The tourney also has strict rules that gut locks.
There is a reason sl locks were banned in duel tournaments on ps'ers.
@real surge yes but only if you have a good group. Otherwise it's not that good. And most don't want rogues since they want aoe dps classes.
Killing the demon
So yes, in essence its the pylons, since you have to destroy the pylons to kill the demon
Hey guys , what do you think is better for pve , the t0 set ( for the energy procc ) or blue / t1 items ? I play dagger with ragi and major dagger
major (domo) dagger 
raggi
So with weapon swing timers, you should press sinister strike just when mainhand timer is about to run out?
to uptimize sword specialization?
You should probably just not use one and focus on not dying.
Otherwise, you would want to use Sinister Strike as near to the BEGINNING of your swing timer as you can, not the end.
ok thanks @plucky nymph
no death in two mc runs, so i think my positioning is fine 🙂 just want to optimize the dmg
well on bosses atleast
😄
😛
AS ONE SHOULD
When you say near, its when it starts counting down on weapon main swing?
Or just before
As near as you can to the BEGINNING of the swing.
ok
The end of the timer doesn't count as the beginning.
And why is this, is this to proc more main hand sword spec?
Is so that you're not resetting your swing timer at the END of the swing before you attack, forcing you to wait another X seconds.
Thanks 🙂
Hey guys, do you have any guides or resources for Dagger Rogue in Classic?
In regards to? Stabbing? Gearing?
spec and gearing I suppose. I've seen guides that all say different enchants and different points put into assassination tree
Well I imagine they are referencing different things, follow the Classic Wowhead Guide.
Though make sure to read the little descriptions under the trees.
@spare blaze if you're going dagger get 6pc SC, wowhead is pretty outdated on a lot of things (I am pretty sure they get the amount of hit % and what weapon skill does wrong)
Their Phase 1 BiS lists are also wack.
What do you guys do btw when done with BiS. I've gotten all my items from dungeons now and non raid stuff
I want to add on the dagger spec thing. I’ve been playing around with the spreadsheet and either I’m doing something wrong. Or the distraction dagger in offhand is super good. I’ve been trying different dagger in offhand like the sunrazor boe. But the distraction one outshines it by far. It doesn’t say that on wowhead
Also. The 6/8 Shadowcraft + 2/2 devilsaur is a lot better. It’s even outshining full t1
6/8 Shadowcraft+ 2 t2 seems to be bis
uhhuh
The spreadsheet seems to value +weapon skill WAY MORE than it should.
Even past 310
I really wonder how accurate it is. Because I’m treating it as my bible right now on gearing
I am just following the pinned website.
The spreadsheet is good at showing small upgrade and showing that tier bonuses are good.
as well as weapons being a huge upgrade usually
I’ve only done major domo right now where we killed all of them one by one and I literally outdpsd everyone there and most people in my raid have epics. I’m testing it again Wednesday where we start fresh
Gear doesn't really make up for poor play.
and combat daggers are better than swords if you have a Perditions.
I’m playing assassin
The difference on the sheet was 6 dps so I went with a spec that seems more fun to me
Sub is just bad
For PVE yeah SUB is wack outside of the top few talents.
where do you guys gank or pvp? im bored
Blackrock mountain
DM
but if you wanna be a real dick, gank people farming eye of shadows at dark whisper gorge in winter spring
it’s a brutal 10-15 minute run back
a lot of ppl rather spirit Rez
lol
Opinions on a Prep/CB dagger build? No PvP guide seems to cover it, so I suppose it's just inferior? I could go combat daggers, but CB is just too strong.
I've been wondering about the same thing, it looks really good in pvp in concept
at the very least, i haven't checked out a video guide for it yet
also wondering on the general worth of master of deception
You cant get Imp Sprint with CB/Prep is the big problem
think we call that one a free action potion then
You gonan drink a free action everytime you fight a mage tho?
gotta do what it takes
good ol fap
do you guys find a certain amount of points on MoD to be necessary?
Necessary, no.
Really comes down to dagger vs not dagger build whether u grab it or not
which build do you grab it with? I've also considered putting only 3 points into it
Im sure theres variations. Ive mostly seen MoD with hemo builds since they have no reason to grab Opportunity
And Opportunity is big for dagger prep build
maybe i could drop elusiveness?
i suppose this is starting to reach personal preference levels, though.
so you're saying i shouldn't grab hemo with a dagger build, though?
2 or 3 in serrated?
The damage that Hemo says is an average of your weapon's damage
So its basically a Sinister Strike
definitely get hemo

unless thats daggers
But if your dagger build that just doesn’t seem right
but that doesnt look like daggers lol
Not really a reason to get Serrated blades with daggers
^
yeah that's not a dagger build
Missing ambush and backstab
It’s like a 21/8/22
A content database for world of warcraft classic
this is the dagger spec im going to be running when p3 comes out
Yea depends if you want imp sprint or not
can drop imp sprint for cb if you really want it but
so cold blood isn't worth on a dagger build?
Yeah ive been playing that one, is fun
Either that or CB take your pick lol
Just think 30% natural crit + 45% from talents lol
you dont even really need the cb
Yea, honestly a ambush / vanish ambush / prep ambush
i feel like cb really only makes sense for swords
cuz the evis does all your damage as swords
but the cp generators do your damage as daggers
it's fun to swifty oneshot people with fat ass 2500 eviscerates but imp sprint daggers is a much more versatile playstyle
evis is mostly static damage, no?
which i figured was the real logic for CB daggers
Wouldn’t it be better to drop points in remorseless or and imp evi to take points into murder?
Especially if you’re not planning on killing people with evi
Honestly I don’t think I’d take remorseless and just go for murder. 2% isnt a whole lot. But it’s 4% when you Crit I guess
XD
for pvp 2% isn't great
I'm considering a scuffed hemo/combat build since MC is faceroll and I'll only lose 33 DPS according to the spreadsheet. anything you guys would change here? https://classic.wowhead.com/talent-calc/rogue/-30300520200501502-500253000330101
Youll lose significantly more than 33 dps. Whats the fight duration in the sheet?
also check with your raid leader about having the hemo debuff for raiding
Just spec sinister strike and be stealthy
well ok I checked 3 min fight, it's 50-60 dps on 1 min which is rare for my guild
Put 2 points into imp sinister and 1 into dodge and you’ll be fine (in case your raid leader doesn’t allow hemo in raids)
yeah I'll swap around if it's an issue. thanks
Working on my pre-bis gear as a combat dagger rogue, currently got shadowfoot stabber MH and bonescraper OH.
Unsure what my pre-bis MH dagger is (that's feasable to grind) but would Distracting Dagger be my OH pre-bis? Saw a rogue using that as OH with core tooth dagger thing as MH
https://classic.wowhead.com/item=18392/distracting-dagger
https://classic.wowhead.com/guides/rogue-dps-gear-bis-classic-wow
This bis list shows my pre-bis daggers as felstriker & heartseeker as MH pre-bis and alcor's runrazor as OH but all three of those daggers are expensive/unrealistic to get. Alcors is boe world drop, striker is 0.2% droprate and the seeker is expensive af to craft. For pre-bis I'm not looking to invest the same time I would invest in getting t1+ items
@desert swift I mean if you're in a casual guild that doesn't care if you're pre bis or not, then just wait for a rng boss drop. I've only seen one perd blade drop out of the endless mc runs I've done since launch so good luck. Investing time in to pre bis is part of the game. Hell our guild has a 10prebis requirement, but we're also not casual.
i guess it's a semi-casual guild? im looking to do all raids as often as possible as a core raider in the guild so...
the main things i wanna know are:
Is there a pre-bis MH dagger that isn't below 1% droprate that's worth getting?
If not I can grind out UBRS runs for Felstriker which also appears to be my best shot at Alcor's Sunrazor
Is there a pre-bis OH dagger that isn't below 1% droprate? Can get Distracting Dagger (linked above) @ 18% easily enough but is there anything better for OH that isn't as rare as Alcors'?
when leveling swords is it best to have very fast OF or a slow one also and if a faster OF sword is better would a dagger be even better?
Rule of thumb: you want faster weapons in the OH so your poison procs more often
as far as mixing and matching, whatever is better dps for you ig
but faster weapon in OH is what you want
thank you
Cht is not a good MH. I would use distracting until cht for OH
as an offtopic, could i get standard engineering to like 260 and then just learn all the gnomish recipes i want or do i gotta lvl gnomish separately? if anyone knows
there's no point going distracting over bonescraper if you have mugger's belt though
Usb the bis list on wowhead. To my opinion is not correct for dagger. 6/8 Shadowcraft +2/2 devilsaur works a lot better for me. Distraction dagger offhand and I got this random dagger from scholo gargoyle boss and I do really well in my raid
I'm not following that one exactly atm anyway with my gear setup, though admittedly pretty closely
And @tropic karma that belt would be nice but i have cloudrunner girdle and with distracting dagger and my +5 daggers from my spec im already 311 dagger skill
guys given that HoJ is apparently bugged, is the Dire Maul 2% hit trinket better?
How does this look for a PvP Dagger spec?
I have been looking at my HoJ performance for a while now and it seems that there are some issues with this trinket and Dual wielding. The proc rate is very, very low(as low as 0.07% after 1000s of swings). The Damage of the extra attack is very very low. I have tested thi...
I can see that, keep using it.
@steep quartz IMp SnD is useless in a pvp spec. MoD is also probably not worth the points. Improved gouge is huge and not having imp sprint is going to get you killed against mages.
@steep quartz uhh, you want imp backstab
if you go 21/8/22 or you go the imp sprint variant (without CB) is whatever, both are good
but that build is not good
just use free action potion you dont need improved sprint and mages cant do anything
https://classicdb.ch/?talent#fhxbRgzZGcZVMjcc0k is a 21/8/22 variant that vek ran in the duel tourney
A content database for world of warcraft classic
oh dear
I don’t think just using a potion is a reasonable tactic lol
Every time you fight a mage?
if gold isn't an issue then its reliable
Because when pvp releases those potions are going to get expensive
If thats what you want I suppose, Id rather just grab a talent
vanilla pvp relies heavily on consumables, but sure. whatever feels right
we use so many consumables anyway what is one more
But even Vek suggests Imp Sprint in his pvp dagger build. Just dont think CB is worth it
To each their own I suppose
that's an open world PvP build, its fine to use either
I mean since you're such a fan of vek, he played CB in the 1v1 tourney
not imp sprint
;p
I'm not a fan, never watch him. You brought him up.
1v1 tourney is pretty specific, guess the situation would need to be specified too
1v1 dueling tourny is also degenerate with arbitrary rules, so... fuckit.
lol
@shadow tapir @maiden cave @plucky nymph My thinking for Imp SnD was exclusively to make raids a little easier. That is one of my only points not pvp focused.
I am also a gnome so Imp Sprint is much less of a big deal w/ escape artist
Yeah just don't fight people without your CDs 😛
was my spec incase its 2 far up
Problem with rogue is our talents are very specified to pvp or pve, trying to balance both hurts
You can always do that but generally in classic when you start making a pvp build with a little pve, you end up just gimping both
Gnome is a good point with Imp Sprint
@steep quartz your spec has no imp backstab
Yeah its legit just one point for Imp SnD
how is that even a spec
I mean I was planning on doing prep/CB just for the crits, I just dont think its as flexible
But even so MoD, no imp backstab, no gouge isnt great
Yeah to be honest im also doing the BRD gold farm so MoD is geared for that
go 21/8/22 or the imp sprint variant
I totally agree that getting rid of that for imp backstab will be the play
or don't bother
Imp Sprint isnt great on a gnome imo
So this isnt a pvp dagger spec, its a mish mash of pve, pvp and pick pocket specs
I wouldnt call one point a mash of pve lol
I would because youre giving up some huge stuff
and you can pick BRD mobs from in front of them at 60 without MoD
Honestly that one point in Imp SnD normally goes to 1 point in expose armor
which I dont see as a big loss
Unless im missing something?
Right but I need that point in assass to get CB anyway
Its not like I can trade that point for Gouge or BS
oh my god
You can play it however you want, I just dont think youre going to be good at anything
thats heightened senses tawney ;p
ty lol
(and yes you'd drop that)
Okay I feel you
I actually fucked up the Backstab thing
forgot that was in combat like a tard
With rogue talents you really want to go full pve or full pvp. Any combination of the 2 makes you inferior in both
there's a reason I linked you 21/8/22 so you could look at it for inspiration, genesis ;c
its the classicdb link
Missing dirty deeds
A content database for world of warcraft classic
the one Hanbi is talking about
Pretty close though
ah okay so lose one in camo
Well thank god I got both of my elven rings last night 
Apparently there was some wack shit that happened to Tributes
Gz man
Is the BRD pickpocket run our best option as rogue?
I like to farm Hearthglen tbh. Lots to pickpocket, can solo 56 elites for good money and runecloth, 3 chests constantly respawning, rich thorium veins
hard to say honestly, but I have an obscene amount of gold and farming there has helped. 30 maybe?
Like it swings. You get a lot of runecloth there which gives some gold, you get greens from the eliets and chests which I tend to disenchant but you sometimes get a nice one worth selling or a bag that goes for 20+g, in 1 hour you tend to see 4 RTVs which might give you an arcane crystal, lots to pickpocket. Its got it all.
#Money
Nice dude
Ive been doing the BRD one and it was about the same id guess
I bought like 10k runecloth so I could use the epic tiger as a gnome lolol
I probably can afford the runecloth but I CBA spending days and hours buying it up, asking for CoDs etc.
are you playing daggers or swords Lyuben?
daggers atm due to being dwarf and all other rogues in guild human
ahh
so i avarage out about 45 g a hour brd pickpocketing
is there anything faster a rogue could do?
that's not contested
Yeah farm MC trash.
What's a good spec to run for endgame PVP
i play with preperation, and the talent in combat called endurance which decreases sprint cooldown
and spam prep
whenever off cooldown
and have swifty stop watch
and a pair of boots that give increase stealth levels
and no lucky drops
tbh a 100% lucky hour with no deaths could spike up to 60+ gold a hour
but that requires zero resist and goodluck with that
Its like 3 silver a pick lol
yeah and takes about like 1 sec to pick
thats 1500 picks in an hour
and then + whatever u get
Ill give it another try
like hickory pipe
but like
im not killing any bosses at all
i just pickpocket all mobs on the way to arena pick pocket thru arena over to loregrain then back
towards angerforge
jump out of window
pick pocket monsters down there
gonna test if only doing Arena and grim guzzler pickpocket is more gold per hour
but im not sure
if it is
only thing that kinda gimps the gp/hour is opening those lockboxes
and uhh on my server everything except major healing potions are vendor value
if lucky 1 gold a stack of blinding powder but it barely happens
yeah I do BRD pickpocket and get about the same
Ive farmed about 3k gold in BRD so I wouldnt say its just lucky. Plus luck doesnt have much to do with it since you mostly get vendor trash.
how much do a tebuu blazing go for
you guys recon+
?
i mean it's a big bonus if it ever drops from these heavy junkboxes
One on record in the US and was listed for 4800g and went down to 4500g
Cant be sure it sold though
Ive done a ton of BRD pickpocketing and have gotten about 6 greens lol
feelsbad when garr dispels your dm buffs

Idk if this is included anywhere, but should combat dagger rogues be running both distracting dagger and mugger's belt in absence of corehound gloves over lets say.. instead of bonescraper
the warrior
@split ore You need to be 305 weapon skill, 308 is a bit of a soft-cap for gaining anything from weapon skill.
the hunter
305 will be achieved via talents at the minimum 😮
I have both the mugger belt and the distracting dagger
Just wondering if a bonescraper would be better
It would be better if you are over 308 with Bonescraper equipped.
Once you get Aged Core Leather Gloves that other stuff stops being a thing to consider.
I've got ACLGs and a darrowspike for OH, but no good MH dagger yet
has anyone had any success with 2man stealth tribute runs?
got a ring from a resto and a feral druid that duo'd it
my buddy and i have been trying for 2 days to get it down
but gordok is just a fuck fest
I remember reading striking is the go to for pve daggers over crusader. Is this true?
Hi, now I have Preparation/coldblood talents. Can anyone send me a list of the best main/off hand weapons? 73 trys on UPER and rends maind hand hate me xD
in a choice what amount of attack power would be equal to 1 percent hit or is hit always the choice
~20 ap after you are hit capped.
numbers are not final and might in fact be really wrong, but probably not
what is the hit cap at level 60 ?
6% with 305 weapon skill
good to know is there a site that has these kinds of figures ?
Thanks Mizerok
Is it validated that Teebu's blazing sword actually is in lockboxes?
if you go dagger rogue you should get 2 felstriker and pull aggro imo
it says so on wowhead
i can't confirm however
50 hours grind done in brd
i've gotten a few patterns and green items
hoping that a lionheart maybe drops
hehe
still never seen a teebu's and I scan AH on high pop servers
most of them prob drop in MC and get equipped tho
TawneyToday at 7:42 AM
I remember reading striking is the go to for pve daggers over crusader. Is this true? <-- Any info on this?
yes, +5 is better
Why does 6pc SC have to be so fucking good lol... basically giving up tier pieces to the rogues who can’t understand why I’m getting 3-5 more BS in a fight than them lol
Skullforge reaver or thrash blade in mh?
@strong schooner thrash
offhand i have bonescraper/skullforge reaver
dont have mirah yet
how much wep dps/speed is it worth to drop sword spec in offhand
Arms warrior and warlock, or the nightmare of rogues
If I don't put hunter into it
2k mortal strike outch
whats best OH Dagger before Corehound Tooth. Not including things like Felstriker/Alcor's?
Distracting dagger or bonescraper are good
I figured it was between those two. and maybe shadowblade? IDK how bad the proc rate is on that though, especially as an OH
Shadowmourne
considering rogues damage is mostly auto attacks it is still worth reaching
auto attack cap right?`
what's the addon that shows your crit/hit and all that?
@strong schooner They're about the same over a 3min encounter but Skullforge doesn't have the same kind of randomness that Thrash Blade has.
@raven snow Not possible since it's 25%.
+Hit past 6% still has very good value.
is Felstriker the best OH after CHT if you got Perdition's blade as MH?
Not sure why the MH matters here, the bolded number being a generic "DPS" value.
OHs^
Weights done in relation to pure stats.
fcking nobrain lock, this class is an absolute garbage for garbages
Sounds normal, pick resist are cancer.
what do you mean lock is high skill class 
Yeah at some point you have to die because your crits are way too fat.
get a spell hit set for pickpocket runs,problem solved
anyone have info on what libram of rapidity is worth vs voracity? i have some people saying it's good for sword rogues or if you're weilding a slower weapon, and i checked the shadowpanther spreadsheet and it isn't on there. any ideas?
The Bloodmoon spreadsheet shows that 1% haste is worth ~8agi
As combat swords.
Will check again real fast.
ok cool, you got a link to that by chance?
you have to be real however
1% haste
will you stay by the boss
and auto attack it forever?
if you do then 1% haste is better than 8 str or 8 agi
Yes.
Same DPS @ 1min, 2min, and 3min encounters.
The difference won't be worth the price of those enchants however, haste is just extremely cheaper.
Don't even think the server matters.
Yeah.
so cheap
Bloods are free, Pristine is like... 20g average? Large Brills are 5g eacy?
Book is fucking... free, haha.
yeah lol the hardest thing is getting the blood
i mean finding nodes lol
Just grabbem when you're waiting to fill for Strat.
Ask in Gen, people just give that information away O _O
They can't fucking fight those assholes.
very good raid today, got nightslayer chest & perditions blade
woop!
next big updates for me are onyxia neck & t2 pants/head
GL
btw, when should you if ever respec into seal fate?
30% base crit probably.
with daggers or swords?
ill leave it then, 29% base crit
They say 30% after buffs/consumables but that shit is very soft and can be hard to keep.
Just have Songflower/etc. at all times 4head.
tbh mongoose alone gives like 3% crit easy
So I would say that if you have 30%+ crit AT ALL TIMES, it can work.
~3% ye
I just wanna stick to math WITHOUT world-buffs as it's not reasonable for most people.
30% crit, 9% hit
Seal Fate is better than Combat Daggers.
I recently got CHT in raid, but I'm not sure which hand to use it in. I haveShadowblade and The Shadowfoot Stabber in my bags.
Yeah, I think according to the sheet I use CHT MH and Shadowblade OH (Over TSS) right?
hows classic everyone??
@humble light Sounds right.
whats best use of cold blood in PvE/PvP? ambush? eviscerate?
Probably EVI for Swords, don't know Ambush numbers.
Considering your EVIs are gonna be with 5 sunders/etc. in a PVE setting, oobby.
true that works as well
ah dont worry guys false alarm, I wasnt thinking of the 5% crit from combat I'd miss out, so my real crit is closer to 24%. Soon...
Yeah lol
@spare blaze don't forget crit suppression too
Seal Fate is not viable for a long time
i'm starting to lose my mind on these 2man stealth tribute runs
does anyone have experience with it who could answer some questions?
Nah
if I did it I would study the streams of people doing it + use the kite strategy with rogue & druid
facetanking is too scary
you can FAP and then start kiting after it finishes
man 50 gold a hour
is so little
ffs i want a warlock now when i see they making 100+ gold a hour
...
@maiden cave what is the kite strategy?
you mean similar to duo rogue where after cd's you just run away, then vanish and the other guy pops his cd's, runs away etc
but then what about the caster add
if it's the shaman or priest, they can heal gordok
i need rogues on my server so we can duo anger... i just want hoj
well this is with dying 4 times and running back and each time running back you lose 3 minutes
an hour of brd pickpocketing give or take
super lucky on those major healing potions
fuckinasty
10 what?
@strong schooner
it's rng based
sometimes you get tons of resist
other times zero
BTW someone explain this please
itzWack sometimes
My current spec
Considering taking away some (or all) points from Improved Slice and Dice and putting them into Lethality. Unsure just how much value I actually get from the Improved SnD duration
Additionally, in dungeons (and even more so in raids) I'm not finding myself using Gouge... Ever?
Should I be or would I be better off putting those 3 points into Lightning Reflexes for 3% dodge chance.
Has anyone tested out spell hit with pick pocket?
I think we had a 3 second P2 ONY >_>
the fuck? how?
You fuckin blast her.
She was up, 1 fireball, coming down.
BECAUSE OF THAT
Half the raid died.
roflmao
BUT IT WAS COOL.
I'm really curious about spell hit and pick pocket
I want to know if it really reduces resists
and if so, can we make it 100% hit
Doubt it.
yeah, people say it's based on spell hit but no one has posted any proof that I've ever seen
So why even believe them?
I mean, in theory it's based on something, right?
HONESTLY
im thinking of getting a full frost resistance set and shadow resistance set
so i can just swap it on when facing warlocks
who have their fakking
voidwalker
and be like HAHA can't be killed LOL
then against mages
resist all slows
yeah i had minions follow me in stealth today a few times today its annoying
Is shadow master in LBRS 2-3 rogue-able?
He hits kinda hard IIRC.
Brutality blade + gutgore from garr yesterday. 5th onslaught belt from rag in a row, at least something good. Still have only 1 tier piece after 6 clears
I think we have 4 fully tiered druids now
Anyone have experience with GKP raids since classic has been released?
i honestly haven't heard of any GKP runs in classic, last time i heard of one was on nostra server
Yeah, I havent seen any either. Was thinking about starting an Ony one every weekend but unsure of how to price items.
at what point does hemoharge become more superior than sinister strike btw? like at 10 sinister strikes, it costs 450 energy, and has 680 bonus damage. Hemorrhage costs 35 energy, so 350 energy for 10.
So in theory you could, do almost 3 more hemorrhage by the time you've done 10 sinister strikes.
however your weapon damage must scale over 680 bonus damage in order to be better than sinister strike
Yo would like to chat with some1 who knows alot about hit rating vs weapon skill
and their interaction
also how are people going with gpm/hr with pick pocketing?
40g/hr approx?
Shadowpather maep values and if hit is static after yellow hit cap etc
Hello friends! Does anyone have a guild that's recruiting on Bigglesworth - US ?
I dont like pickpocketing for money. You can pretty much only do instances, like brd. If you get resisted you have to vanish and wait for 5 mins or risk dying on the next resist
tyrs hand pickpocketing should be worth it too, and you can run away, if vanish is on cd
tyrs?
brd goes ok with sub spec and prep
40g/hr atm
curious if ppl have other recommendations
keen to talk to some1 about hit rating, wep skill and stat equivalents
have you tried reading https://github.com/magey/classic-warrior/wiki/Attack-table
@next horizon after realising i could sell blinding powders for 50 s a stack it's about 60+ gold a hour now
ye im trying to sell mine
@old stone
not many ppl buying weirdly enough
cause I basically never used blind till farming this now
fadeleaf is quite expensive
@raven snow is that just runing permenantly and pickpocketing without instance reset
@old stone in the long run, pick pocketing is more gold per hour than waiting for vanish, risk the death its worth the run. also tbh you should be prep+ combat talent endurance if you're going to rely on pickpocket gold farming
ayeah
it get somewhat repetive i agree
ye struggle with that but good still
i believe in phase 2 you could probably sell the blinding powders for some more
and same with both major and superior healing potions
feeling pretty good boys. Got blackstone ring yesterday and today I will snag the devilsaur gloves when I lvl 53
Nice, I got all my gear enchanted with haste yesterday lol can’t wait to test it
for daggers with mh perd: Distracting dagger + Zigris belt or Bonescraper + Mugger's belt, thoughts?
Distracting and muggers will prob be more dps until u get core hound gloves
then u can swap distracting for bonescraper
from what ive heard regarding dagger skill
Alterac swiss which you get commonly from pickpocketing sells good on auctionhouse because you need 20 of those to learn cooking from 225 to 300
don't vendor them
🙂
Weird question
So does teebu's blazing longsword exist in classic now? or is it a myth? a legend? Also IF it does, is it correct that its actually possible to get it from one of the pickpocket boxes?
Cool, good to know
honestly just ask one of your hunters that is farming tribute to invite you when tarnished drops. ez pz
@winged crystal just realized you are level 53. nvm 😄 grats!
Just need like 4 more bank alts full lol
Is there an addon to track my pick pocket sessions? Just curious about resist chance and such
does anyone know of or have a link to an AEP addon?
@shadow tapir yes the addon is called pen & paper
or a link to pawn stat wieghts
A guild hunter wants 25g for a tarnished ring, what a scammer. Got one in a regular run tonight
I mean if they are soloing it they can sell for up to 50g on some servers.
Sounds like a bit of a deal.
Yeah. They do the same for Blackstone
yeah, he said he sells for 50
might just buy it for 25 and be done with it
or use the mats for 4 tributes that I still have
I paid 25g for Blackstone. I was 52 and got it on the 3rd run. Took like 35 mins or so total. So worth the time savings
I have painweaver, blackstone and magnis will for the other slot to choose from
double tarnished is just better, maybe I just shouldnt care
HoJ working as intended?
29% critrate, same as my normal hits
k
I think there might be something weird going on with OH HoJ procs not getting the +OH_DMG talent.
The damage is close, but still low.
The proc_rate is also too low.
By ~50%.
@raven snow thanks!
wars/rog dps already so high lol i doubt blizz will fix hoj
Yeah I am in it for the procs really, replacing it come BWL meebee, will see.
HoJ works fine for me as a bear 
suppsedly it works for 2hs and without dual wielding
Yeah IIRC DW is the weirdness.
So, ShadowPanther says that HoJ is better than Jom Gabbar
But, every BiS list I see shows to drop HoJ for it
shadowpanter doesnt really say HoJ is better
it's just got a higher spot on the list
both trinkets have 30 AEP and MAEP
true, but in that vein they'd be the same value
I thought I just said they had the same value
And yet you didn't explain why every BiS says to take Jom Gabbar over HoJ
I haven't seen a single BiS list that doesn't
Which was the basis of my question
probably just because it's a controllable trinket
The BiS lists never state how much a difference there is between anything.
Only reason I can see HoJ still being better is because AP only increases out autos, and SS can proc HoJ
AEP is weighting using ALL stats (stamina included), MAEP removes the Stamina.
any1 got a site where i can check rogue stats weights?
such as how much 1% hit,1%crit, 10 agility etc is
some people say 1% hit is 18 attackpower 1% crit is 26 attackpower
@plucky nymph u still using 8 set SC or u gotten some gear yet 
@raven snow it changes depending on your stats/gear/buffs, so it's hard to give you one that works for everything
if you visit the Classic Rogue Discord https://discord.gg/Pkkntws they have a spreadsheet which calculates your stat weights for you
AP 1.00
Agility 1.75
Strength 1.00
Crit 22.00
Hit 18.00``` is a decent guideline, but it's not accurate for everyone at all
HoJ looks like garbage if that's how it's rn
@frosty rover SS and Evis are set damages. Their damage is not increased by Attack Power - it's simple Weapon Damage + value
I mean...SS deals dmg on top of the weapon damage, sure, but AP will improve your weapon damage
Saying their damage is not increased by AP is...odd.
ROGUES DONT SCALE WITH GEAR DUMBASS! Eviscerate has static damage!
Not sure if sarcasm.
World of roguecraft ep 1
He's incapable of talking without mocking and putting someone down
Its a quote from a popular pvp video
So a bad attempt at sarcasm, then.
Damn zoomers
Again ... huh?
but yeah Palmer, don't say AP doesn't increase the damage of those 2
I didn't think AP got added to SS/Evis until later. I was mistaken
Ahhh
Eviscerate = (Base Damage Minimum + Modifier) up to (Base Damage Maximum + Modifier)
Critical Eviscerate = Eviscerate Damage Range * 2```
So at most you only get 15% of the AP
SS gets about 7%
So it scales poorly from AP, but does scale
SS scales almost the same on AP that auto does
no ?
I mean 14ap = 1 dps = 2.8dmg on your autos = 2.4dmg on your ss. Relatively SS win even more since it does not miss
anything that use weapon damage scales with ap xd
(Attack Power / 14) * Weapon Speed + Weapon Damage = Damage
That's what I see for autos
(Attack Power / 14) * Normalized Weapon Speed + Weapon Damage + 98 = Damage
That's sinister strikes
Ohhh, okay... So yeah, 14 agi gives you 2.8 damage. I was only looking at AP/14 and evidently can't math
So, which should I swap for Thrash Blade: Sword of Serenity (30.0 dps 9stam/4spirit) or Speedsteel Rapier (28.1dps
and 8 agi 3 stam
But yeah I don't understand like rogues majority of damage comes from auto attacks so how come crit scales higher than hit :D
Because you can't really cap hit for white.
@maiden cave I love that this uses "EAP" but doesn't set AGI to function as a baseline.
I'm curious as someone who's thinking of leveling a rogue, is it true that it's difficult to get dungeon groups at lvl 60?
Depends on server, tanks are scare.
@plucky nymph I love that you care when "EAP" is just a score and can mean any number of things
it could be "Efficient Attack Power"
Could be.
I'm very interested in it but the thought of not getting groups is kind of of putting, my highest lvl character is a hunter though, I guess it's just as difficult to get a group as hunter...
are you whining for any particular reason or just being a cunt?
its EAP, if you want agi to be your baseline (why would you, use the lowest score as a baseline to make it simpler) then go wild
the world is your oyster
So is it effective attack power, estimated agility points, extra apple potential?
evil anduin ptoryline
Guys - Sorry if this gets asked ad nauseum. Wouldn’t the 6 pc shadow craft with daggers (faster weapon speed so more chances to proc) perform better than nightslayer?
I hear it’s roughly 4% proc rate
Usually does yeah.
Eventually the tier will just have enough stats to make up for the loss in powerful set bonuses though.
Ya tier 2 or 2.5 if my theorycradting is accurate. There has to be someone who has matched and trialed this with world buffs and without worldbuffs out there right
IMO unless you are clearing all content in the timeframe of the world buffs that is an unreliable metric.
Totally agree
That’s why I am curious on both with and without world buffs
Can u elaborate on what u meant by “most” of the time it does?
Since the set bonus doesn't use a weighted proc system sometimes you get very few procs and the averages can be skewed due to it.
So raw stats ends up being the better option.
Gotcha. Since there is no Proc Per Minute at all in Classic, u could get good RNG or bad RNG basically is what u are saying
Other times you get the 6pc proccing 4 times in a fucking row and you get 100NRG from nowhere.
so this 30/0/21 build is kinda really fun and does good damage
agreed
and good damage is fine, so have fun :3

But quit changing your fuuuuucking name 
What's the 30/0/21 spec and how do people not yell about no imp gouge?
People yelling about specs are trying way too hard, do w/e you want.
30/0/21 is just something I've chosen myself afaik
thinking of a variation where I go x/x/31 for pvp
I was honestly just curious and then also made a joke
30/16/5 = more dmg and gets imp gouge
Is Brutality Blade + Dal Rend OH better than MH and OH together?
Dal Rend OH is bad.
Use Mirah's Song if you have the option, or buy a Dimensional Blade of Tiger/Monkey/etc.
or a dagger.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yep.
i think its also slightly faster than mirah song too
Yeah but .2 IIRC
okay tanku
i'm gonna be ranking in p3 but i'm unsure if i should go swords or daggers. i'm probably going to have to choose between viskag and perds in my raid group
i think daggers is cooler than swords, but i'm, unsure which is actually stronger in premades
dal'rend OH is just for the 50 AP
definitely going daggers we have so many warriors fighting over swords
pick up some swords when they have em
bois should i aim for shadowcraft 4p/6p for pve or nah?
I’m 6/8shadow 2/2 devil and I love it
On the spreadsheet it’s bis for me too as dagger
is it better than 4p with pre raid bis pieces?
im looking shadowpanther spreadshit but cant see too find the ultimate bis what spreadshit u use?
is there a good BIS list for sword combat? with MC stuff included
is shadow craft warking for wow classic?
@civic crest, can u link that blood moon spreadsheet?
@civic crest can you link me the blood moon one? 🙂
Looking for the link right now
Also. Rogue classic channel opinion about 6/8 shadow
cbb with it myself, ended up organizing MC trash runs and getting both nightslayer mob drops, as well as ACLGs from an actual boss clear
lul
M E D I A F I R E O _O
?
I can tell
If HoJ is actually 1% proc rate for Dual Wielding (regardless of it having a weird damage calc. that would drop it even lower), the following trinkets are solid choices if not better due to damage and lack of randomness;
Rune of the Guard Captain (Q Horde only) [tied or slightly up]
Royal Seal of Eldre'Thalas (Q DM) [tied or slightly up]
sadly I'm alliance
so I'd rather have extra ap + swing than 2% more hit on top of my 13% :D
but I'm very unlucky
lost the roll on HoJ 8x times
btw what do you think about dagger rogues rolling on swords in raids? is it ok? cuz I have no idea
today saw dagger rogue winning ony sword
it's unfair imo
its perfectly normal for people without epic weapons to just go for whatever epic weapon they can get first
so if they were using blue weapons, I wouldn't have a problem with it
ye
I dunno about CN software O_O
Yeah I’m using swords but have every intention of rolling on MC daggers.
Yeah thats different lol
Part of me feels I shouldnt roll on Perds because Im human but PvP ya know
And the guild says pvp is their main goal in P2
probably gonna get it before pvp
unless unlucky XD
or how many people you have rolling for it
I haven’t even killed Rag yet, raid time conflicts
They made a second raid group is only reason I might be able to. It has 6 rogues in it lol
My primary raid has 6 Rogues in it >_>
6 in mine... but since I’m out performing the other rogues while I’m full blue and they have epics. I hope o get first pick on perd
better than the warriors >_>

I think +% hit is vastly over-rated, especially in BiS list like Wowhead or so, but also by Shadowpanther spreadsheet.
Shadowpanther assume 1% hit = 7AEP when 1% crit=10AEP
My maths tell me that 1% hit rating only value 0.5% crit rating once passed the yellow hit cap which is 1% in combat spec
So either hit rating is overated or crit rating is under rated but the AEP value of %hit should be half the AEP value of crit.
Do you have math to support that though? Doesn’t seem to be any after hit cap
Yes I have but I'm currently looking for datas that could proove/ determine what is the Glancing blow penalty reduction (if there is any) with Weapon Expertise talent
0.5% crit = 1% hit assume a static 70% glacning blow dmg (that should actually be the case in 1.12 btw since Glacning blow dmg reduction from Weapon skill only appears with 2.0.1)
BUT most of the private server actually DO have weapon skill reducing Glancing blow dmg penalty and there no information about it on classic
Basically only 50% of your dmg are autos so that if you assume 1% hit increase your autos dmg by 1% (in reality it's between 1.08% and 1.17% depending on your actual hit/crit rating score, the highest gear you have, the lower it will be) so that 1% hit rating only increase your dmg by 0.5% (in facts 0.56%)
when 1% crit is increasing autos dmg by 1% but is also increasing SS dmg and Evis dmg by 1% (in fact, again it's 1.08%-1.17% for autos but only 0.8% for evisc, the calculation for SS is a bit difference since it benefit from 30% addition crit dmg and there is a 2 roll table (need to take dodge in consideration) BUT even if you take all of that in the calculation, you still find that 1% crit is really close to 1% increase in overall dps. (around 0.97% probably less with end tier gear)
TL:DR Following thoose simple maths the AEP value (relative) of hit rating should be somewhere between 5 and 6AEP if 1% crit = 10AEP.
Has glancing blow tests
308 reduces it to 5%
if that's true it cannot make such a difference in AEP value for crit/hit (edit: in fact it even devalue hit rating even more since it increase the following coefficient)
basically I'm using a hit table
Create a new spreadsheet and edit with others at the same time -- from your computer, phone or tablet. Get stuff done with or without an internet connection. Use Sheets to edit Excel files. Free from Google.
This give a coefficient that should be around 0.85-0.9 with current dunj gear
your dps with autos is on average 0.85*sheet-dps
Btw I know you think I'm crazy but it actually change the BiS list by a large margin, as an example Truestrike shoulder are valued at 27 AEP but in fact it probably worth only at best 24AEP so that they are not especially better than shadowcraft shoulders. This lead to false BiS list and people keep trying to get thoose shoulder while they should probably aim for Shadowcraft shoulder to get 4p bonus etc... Not even mentionning guild loot council based on thoose said BiS list.
Nah its good to test, Im just not smart enough to understand it
imma take some time to do (redo) all the job and we'll see
"large margin" "3 agility" o _o
Brutality Blade yeeeees
yeee
btw any preRaid BiS list for Rogues that doesn't include 6pc SC is wrong anyway >_>
bis lists in general are overrated
Not necessary, sure, overrated I dunno about.
u can have absolutely random dungeon gear and absolutely destroy MC a.k.a. target dummy raid
Yeah but that's not the point of BiS Lists really.
i mean you won't see huge difference between wowhead bis list, 6pc shadowcraft or some other variation
~25agi, will take my free passive consumable
HoJ owners, have you noticed some significant difference in dps?
I notice dark circle underneath me that counts as proc
I wouldn't waste the goat.
im playing the role of goat usualy
heh
Here print mine out
ty
It's in my bags, WHERE IT BELOOOOOOOOOOOONGS.
That's what the BRD spammers want you to think.
i mean I haven't seen any other good trinket
maybe u can save my life
by giving some alternative :D
So is HoJ actually bugged?
Some people swear it is, other people swear it's a Details bug
Even @ 2% in a 1min fight you get 1 proc.
waow
IF any at all
wiw
2 procs, if that.
#teamnoHoJ
Team 13% hit O_O
yeet
How long of a fight is that
1min, the fight duration I have to deal with.
Outside of Rag I suppose.
For now.
But Miz, my Gandling PuGs take 5min to kill him!!
¯_(ツ)_/¯
lol
AP good. need moar AP
goes into classic knowing pvt server numbers are wrong
some classic numbers are different
"it must be bugged"

Well the trinket gives a very specific % chance
Dont think it has to do with private servers
it either works or it doesnt
I like that it has AP, although I might as well just be running a counterattack lodestone if that's the point I'm standing by
hmm, just got DM trinket book for 20g, cheap or not? XD
how much does crit weight compared to attackpower? talking on skull mobs
since 40% of hits on skulls cant crit (hit cap glacing blows) or am i wrong?
Will there be guilds raiding MC/Ony when BWL is released?
some ppl still need t2head from ony so i guess
@plucky nymph the scale of numbers in classic is bonkers. 1 free proc white hit per min. thats dog shit. Is your details breakdown still like 70% white damage?
we have some rets and white was like 80. Seals clocking in <1 % and judge at like 8%. made me lol.
How about they literally just dont use anything, and consecrate more.
Does hit chance lose its 1%=20AP value at some point? After soft cap.
Does + defense work in pvp ?
easy elven ring, bought off some hunter who solos tribute
25g which i feel like isnt that much. due to how long can it take to get
got another but lockout got fucked up
hes gonna do more later 😛
takes 20min to do solo, so its decent gold if he gets buyers
It really doesn’t sound like a lot@
Nice man
I’d pay 25g for the ring
My second one that is
anyone know what Winterspring E'ko is the best for rogues?
All of them
They’re basically better options then the consumables
You have the attackpowwr one that’s better then the pot
they dont share a CD with each other?
The Str one that’s better then a pot
And the speed one that’s completely on its own
I don’t think so no
I use the str one and speed one every raid a lot
The ap one is harder to come by because they drop of elites and I can farming them
yeah im trying to decide which to farm, been killing frostsabers for about an hour
Also a little side note on them
If you’re a raid of 40
And 1 drops
40 people will get it
So it’s worth grouping up for them
I’ve been using my gfs priest when she’s away to grind ekos to get 2 per drop
gotcha, sweet. thank ya
Yw
second elven if instance doesnt bug out XD
@vocal hornet Shit is mostly because fights are a minute, so low proc rate items are trash.
Stabby boi:
both them bois gotta step up their instant poison VI game
No, we're Horde... weirdo.
WERNDFURRY
Some of the shaman are having the free time to twist, so that's nice.
That's what I am using as my assumption is that the DMG oddity is there as well and I'd rather the hit and -2AP over the free TWO attacks.
waow
So in that case Seal vs Rune?
mfw people farm endlessly for HoJ
and its not even that good
It's fine o _o
is Dalrend OH better to use than Mirah's song with Thrash blade MH if i dont have Dalrend MH yet?
no
ok thanks
Miz the people screeching about swing timers in my guild

Should I tell them about the DPS difference? I doubt they’d believe the numbers
around what gear level do daggers become better dps than swords?
Good god the whole HoJ thing is still going strong in my guild
Where did he pull that from either? How does added hit DR your other stats?
i think he's just saying added hit % only increases white hits after a certain point (therefore DR'ed)
meanwhile hoj proc scales off ap/crit
My whites that don't miss also scale off ap and crit >_>
and he's trying to say that 1% hit won't increase your DPS as much as 1% crit would (if they were similar to begin with), or AGI/AP/etc.
Hilariously...
These are my white hits against Golemagg;
1% hit would net me literally +1 attacks on him, whereas HoJ probably would never have procc'd.
This is all a coincidence but it is funny.
SC 6pc over an MC clear only bosses.
Hit% causes HoJ to scale /mindblown
and yeah, if fights were longer HoJ would be pretty good even @ 1%
Due to the trinkets very low proc rate, there's almost too high a chance to never get a proc out of it.
the fat procproc
