming
i got mine on my 56th kill of pyromancer
i usually only go at the end of a ubrs run since im already there
and if youre geared enough, its efficient to kill 3 pyromancers in one run, as opposed to resetting after just 1 kill
youll have to wait for vanish to come back up tho
Is there any PVP focused build that's also ok in PVE?
Nope, maybe some dagger build?
I reseted my talents to test the hemo build but it suck in pve
What a way to waste 30 gold 
Yeah that wasn't smart.
idk alot of ppl just play there pvp spec in pve lol
if you have MC on farm w/E lol
who cares
if your farming dungeons still then ye then its a yikes
What’s the hit needed for pvp? 5%?
Yup
kk cool thanks
so has anyone gotten a BoE out of a lockbox? not just from the pickpocket itself
They are exceedingly rare in the junkboxes but they exist.
Though the amount you'd probably need to open
I just haven't heard/seen anywhere, but i've known multiple ppl to get them off of picking
one day
tbh seems like someting not even worth trying to farm, maybe you'll get lucky maybe you won't
of course, just seems like the loot table might not be what we think it is/bugged, but who knows
I've done 100s of hoj runs with my pals... nothing... yesterday I swap to my other account mage and join a brd and what do I see
and a 55 rouge beat the 60 rogue in our group for it lol
that's my plan, to do much BRD as possbile at 55.
so i can focus on ubrs/lbsr/strat/scholo
@marble dune tidal charm shares DR with kidney shot
Servants in Blasted Lands
https://classic.wowhead.com/npc=7670/servant-of-allistarj#comments
anyone know if instant poison counts as a spell, as far as spellcrit and hit are concerned?
i might use the mara sword, with spell crit as a crutch
inventors focal sword
i leveled maces because i got super cheap midnight maces to level, about to get thrash
Quick question, should I get the dagger or sword from the SM quest chain? Been leveling with slow main hand and dagger in the offhand with no points spent on weapon spec yet.
Unless youre swapping to daggers get the sword
Unless you have a MH thats better?
Which at that point is only like BoEs or the mace from Cath
I've scrolled up for like a weeks worth of messages, but couldn't find any info. The WoWhead BiS list for raid gear has a TON of +hit. Is that a complete BiS list? Or does it make sense to swap out certain pieces if you've reached the total +9% hit total threshhold?
The yellow "hit cap" at 300 weapon skill is 9%, as you said. At 305 weapon skill it is 6%, due to the lower difference between WS and the Defense rating of the bosses. Hit % beyond that is still valuable because it 1) improves your white damage, which is the biggest part of your overall damage dealt 2) increases your crit cap.
So you should not avoid hit % gear just because you are above the yellow "hit cap" - you should simply use the gear that gives you the highest DPS boost, which can still be hit % gear depending on the items.
I'm at 9% hit right now despite only needing 6% to "hit cap" and I will happily go for 10%/12% in raid gear if Truestrike Shoulders would drop + picking up 2x Tarnished Elven Rings once DM releases.
@radiant steeple
when reaching 11-12% hit, you can also start working on agility&crit% instead as they will give nearly the same value and might outperform hit% alone.
but calculating if its a gain or not is difficult :/
shouldn't overthink it that much, hit % remains a fine stat regardless
https://www.wowisclassic.com/en/talent-calculator/rogue/KZf6t-n6vSp-10UjenOna/ cant tell if this is the pvp build i want to go
maybe not take Imp sap but go Serrated blades
Can anyone confirm if the runecloth turn in quest is 50 or 150 rep?
wowhead says 150 but comments say 50
150 first time i think... but 50 rest of the time
mmm darn
Was wanting to get a tiger for my epic mount but thats like 800 gold worth of runecloth
o well
i want a raptor but same situation haha
i will probably just wait for the pvp mounts
Pretty sure PvP mounts take way longer to grind.
Yeah but you're also running AV for other reasons.
Yeah def a more productive grind
Also FEELS better.
I've been farming Meshlok on my 52 rogue for chest while I wait on friends for BRD.. Finally find him on 16th reset and he drops mail helm 
😐
Wondering if it's even worth at this point lol
Don't think I'd replace until SC though
Lol I hate seeing the drop in crit / AP when I put on 6pc sc over the 4pc + DS + eye + cad chest lol
10g from epic mount woo
you go girl 🙏
Forgot these had that on them.
thats pretty
yeeee
Hey Guys, I've been looking around at some different builds people have been doing online. I've seen Sub being played in PvE with it being split between the Coldblood Hemmorage build and the 7/13/31 build. Not sure if this is where I should be asking since i'm new to the channel. But is anyone here playing Sub in PvE. I wanted to try something different then just Combat Daggers/Swords.
Only 22 hours at 60 not bad
Not many people will play sub in raiding and if they do its likely because theyre using it for pvp and not spending the hold to respec.
Hmm okay. Our guild does World PvP for shit's and giggles untill the honor system comes out, and we are starting to invest into raiding now too. So I wasn't sure if doing a Hemmorage build with Combat would be better, or not.
you're better off going 1 or the other and not combining the 2
otherwise you'll be suboptimal for both things, rather than just suboptimal for 1
That's fair
Do you know what would be the best talents to pick up for a sub build then?
Just play combat daggers in PvP

Lol
so aids dueling warriors as horde
bc every warrior is orc
glad i dont have to face them in pvp lol
anyone know if i prewotf a fear or seduce, will it still trigger DR even if im immune?
I am me.
some rogue did that to me when I was picking up a quest item spawn
then I chased and killed him
I debated on doing that Noobe if I ever seen hordes that camped me while leveling.
then I'd kill them after taking the leather.
any good resources or addon for hit and crit calc?
well that's the easiest thing to do in Classic.
Stat calcs are fucked in game, countem up or look @ your attack icon for crit.
Did you go off a guide for cooking
Yeah but it was just extremely basic stuff.
Like I would look for the cheapest stuff to make and then make it.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
There were some items that turned over to vendor fine, but it would have to be really low level stuff or very heavily farmed.
10:08 PM] Mizerok - Stalagg [H]: Stat calcs are fucked in game, countem up or look @ your attack icon for crit. mine seems fine tbh
They're not, hit calc for a lot of mods is very scuffed.
This is most likely due to aura calcs. being fucked still though.
uhh
A rogue in guild has thought he has been missing a hit for last 2 weeks bc his addon says 8%.... but the admins don’t take weap skill into thought lol
they fixed the devilsaur bug if that's what you mean
its been fixed for a while now
its been fixed for a week exactly, the devilsaur and 2% hit items bug
it does not happen any more
I've no DS.
What you run now miz
and even manually fixing the aura buff still made me "gain" 1% hit by removing Blackcrow.
Same shit, nothing drops.
6 pc with eye/cad?
Or what you got goin
I’m just running 4 pc eye/cad/DS atm... I hate seeing how much AP I lose by swapping the DS shit lol
Cad won't drop 😐
Took me my 32nd run lol
SC helm won’t drop for me
AP takes a huge hit from dropping DS tho so it makes me worry haha... but I love eye / cad ... so I settle with all I use now
I will test 3-4 different stat displays in a moment.
THESE SPRITE DARTER AREN'T KILLING THEMSELVES.
you poor thing
5pc NS before p2 begins, you're pretty set
all the rogues being sneaky going dagger spec to get prio on dagger
cant do that cuz got viskagg lel
Yeah spiking from 0 to 100 is O _O
6% naked huh?
hmmm
requires a reload to "fix"
what
w u t
Blackcrow seems whacky, Rune works fine.
O_O ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah likethat.
Wacky.
yeah same results every time, how weird
seems to refresh the best, only requires a character pane toggle to be mostly right.
and it's only being naked and trying ranged weapons that makes things really weird.
i mean the crit % helps offhand to
but dagger has better chance to crit
if dagger spec in combat
i would just use dags
it crits more so more dmg
heeeeeeeck yeah distracting dagger
Naked?
precision and wep expertise
Nah. Because I can then refresh the window and have 5%.
ohy
Some addons have sticky hit stat calc for some reason.
ye since the hit% and all of them isnt an ingame thing
the addons are weird
same with set hit bonuses like devilsaur and cadav
I've gotten up to like, 11% hit with Ancient Bone Bow and no Devilsaur.
I do not have 11% hit. lol
Some addons require a consoleRefresh.
The last one I posted seems to be accurate after you reopen the Character Pane.
This oddity is also ONLY in regards to the ranged slot.
Like I can replicate it right now, even with the best addon I've seen;
Tjat
That's right
That's wrong.
That's right.
You can do the above if you have Blackcrow.
y i use deja aswell
The ranged slot is just weird without refreshing.
Deja and w/e the fuck I use now seem 👌
CharacterStatsClassic
I like the way it looks more as well > _>
That was with some extended character stats thing or something.
wouldnt be bad to be around 8-9 anyway most of the time
Deja or CSS seem to work well enough.
With CSS, in my opinion, looking better.
Reminds me of the updated Character Pane Stats, I think.
16%, ezpz.
As Swords 🙏 ?
No barman shankers
Oh haha.
Extendedcharacterstats i believe is the one im using for stats. Seems good
🔫
@wraith parcel dear lord WHAT
you've got to be kidding
tell the fuckers they're doing it wrong 😄
need that perdy felstriker combo
Got my ring from mara, 25g including 5g for tip, took 3 carry run
I'd say it well fucking worth it because all pugs that I was in always fall apart right at Princess.
1hr to ONY buff on Stalagg.
Any insight on goblin vs gnomish engineering?
Doesnt seem like theres a huge difference. Some utility trinkets vs different explosives but I might be missing something
Gnomish to cap, reroll to cap for Goblin.
Then I gotta relevel it dont I?
Cap is usable by any engineer so think Id just need to buy it anyway
That makes sense though, goblin has the things Id need to keep making into the future
ONY Head 2min Stalagg
stalagg fed ony head to master, no buff
Is it worth it breaking the devilsaur set to use core leather gloves if i'm daggers?
honestly I have no clue how 2% hit is in comparison to +5 daggers lol
casual ORG
Yeah that's the issue i'm having.
No idea how 2% hits compares to +5 daggers
+5 daggers is worth 2% hit if it's the first 5 added weapon skill.
so assuming i have no other +5 to daggers it's worth?
It will be worth 3% hit, 2% from bunk math, 1% from removing the hit suppression by being under 10 weapon skill difference from your target.
so <= 10 under is the suppression range and not 15?
More than a 10 skill difference between your weapon and the target's defense gives you the penalty
So a 63 target and 300 skill
What are the benefits to going over 305? if any
Little bit of hit, removes some glancing blow damage
Or rather removes some glancing blow deduction to your hits
308 reduces the Glancing Blow damage reduction penalty to 5%.
so does picking up the belt from DM (+5 daggers) and core gloves become less value?
Should i just stick with core gloves
guess it's close to cloudrunner, I cant figure out exact numbers with the hit stacking to 305/310
Don't worry about it after 305, IMO.
@plucky nymph what's the mod you're using that flags items as p1 raid bis
Atlasloot
oh is that you favouriting it?
Yes
ah kk
Any arguments either way for Nightslayer wrists vs DM ones?
theyre absurdly close dps wise, is the stam worth wearing?
@odd siren I'll pick up NS bracers only for PvP with 5pc NS
since they're so close
definitely not something you should care too much about if you mostly want pve dmg upgrades
i mean im sure we've all been randomly one shot by MC trash enough to value stam at least a little right? guess not for parsing tho
definitely value Sta, but also just a lot more careful on trash mobs lately, don't want to lose wbuffs ;p
ive been shooting the 4 mob packs with my bow lol
worth it for my harbinger parse this week tho

hey guys quick question, my guildies told me that rog need more than the soft cap 9% for the white hit, while im sitting here with around 8% hit rate from gear and 5% hit rate from talent in total of 13%, is it the correct stuff that im doing? or jst aim for 9% hit rate total, currently doing pre bis gearing and only around 6 pre bis gear
@main mesa either approach is fine, as long as you're using pieces that provide you great DPS.
also, yellow hit cap is 6% if you have 305 WS, 9% for 300 WS
I'm at 9% hit right now despite only needing 6% to "hit cap" and I will happily go for 10%/12% in raid gear if Truestrike Shoulders would drop + picking up 2x Tarnished Elven Rings once DM releases.
I see, i thought that i better look for crit chance/agi/atck pow gear if i alrdy have 9% hit cap
you should always just look for the best items, people get some weird idea that they need to avoid all hit % just because they're above the yellow hit cap, that's wrong
but I'm not telling you to use rune of the guard captain over Hand of Justice
I gave up farming HoJ... fuck that lol...
And I’ve passed on last 3 pairs of truestrikes bc I don’t want them or care to have them really... rather use SC 4 pc, DS set, eye/cad chest.. I could manage to lose DS set to go 6 pc but I hate seeing AP take such a hit lol
out of all the "pre raid bis" items to farm
hoj is prob the most imporant
everything else can be replaced easily by mc epics
except hoj..
One of our warriors got a BRE out of a pug, so HoJ is bis for him until... TBC nerfs it
someone made one > _>
is there a way to decrease pickpockets chance of resisting? like hit or spell hit?
Pog bag
evening
is the fast offhand thing how crucial in classic? like, if i would get dalrends mainhand and use thrash blade oh for the proc or is the poison application so much more valuable ?
yeah, i just got mirah's
was just wandering about that thrash-proc how much is it worth
i have 6pc shadowcraft and HoJ
wondering even
Is hoj that good for dagger rogues too? Or just really good for sword rogues
Should be similarly good since it’s a flat chance to proc
Think its better for swords cause sword specialization talent
is good for daggers as well, especially since there arent any better trinkets in p1
Can it proc off of sword spec procs?
Would make sense its better for swords then yeah.
It can proc off any weapon swing
Hmm I thought they prevented weird infinite procs like that. Might have just been windfury though
Windfury can proc itself
It can but it was nerfed at the patch classic is based
hey, for combat sword rogue, in the offhand a sword for the sword specialisation procc or a fist weapon with 5dps more and a bit more max dmg
?
Your offhand with sword can proc passive talent, so even if its 5 dps less, it could still be better
especially if your offhand sword is fast
Mirah's Song is easy to get.
Free basically, and very good.
I don't know how 60s are so bad or classic rogue are just strong as f, I'm just killing 60s like nothing and I'm only 55.
and I only gank if provoked.
I just figured because a weapon swing from a dagger is less strong then one of a sword. Making the trinket a bit less good
Yesterday was a good day, a random druid whispered me for 3 man angerforge stealth runs, HoJ dropped on the 2nd run and I won, on the 4th one another one dropped and he won it. 2/5 HoJ is pretty outrageous but finally got it
Iirc windfury cant proc on itself in 1.12
It can however proc of other procs, so you can go wf > hoj > swordspec > wf, but not wf > wf
But im not 100% sure as im not playing horde atm
Ah I see. It has an internal cooldown. Eleem is right
guys better belt between the cloudrunner from ubrs or cavaderous belt from scholo? saw both being a bis in several different site
I guess it probably depends but if you're low on hp, I'd probably go with cadaverous tbh. If you're dead you can't do dmg 🙂
ic thanks guys
@signal ember re pvp vs rogue. i recall.. spell pushback, and low armor value of cloth. Our warlock got beat by a naked rogue with maces. so yeah, enjoy making people cry. Wish i was there with you.
I was talking to a buddy and he said picking up Improved poisons is worth it for a sword build. Is it?
What would you drop to get it
@molten grail don't agree
He was saying to drop Lethality but yeah I thought it was a odd choice, figured I'd ask here
Lethality IMO is huge dmg
So I was looking at classic rogue disc's pvp daggers build here
https://classicdb.ch/?talent#fGx0oxZGcM0bZVMjcc0R
But I wanted to see about getting CB too. So like this.
https://classicdb.ch/?talent#fGeboxzZGcZVMjcc0o
Giving up Dirty Deeds, Precision, and Imp Sprint for Murder, Ruthlessness, and CB. I dont feel like Dirty deeds or precision are that huge assuming Im hit capped from gear however Imp Sprint sounds iffy. Thoughts?

I always tell this to people about talents. You can set up your own stuff how you want. But due to the game being as old as it is, we know the most viable talents already. So it comes down to do you want to be viable to the max, or play how you wanna play.
herm
Oh snap what up lol
Also tawney no improved Sprint in PvP sounds like self torture just fyi
You can also go passed hit cap, it's actually not bad.
I mean would you like to hit more white hits?
In a vacuum? sure. Thats not what this is though
Im not saying its bad
Person who made the build even specified its unnecessary if youre at cap. Other talents are definitely more valuable
I am lvl 40 switching to a mace build from daggers... https://classic.wowhead.com/talent-calc/rogue/30502-32005501000401 looks right?
not mace specific, just happens to be a mace in my MH
@vocal hornet I was mainly fighting rogues/warriors/druids.
There is no reason to not have the fifth point in OH damage, instead of Sprint CD reduction, or removing impairment effects (LOL)
The minor increase in OH damage will never be seen /shrug
Even for PVE breaking nets and shit is worth it.
it’s pretty much which classes do you prefer to have an advantage vs
One could argue cold blood is extremely helpful early on Bc low health pools
you would absolutely rekt priest and warlocks with cold blood (also imp sprint doesn’t do much vs them)
but get owned by mages without imp sprint
Reminder priests pvp trinket breaks stun
which profession would you consider better for making money and general usage alongside engineering - mining or enchanting?
I'm considering dropping Herb for Enchanting just for the DE mats
The competition picking herbs is rife and most are worthless
Enchanting is decent if youre lazy
Not so much lazy, but not got the time just to go out farming herbs really
Black Lotus isnt really selling much and I found ONE in my entire time in the zones which spawn them
Did you try ghost mushrooms in maraudon?
I've seen the Mara Ghost Shroom farms but at least DEing I can do while farming BiS/Other gear
On private servers you could enter (dont remember which entrance), gather, reset repeat
Yeah but once you have the gear, how many dungeons will you be running
For boe you can justmake a lvl 5 disenchanter
Question for everyone regarding hit/crit cap in pve. Does improved backstab suffer from crit cap restrictions? i.e. do you require hit above 6% (with 305 weapon skill) to take full advantage of imp backstab? I'm curious if hit above 6% would still be worth stacking because of this or if it would be better to take agil/ap/crit.
yellow attacks don't glance, so they're very hard to be crit capped on - the 6% hit you are talking about is about not missing yellow attacks, not necessarily crit cap
its fine to still have hit % beyond 6%, it improves your white damage
Dwarf
Dwarf and it's not even close.
Gnome
Could someone give me a tldr on the approach for combat swords MH swing timer? (The general rule for timing/waiting)
Doing some research and want to ensure I understand 🙂
Don't use them as a Rogue, ezpz.
The general idea is that the Swing Timer is used to make sure you are resetting your MH swing timer as close to the beginning of your Swing Timer as possible so that you spend less time winding up your swing.
Anything that will proc Sword Specialization will reset your Swing Timer.
So then I'm assuming the general consensus for best Alliance PvP rogue race would be Dwarf then (I hear this online as well as on here and logically it makes sense since Stoneform enables easy restealths)
That entirely depends on what you are doing and who you are fighting.
We've solutions for what Escape Artist does as well, but cannot remove the DoTs like Dwarf can.
How important this is also depends on what kind of content you are doing, as re-opening on a target might not be feasible in certain cases.
I’m horse but if I was alliance I would be gnome 100%... roots and slows too strong
When I get mirah's blade should I still mainhand thrash blade with that in the oh? or vice versa
thrash + mirah, yup, thrash MH
SC4 piece ( boots, belt, wrist, helm ) vs mask/eye, cloudrunner, dread wolf boots and deepfury bracers?
Whichever is easiest to get tbh
Anyone know how to make a macro for casting Blood Fury and Blade Flurry at the same time?
probably a stupid question. if im playing swords but get a dagger with better dps, is it worth putting it in OH?
nope
i mean it depends on how better
but the difference should be really significant
for the dagger to be better
so i got a 18.9 dps sword , a 13,9 dps one and a 17.7 dps dagger (lv 30 gear)
it doesn't matter then since you don't have sword specialization
so use a staff in the oh for all you care
ok, thanks
Wonder if two geared rogues could two man General Angerforge and sell HoJ drops
Rogue and Druid can do it easily
Potentially 2 rogues sharing Evasion tanking and blowing CDs
Drop rate is too low for sell runs IMO though
Yeah true about the drop rate
Dagger options are so slim in this phase
perdy felstriker just rip it
lol i wish
perdy CHT
Not really raiding unfortunately
Maybe will find a pug one day
Shadowfoot stabber/Bonescraper might be decent
If I'm in combat and have combo points on a mob, and then distract another target not in combat, I lose the combo points on the current target. Is that the intended interaction?
Not sure but I assume its counting you as attacking them. Pretty annoying.
You have to "target" the thing you are distracting.
Interesting! Thank you for confirming!
its the same as you BF'ing another mob
actually
thats not the
weird as shit
if you dont swap targets
idk
TOTALLY sounds like a bug or an unintended interation
BF is a single-target short-range AoE spell
therefore you get to keep combo points
I lost combo points using Iron Grenade on another pack of mobs while focusing one (that didn't get naded) too
kinda annoying, heh
@shadow tapir Tried two-manning it with another (mostly) MC geared rogue (I've got like 6 raid pieces, he has 7). We got a few kills but not consistently, though all wipes were sub-10% so a bit more gear would do it. Only problem is HoJ droprate being 3% or whatever so sell-runs wouldn't be worth it, as you'd have to charge a ton to make the time investment vs droprate worth it.
Hello and good evening everybody, i've been farming the Cadaverous Armor chest for a while now and it wont drop whatsoever, today i got a leather piece from Scholomance again the last boss chest piece called Tombstone Breastplate, im currently equipped with a 24 agility 5 strenght greeny and i was wondering if its worth replacing the green chest for 2% crit...Greeny is called Traphook Jerkin, any thoughts?
@radiant yew I'd use tombstone over that green, sure
but don't stop farming for Cad chest or SC chest
(if you want 6pc SC, since it's very good)
I do have molten core pieces, just that i havent gotten any decent chests yet.
Thank you tho @maiden cave
How long is the Devilsaur set BiS for? Is it worth buying if I'm raiding already?
depends on the price but its a pretty good dps increase
if you get the t1 gloves/legs already it doesn't matter much then
t1gloves+t2legs beat devilsaur out, but not by much
yeah its only when you have both that devilsaur loses
Is a fast dagger in off hand bad?
Perfect thank you
Keep in mind if you are sword spec you lose some dps tho
Because your offhand won't proc mainhand double strikes
I thought OH could only proc OH strikes
I currently have Dire Nail of Power in my OH Slot. A gutgore ripper just dropped.. is that actually an upgrade or do the lack of stats make it trash
Gutgore has like TWICE the bottom end...
14 AP = 1 wdps
how id OH dmg calculated? do we need more hit for it to be better or how does it work really
It'd be for my OH. i have Ironfoe in my MH (lol)
wtfareyoudoing...
Dinged 60 yday. Gotta go with what I get, right? 🙂
Yep.
Wonder if anyone else needed ironfoe in the group 
nope. FFA roll
@robust moon the "hard hit cap" is like 24-25% at 305 skill, not something you will get
the yellow hit cap is 6% @ 305
so extra hit rating is kinda always useful?
sure, it improves your white dmg + raises your crit cap, bu don't take it over an equal amount of crit %
balance your stats
its pre bis
ikr
so like
its the best set before you start raiding - whether you think thats worth the gold is up to you
and it needs both BF pants + NS gloves to replace (1 piece is not enough)
100% worth it
im just waiting on good moment.. cuz atm on my server AH flippers go nuts
~500g for set and 24g per 1x devilsaur hide
gonna wait few days
Hows shadowfoot stabber as a MH for a pvp dagger build?
I know its no heartseeker but only 30g
does anyone know Shadowcraft 6set bonus proc rate?
Skip Devilsaur, ezpz
nah, I'm gonna get it as soon as devilsaur leather prices go down
all im missing is just 14x leather
Just don't, there's not point, you don't need 4pct hit.
Does respecing cost cap?
ugh
