#

Literally what

calm temple
#

did you read the chart correctly?

tough pilot
#

The starter set is build around ease of obtaining items

maiden cave
#

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

sharp grotto
#

This escalated quickly! I’m learning tho

tough pilot
maiden cave
#

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

tough pilot
#

Idk what you're looking at

maiden cave
#

I'm looking at the page I linked.

tough pilot
#

But that's not the bis list I use

#

Well you linked a non bis list

shadow tapir
#

That’s not what he’s talking about herm

maiden cave
#

good lord you're slow...

tough pilot
#

Wasn't this entire topic about bis lists lmao

shadow tapir
#

He’s saying the maep values in the shadow panther item lists have greens being better than eye of rend

#

No

maiden cave
#

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

calm temple
#

I mean, you should read his FAQ before taking into account what to use lol

tough pilot
#

Ah yeah idk. I figured most would just click bis and go off of that.

calm temple
#
  1. 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

maiden cave
#

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

calm temple
#

getting to yellow hit cap and white hit cap gives different amounts of AEP

maiden cave
#

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

calm temple
#

sorry meant white hits in general

#

the armor pve page is fine, the weapon pages are concerning

maiden cave
#

"its fine" - it literally ranks green items as equal to eye of rend/mask of unforgiven

#

that's not fine.

sharp grotto
#

It’s still valuable but random hit items after getting the 9% for yellows start to lose value over other stats do they not?

shadow tapir
#

Yes

sharp grotto
#

Yea I can’t seem to get damn eye to replace my mask lol

maiden cave
#

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%

sharp grotto
#

I know this

maiden cave
#

then why say 9% when 90%+ of raid builds have 305 weapon skill

shadow tapir
#

Because it is 9%

sharp grotto
#

Bc it’s 9%

#

Just like you don’t say 1% is what you need

#

Bc you get 5% from talents

maiden cave
#

except it's 6% for the majority of people who raid as combat

shadow tapir
#

You argue for the sake of it

#

Just stop

sharp grotto
#

Then it’s 1% in your logic

shadow tapir
#

its 1% for the majority as ShockD pointed out

sharp grotto
#

Bc raid setups have the 5%

shadow tapir
#

We will make sure to say 1% to everyone in here if they mention any other value

sharp grotto
#

^

shadow tapir
#

Pointless corrections lol

sharp grotto
#

Nickel and diming here

maiden cave
#

except a lot of people who have 305 weapon skill end up misunderstanding and think it's 9%

#

because people don't clarify

shadow tapir
#

And the people who dont know of the weapon skill?

#

Youre just putting arbitrary rules on a social forum lol

maiden cave
#

would learn if you mentioned both!

shadow tapir
#

We do

#

Youre being silly

sharp grotto
#

What is needed if you get Dagger gloves?

shadow tapir
#

Past 305 hit isnt affected

#

Glancing blows are

#

Er

#

Well it is a very minor amount

#

SOmething like .25% per?

sharp grotto
#

Got ya

#

See that’s something I didn’t know

maiden cave
#

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

sharp grotto
#

1%

#

Remember

misty dirge
#

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*

sharp grotto
#

Always wondered that lol I just marked it up as spamming abilities makes MH hit more often

#

🤷🏽‍♂️

misty dirge
#

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

silent burrow
#

Do you mean skipping Sword Spec?

misty dirge
#

yep

#

the 5% proc chance for a white hit isn't all that much

silent burrow
#

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

misty dirge
#

yeah, i get that, but you would be adding that damage somewhere else

maiden cave
#

skipping sword spec is a very bad idea

#

if damage is what you're after

silent burrow
#

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.

shadow tapir
#

You get more poison procs on MH because you SS uses MH hits

#

Which means more procs

sharp grotto
#

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

misty dirge
#

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

sharp grotto
#

Ummm still can use others but your MH will gain benefit of sword spec

silent burrow
#

You'd really gimp your damage doing that, just know that.

sharp grotto
#

Yea

maiden cave
#

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

silent burrow
#

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?

sharp grotto
#

I believe there is a belt maybe? Or bracers I can’t remember fully

misty dirge
#

yeah, I'm getting to where i can get my BiS items, so just speculating and trying to plan ahead. Thanks for the inputs

sharp grotto
#

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

silent burrow
#

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.

sharp grotto
#

Look into belts / bracers... I’m pretty sure I’ve seen them and trashed em.

silent burrow
#

Got any level range?

sharp grotto
#

No sir :/ maybe good WoW stealth effectiveness items or something

silent burrow
sharp grotto
#

Yea my favorite item that came out was the JC panther trinket

#

Guess it’s only boots

silent burrow
#

./dump print(GetHitModifier()) doesn't take stuff like hit from weaponskill into account?

#

Right? Because that stuff depends on targets level?

maiden cave
#

it doesn't, ye

silent burrow
#

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?

maiden cave
#

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

formal cove
#

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%?

maiden cave
#

he means 9% total

#

hit % is still valuable after that because it improves your white damage + raises your crit cap

silent burrow
#

14% hit and 24% crit unbuffed right now as swords.

maiden cave
#

14% is high, but not a problem - as you get raid gear it starts going down too, because it has less hit %

silent burrow
#

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

maiden cave
#

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

silent burrow
#

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.

maiden cave
#

haha, I misunderstood

#

3NS still hot

#

if you get 5pc before p2, that would be sick ;p

silent burrow
#

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?

winged crystal
#

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

silent burrow
#

It's for.. niche stuff, not running around pvp'ing or pve'ing with it.

winged crystal
#

gotcha

sharp grotto
#

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

maiden cave
#

@silent burrow warriors first

#

no quickstrikes for us for a while

#

because its just a bigger upgrade for dps warriors

#

sucks, but probably fair

plucky nymph
#

Nope rolling on it.

#

Too bad.

maiden cave
#

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

silent burrow
#

We're doing rogue/war dps > everything else.

#

After slapping one on mt.

#

Ony head, that is.

plucky nymph
#

Sounds right.

empty salmon
#

Relentless Strike vs last point in Oppurtunity?

#

as combat daggers*

plucky nymph
#

Both?

empty salmon
#

You cannot get both 🙂

plucky nymph
empty salmon
#

3/5 lethality

#

oof

plucky nymph
#

4% BS+Ambush DMG vs 6% BS DMG

#

and SS if you find yourself in that position.

wraith oracle
#

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

shadow tapir
#

Classic rogue disc, Shadowpanther

plucky nymph
#

Classic wowhead guides are good.

wraith oracle
#

Where would I be able to find a link to the classic rogue disc?

shadow tapir
wraith oracle
#

Thank you all of you for your help. It's very appreciated

plucky nymph
#

NP

#

OPP > Lethality

702 to 699 DPS

#

It's not much, but it's there.

pale lark
#

that dire maul though

plucky nymph
#

yeboi

pale lark
#

inb4 never getting ring

plucky nymph
#

,<

sharp grotto
#

Is ruthlessness > murder ?

plucky nymph
#

For what spec?

sharp grotto
#

You showed that dag spec

hushed laurel
#

DM hype, time to farm for quel 5ever

plucky nymph
#

Will load the sheet and see, I assume so otherwise the site would have changed.

sharp grotto
#

Guess I’m MC murder is Garbo lol but anywhere else 2% seems good but prob not lol

plucky nymph
#

Murder is very bad in MC yeah.

#

Again, requires the right target.

#

Otherwise you go down to ~705

sharp grotto
#

So still higher? Even if not right mob type?

#

Or did I read that wrong

plucky nymph
#

Not by an amount that matters.

sharp grotto
#

Yea I was sayin no reason to spec out of murder lol

#

For me

#

Since 5g is all I have haha... damn epic mount

plucky nymph
#

Yeah you're gonna do something to those types eventually.

#

and it's a LOT of damage.

exotic trellis
#

And it’s 2 talents points

#

And it’s fucking molten core

plucky nymph
#

Yeah.

#

The raids are a joke.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

exotic trellis
#

And also murder on onyxia so like 50% of the raid content it works on

plucky nymph
#

Dagger on ONY is even funnier considering your threat management requirements there.

exotic trellis
#

Oh of you just pulling threat and dying

#

Even with vanish

plucky nymph
#

Vanish seems fine now?

exotic trellis
#

It’s gonna be so weird

plucky nymph
#

I've had it fully drop combat multiple times since the bug.

exotic trellis
#

I might just hold up and wait for 5 sunders before going ham

plucky nymph
#

You don't DPS unless the last 15 seconds of P1 anyway.

#

and then stand around managing whelps and not getting roasted.

#

unless == until

exotic trellis
#

Idk shit about classic raiding

plucky nymph
#

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

sharp grotto
#

those rings from tribute runs will be nasty

plucky nymph
#

To begin with, for sure.

exotic trellis
#

I wish DM had a good mainhand dagger

plucky nymph
#

You get Distracting Dagger though > _>

exotic trellis
#

Yea but my options for mainhand are memestriker, memeseeker, and barman’s

plucky nymph
#

P E R I T I O N S B L A A A A D E

#

But hey Barman's is good.

exotic trellis
#

I fucking don’t want to use barmans

#

It’s a fucking bottle

#

A BOTTLE

maiden cave
#
[9:05 PM] Crazy "2 Jointz” Muffin: Even with vanish``` never had that happen to me
plucky nymph
#

It's got a bunch of pointy bits.

maiden cave
#

just vanish p3 onyxia, wait for tank to get it, go all out after

plucky nymph
#

That's nice that it didn't, for a few hours that one day Vanish didn't drop threat just combat.

signal ember
#

I just pop evasion and keep hitting the boss

plucky nymph
#

Just cleave the raid :3

maiden cave
#

thats fine too if you're in the right spot

plucky nymph
#

Their problem not yours.

signal ember
#

Tell the tank to aggro harder

maiden cave
#

rogue tanks are awesome on Onyxia, that's how I got my Vis'kag

plucky nymph
#

WHY'D WE GIVE YOU ALL THAT GEAR EH?!

#

THRAT MOAR

maiden cave
#

p1 is sketchy as fuck threat-wise, but p3 is easy once its on a tank

#

can go ham then

plucky nymph
#

Ye.

#

Once threat is settled you can just be an idiot and be fine.

willow kayak
#

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?

maiden cave
#

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

plucky nymph
#

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?

exotic trellis
#

I’m grabbing devilsaur because apparently the time I have for classic is way less than I thought

plucky nymph
#

Depends on your luck and stuff as well.

exotic trellis
#

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

willow kayak
#

@maiden cave Idk did i grab it too early :/

maiden cave
#

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?

willow kayak
#

Should I drop it?

maiden cave
#

how high is it?

willow kayak
#

i spent about 15g to level it to 160

#

so far

maiden cave
#

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

willow kayak
#

Isnt it super hard to get devilsaur skins because of the amount of people trying to farm it?

maiden cave
#

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

willow kayak
#

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

maiden cave
#

again, your choice, just saying what I did :c can keep it too and drop skinning, but shrug

#

sure

crisp briar
#

is there a pre-bis list with diremaul gear included? now that blizz said that's gonna be open next week

maiden cave
#

it doesnt change much

#

its just bracers + rings

#

and potentially some +dagger gear if you're dagger

vocal hornet
#

there are some +dagger mods right?

#

apparently I only read the first 20% and last 20%

sharp grotto
#

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

maiden cave
#

F

#

that's an odd choice, rogues are good dmg

exotic trellis
#

?????

#

It’s fucking MC and ony

#

They have shady shit going on

#

One of the rogues or one of the officers wants rogue loot

vestal spruce
#

Following the ShockD saga casually, it seems very apparent his guild does not like him much

#

With the context provided

exotic trellis
#

Or that they don’t like him

vestal spruce

Which is a shame

exotic trellis
#

Find a new guild immediately

The Shockd saga

hidden basin
#

what is better argent dawn or thrash blade for general use?

exotic trellis
#

Thrash I say.

hidden basin
#

5 dps increase vs extra attack on chance

#

yeah i thought thrash as well

#

what about cadavarous belt vs vosh'gajin strand?

plucky nymph
#

There are charts in the pins.

maiden cave
#

@hidden basin vosh is pretty crap

#

+dodge is yuck

hidden basin

Wouldnt you just us DS set and eye?

sharp grotto

worldly juniper
#

anyoneknow if the new MC/Ony BiS has changed with the 6% hit stuff

sharp grotto
#

@shadow tapir you think its worth breaking the DS to get 6 pc?

shadow tapir
#

I get what ur saying

#

No I dont think so but cant say for certain

sharp grotto
#

wish i had a way to sim them loll

shadow tapir
#

shadow tapir

Rogue classic disc has a channel for dps spreadsheet, just download it and use the site

#

Apparently the site is kinda rough

sharp grotto
#

you got the classic disc?

#

sry for buggin ya

shadow tapir

It works in Google Sheets just fine.

signal ember
#

Good $$$

dry birch
#

last time I imported it, many of the talent cells weren't working properly. i'll check again

plucky nymph
#

Did you make the calculation changes?

dry birch
#

yeah 😦

#

I get "Invalid:
Input must fall within specified range" when attempting to change things. like AR to 0, instead of 1

plucky nymph
#

It breaks for me from time to time and just changing shit/refreshing it seems to work eventually.

dry birch
#

xD

#

I just wish they had their shit together like the warriors do, in fight club

plucky nymph
#

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.

sharp grotto

yea i cant gfet the damn sheet to work lol

D A G G E R S

#

distracting dagger with DM release so

sharp grotto
#

do we need that +6 dagger?

#

would the AP and shit be better from scraping?

exotic trellis
#

distracting's better pre raid

sharp grotto
#

bc of the +6?

exotic trellis
#

i think its +4

#

and even then its still better

#

glancing goes from 85% to 95%

random kraken
#

it's +6 according to atlasloot

sharp grotto
#

I will just get ACLG instead of that

#

And use scraper

exotic trellis
#

ACLG is in raid

#

distracting is pre raid

@shadow tapir nice price!

So is LBRS a good farm? Or should go somewhere else?

#

Pick pocket wise

What about some other dungeon farm if you don't want to respec subtlety?

#

like RFD or SM?

@stoic cairn thats more gold than I have on my main on retail.

#

you rich

hidden basin
#

is fiery weapon OK for rogue?
instead of crusader as an alternative because i don't want to put crusader on thrash blade

plucky nymph
#

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

hidden basin
#

looking good nice to see solid economic alternatives

#

thanks for feedback

plucky nymph

This reminds me to get it on my Mirah's Song for when I eventually have to use that damned thing again.

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?

plucky nymph

Nope, maybe some dagger build?

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

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

farm it when still levelig

anyone know if instant poison counts as a spell, as far as spellcrit and hit are concerned?

shadow tapir

Fairly certain it does, yes

#

Because even at hit cap it misses

i might use the mara sword, with spell crit as a crutch

the spell crit one?

#

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.

shadow tapir
#

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

wicked aspen
#

oh yea my main hand is not that good

#

thanks

radiant steeple
#

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?

maiden cave
#

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

thorn vector
#

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.

versed cedar
#

but calculating if its a gain or not is difficult :/

maiden cave
#

shouldn't overthink it that much, hit % remains a fine stat regardless

sharp grotto
#

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

i want a raptor but same situation haha

Yah, getting a cross race mount is real expebsive

i will probably just wait for the pvp mounts

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.

plucky nymph
#

No.

#

@shadow tapir WOOOOO

shadow tapir
#

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.

carmine lichen
#

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.

winged crystal
#

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

carmine lichen
#

That's fair

#

Do you know what would be the best talents to pick up for a sub build then?

exotic trellis
#

Just play combat daggers in PvP

I am me.

some rogue did that to me when I was picking up a quest item spawn

then I chased and killed him

any good resources or addon for hit and crit calc?

plucky nymph
#

Stat calcs are fucked in game, countem up or look @ your attack icon for crit.

formal cove
#

Did you go off a guide for cooking

plucky nymph
#

Yeah but it was just extremely basic stuff.

#

Like I would look for the cheapest stuff to make and then make it.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

shadow tapir
#

I should do that

#

Probably makes good money if you buy cheap

plucky nymph
#

There were some items that turned over to vendor fine, but it would have to be really low level stuff or very heavily farmed.

pale lark

Wait is that u in the video Noobe

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

plucky nymph
#

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.

maiden cave
#

uhh

sharp grotto
#

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

maiden cave
#

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

plucky nymph
#

I've no DS.

sharp grotto
#

What you run now miz

plucky nymph
#

and even manually fixing the aura buff still made me "gain" 1% hit by removing Blackcrow.

#

Same shit, nothing drops.

sharp grotto
#

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

plucky nymph
#

Cad won't drop 😐

sharp grotto
#

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

plucky nymph
#

I will test 3-4 different stat displays in a moment.

#

THESE SPRITE DARTER AREN'T KILLING THEMSELVES.

we've had 2-3 weeks of nearly zero rogue loot in MC

all the rogues being sneaky going dagger spec to get prio on dagger

#

cant do that cuz got viskagg lel

plucky nymph
#

Yeah spiking from 0 to 100 is O _O

#

hmmm

#

requires a reload to "fix"

#

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.

sharp grotto
#

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

maiden cave
#

gotta get that bonescraper, Lez

#

or distracting dagger next week ;o

plucky nymph
#

heeeeeeeck yeah distracting dagger

pale lark
#

huh

#

why is your 6% hit weird

#

you are combat no?

plucky nymph
#

Naked?

pale lark
#

precision and wep expertise

plucky nymph
#

Nah. Because I can then refresh the window and have 5%.

pale lark
#

ohy

plucky nymph
#

Some addons have sticky hit stat calc for some reason.

pale lark
#

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

plucky nymph
#

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;

#

That's right

#

That's wrong.

#

That's right.

sharp grotto
#

i use dejacharacter stats

#

it seems to be right

#

all the time

plucky nymph
#

You can do the above if you have Blackcrow.

pale lark
#

y i use deja aswell

plucky nymph
#

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 > _>

pale lark
#

if u did have 11% hit though

#

kek

#

if it was legit

plucky nymph
#

That was with some extended character stats thing or something.

pale lark
#

wouldnt be bad to be around 8-9 anyway most of the time

plucky nymph
#

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.

shadow tapir
#

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

plucky nymph
#

Gnomish to cap, reroll to cap for Goblin.

shadow tapir
#

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

plucky nymph

terse goblet
#

Is it worth it breaking the devilsaur set to use core leather gloves if i'm daggers?

drowsy phoenix
#

honestly I have no clue how 2% hit is in comparison to +5 daggers lol

plucky nymph
terse goblet
#

Yeah that's the issue i'm having.
No idea how 2% hits compares to +5 daggers

plucky nymph
#

+5 daggers is worth 2% hit if it's the first 5 added weapon skill.

terse goblet
#

so assuming i have no other +5 to daggers it's worth?

plucky nymph
#

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.

drowsy phoenix
#

so <= 10 under is the suppression range and not 15?

shadow tapir
#

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

terse goblet
#

What are the benefits to going over 305? if any

shadow tapir
#

Little bit of hit, removes some glancing blow damage

#

Or rather removes some glancing blow deduction to your hits

plucky nymph
#

308 reduces the Glancing Blow damage reduction penalty to 5%.

terse goblet
#

so does picking up the belt from DM (+5 daggers) and core gloves become less value?
Should i just stick with core gloves

shadow tapir
#

Pretty sure you can remove them altogether

#

not positive though

drowsy phoenix
#

it's 2% hit vs +10 proficiency at this point

#

although idk the stats on the belt

plucky nymph
#

General Math

10 Agility = 10 Stamina = 20 Strength = 20 Attack Power = 1% Crit
drowsy phoenix
#

guess it's close to cloudrunner, I cant figure out exact numbers with the hit stacking to 305/310

plucky nymph
#

Don't worry about it after 305, IMO.

terse goblet
#

@plucky nymph what's the mod you're using that flags items as p1 raid bis

#

odd siren
#

Any arguments either way for Nightslayer wrists vs DM ones?

#

theyre absurdly close dps wise, is the stam worth wearing?

maiden cave
#

@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

odd siren
#

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

maiden cave
#

definitely value Sta, but also just a lot more careful on trash mobs lately, don't want to lose wbuffs ;p

main mesa
#

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

maiden cave
#

@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.

main mesa
#

I see, i thought that i better look for crit chance/agi/atck pow gear if i alrdy have 9% hit cap

maiden cave
#

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

sharp grotto
#

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

marble dune
#

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..

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 ?

plucky nymph
#

OH poison procs aren't the end of the world.

#

Go get Mirah's Song though.

bronze bough
#

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

civic crest
#

Is hoj that good for dagger rogues too? Or just really good for sword rogues

shadow tapir
#

Should be similarly good since it’s a flat chance to proc

formal cove
#

Think its better for swords cause sword specialization talent

tough pilot
#

is good for daggers as well, especially since there arent any better trinkets in p1

shadow tapir
#

Can it proc off of sword spec procs?

#

Would make sense its better for swords then yeah.

fair carbon
#

It can proc off any weapon swing

shadow tapir
#

Hmm I thought they prevented weird infinite procs like that. Might have just been windfury though

fair carbon
#

Windfury can proc itself

shadow tapir
#

It can but it was nerfed at the patch classic is based

lilac pawn
#

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

#

?

signal ember
#

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.

plucky nymph
#

Free basically, and very good.

signal ember
#

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.

civic crest
#

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

old stone
#

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

wraith parcel
#

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

fair carbon
#

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

shadow tapir

Damage wise probably cloudrunner

#

But you lose 14 stam

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 🙂

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

maiden cave
#

@molten grail don't agree

molten grail
#

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

shadow tapir
#

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?

#

Figure Id open with Ambush a lot so DD could be less useful

tough pilot
#

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.

fringe spindle
#

herm

tough pilot
#

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.

shadow tapir
#

For pvp? Dont think its that important

#

Imp Sprint is definitely the big loss there

tough pilot
#

I mean would you like to hit more white hits?

shadow tapir
#

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

There is no reason to not have the fifth point in OH damage, instead of Sprint CD reduction, or removing impairment effects (LOL)

imp sprint is way more valuable

#

im guessing you dont play on a pvp server

plucky nymph
#

The minor increase in OH damage will never be seen /shrug

Even for PVE breaking nets and shit is worth it.

100%. so many nets and novas etc. imp sprint is amazing

#

(LOL)

marble dune
#

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?

dense aspen
#

I'm considering dropping Herb for Enchanting just for the DE mats

#

The competition picking herbs is rife and most are worthless

spark raptor
#

Enchanting is decent if youre lazy

dense aspen
#

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

spark raptor
#

Did you try ghost mushrooms in maraudon?

dense aspen
#

I've seen the Mara Ghost Shroom farms but at least DEing I can do while farming BiS/Other gear

spark raptor
#

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.

maiden cave
#

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

So for Classic PvP, i'm stuck between dwarf or gnome (Alliance)

#

Any thoughts?

cyan cliff

Dwarf

tough pilot
#

Dwarf and it's not even close.

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 🙂

plucky nymph
#

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.

ember verge
#

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)

plucky nymph
#

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.

sharp grotto
#

I’m horse but if I was alliance I would be gnome 100%... roots and slows too strong

red badger
#

When I get mirah's blade should I still mainhand thrash blade with that in the oh? or vice versa

maiden cave
#

thrash + mirah, yup, thrash MH

dense aspen
#

Thrash and mirah until the end of time

#

Getting depressing now!

minor sandal
#

SC4 piece ( boots, belt, wrist, helm ) vs mask/eye, cloudrunner, dread wolf boots and deepfury bracers?

split ore
#

Whichever is easiest to get tbh

minor sandal
#

But i have both

#

so i was just thinking

fathom bloom
#

Anyone know how to make a macro for casting Blood Fury and Blade Flurry at the same time?

gritty goblet
#

/cast blood fury /cast blade flurry

#

ecks dee

stable wave
#

probably a stupid question. if im playing swords but get a dagger with better dps, is it worth putting it in OH?

gritty goblet
#

nope

#

i mean it depends on how better

#

but the difference should be really significant

#

for the dagger to be better

stable wave
#

so i got a 18.9 dps sword , a 13,9 dps one and a 17.7 dps dagger (lv 30 gear)

gritty goblet
#

it doesn't matter then since you don't have sword specialization

#

so use a staff in the oh for all you care

stable wave
#

ok, thanks

shadow tapir
#

Wonder if two geared rogues could two man General Angerforge and sell HoJ drops

dense aspen
#

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

shadow tapir
#

Yeah true about the drop rate

shadow tapir
#

Dagger options are so slim in this phase

drowsy phoenix
#

perdy felstriker just rip it

shadow tapir
#

lol i wish

exotic trellis
#

perdy CHT

shadow tapir
#

Not really raiding unfortunately

#

Maybe will find a pug one day

#

Shadowfoot stabber/Bonescraper might be decent

exotic trellis
#

Barman's/Bonescraper

#

or Barman's/Distracging

shadow tapir
#

I think Barman's is too big of a liability in pvp

#

All Im worried about

exotic trellis
#

then drop 600g on a heartseeker

#

LUL

shadow tapir
#

Yep lol

#

Guess Hemo sword is the best option til I get Perd

manic hound
#

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?

shadow tapir
#

Not sure but I assume its counting you as attacking them. Pretty annoying.

plucky nymph
#

You have to "target" the thing you are distracting.

manic hound
#

Interesting! Thank you for confirming!

exotic trellis
#

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

drowsy phoenix
#

BF is a single-target short-range AoE spell

#

therefore you get to keep combo points

shadow tapir
#

If the target you have CP on is in the Distract then you dont lose CPs

#

is odd

maiden cave
#

I lost combo points using Iron Grenade on another pack of mobs while focusing one (that didn't get naded) too

#

kinda annoying, heh

heavy sage
#

@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?

maiden cave
#

@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)

radiant yew
#

I do have molten core pieces, just that i havent gotten any decent chests yet.

radiant yew
#

Thank you tho @maiden cave

tall current
#

How long is the Devilsaur set BiS for? Is it worth buying if I'm raiding already?

calm temple
#

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

drowsy flare
#

t1gloves+t2legs beat devilsaur out, but not by much

maiden cave
#

yeah its only when you have both that devilsaur loses

ocean parrot
#

Is a fast dagger in off hand bad?

signal ember
#

Not at all

#

You ideally want a fast OH with high dps on it

ocean parrot
#

Perfect thank you

clever kayak
#

Keep in mind if you are sword spec you lose some dps tho

#

Because your offhand won't proc mainhand double strikes

drowsy phoenix
#

I thought OH could only proc OH strikes

tall current
#

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

plucky nymph
#

Gutgore has like TWICE the bottom end...

tall current
#

13dps more

#

but 22 less AP

maiden cave
#

its a massive upgrade for you

#

for mainhand

wraith parcel
#

14 AP = 1 wdps

sharp grotto
#

how id OH dmg calculated? do we need more hit for it to be better or how does it work really

tall current
#

It'd be for my OH. i have Ironfoe in my MH (lol)

plucky nymph
#

wtfareyoudoing...

tall current
#

Dinged 60 yday. Gotta go with what I get, right? 🙂

fair carbon
#

Thrash Mirah’s

#

Should have had that by 60 already

plucky nymph
#

Yep.

hushed laurel
#

Wonder if anyone else needed ironfoe in the group PepeHands1

tall current
#

nope. FFA roll

robust moon
#

what's the hard hit cap for humans?

#

when hit is becoming useless?

maiden cave
#

@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

robust moon
#

so extra hit rating is kinda always useful?

maiden cave
#

sure, it improves your white dmg + raises your crit cap, bu don't take it over an equal amount of crit %

#

balance your stats

robust moon
#

im just thinking if its worth buying devilsaur set

#

(crafting)

exotic trellis
#

its pre bis

robust moon
#

ikr

exotic trellis
#

so like

maiden cave
#

its the best set before you start raiding - whether you think thats worth the gold is up to you

exotic trellis
#

and you can get it whilst levelling

#

its only like 200g on my server

maiden cave
#

and it needs both BF pants + NS gloves to replace (1 piece is not enough)

exotic trellis
#

100% worth it

robust moon
#

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

maiden cave
#

yeah dont bother for now then

#

thats nuts

shadow tapir
#

Hows shadowfoot stabber as a MH for a pvp dagger build?

#

I know its no heartseeker but only 30g

robust moon
#

does anyone know Shadowcraft 6set bonus proc rate?

plucky nymph
#

Skip Devilsaur, ezpz

robust moon
#

nah, I'm gonna get it as soon as devilsaur leather prices go down

#

all im missing is just 14x leather

plucky nymph
#

Just don't, there's not point, you don't need 4pct hit.

shadow tapir
#

Does respecing cost cap?

plucky nymph
#

50g I think.

#

or 100, whoknows

shadow tapir
#

ugh

robust moon
#

25g afaik

#

is cap

plucky nymph
