The best solo rogue spot imo is azshara flight points

#

It’s a bunch of solo players or small groups running to get Mc water or farm herbs

#

No guards on the flight master

hidden basin
#

What do you farm there? First time I hear of this.

glass timber
#

Honor

#

Lol

hidden basin
#

Ah Honor lmao

#

I tought we are talking about gold.

glass timber
#

You farm solo players by the handful all day

#

Naaaaa gold farm for me is mining I need 69 more arcane crystals for tf

#

Lol

hidden basin
#

I'll start farming honor now when I'm done with gold. Cant PvP with a 60% mount looking like a bum.

glass timber
#

Yeah for sure

hidden basin
#

Will buy the mount with rank 3

#

800 gold

plucky nymph
#

ezpz

#

Will buy the rest of the mounts @ rank 3 O _O

glass timber
#

Mining is the way with how many people spam nades now

plucky nymph
#

Yeah and it's only going to get worse.

glass timber
#

All my dense stone sells soon as I post it

#

They thirsty for more nades

rugged copper
#

Hi I have a question on what hit % I get from precision+expertise as a combat swords rogue

shadow tapir
#

with 305 weapon skill you only need 6% hit to cap against bosses

#

Precision is 5% of that

#

Hit is still good after cap

rugged copper
#

I have precision at 5 ranks is that 5% hit? And after that how much does the 5 weep skill give hit% wise

#

I'm a 57 and often out dog 60s in dungeons. Per fight and then in overall

#

I'm still getting turned down a lot for DM and strat school

shadow tapir
#

Yeah no reason to bring a 57 when you can bring a 60

#

esp a rogue

rugged copper
#

But if I get in I out dumb them all except for small portions of a ton of non elite mobs

#

Out dps not dumb hah

#

I get that. Just been tough to find groups on pvp since horde is camped everywhere. Brs brd it's like 10 corpse runs to get in

#

People are on farm mode right now. I guess it will be better once bgs hit?

#

Btw thanks Tawney for answering

glass timber
#

yeah it will get better with bg's

#

less focus on wpvp since you can queue for bg's in major cities and afk till it pops

#

but you still willl have people who will be roaming while waiting for queue since that only takes one person to do it

spark raptor
#

Rankers need to farm gold too. Ranking in bgs is more expensive than in the open world

#

Except youre facing pugs all the time

past arrow
#

... if i swap MH and OH weapons with WW totem effect does the OH keep the enchant for 10 seconds?

#

😐

#

that cant possibly work can it?

plucky nymph
#

@past arrow The WF buff is removed when you remove the weapon from your MH.

trail jasper
#

How are mouseover macros for blinding, sapping etc without losing combo points? Does it work and if not, is there a solution around it? Sucks to lose a bunch of points because I need to blind someone

bleak hill
#

Whats the 6pieces of SC the ppl tend to go with?

#

id assume replace chest of cadaverous and keep 2 piece devilsaur set?

drowsy phoenix
#

I've seen people with T2 head/legs and the other 6 pieces SC

shadow tapir
#

SC 6 pc + Devilsaur or Cad/Truestrike + SC 6 pc usually

#

but yeah with T1/T2 it changes

cedar jewel
#

T2 head/legs with sc 6set was bis before they did some testing for the proc chance on 6set

#

It’s one of the best combos with 6set

plucky nymph
#

@bleak hill If we're not taking into account Tier 1/2 then it's;

6pc Shadowcraft + Truestrike Shoulders + Cadaverous Chest

or

6pc Shadowcraft + Devilsaur Hands + Devilsaur Pants

plucky nymph
#

LOL

bleak hill
#

@plucky nymph is the top option better than the bottom option?

#

i have both those sets, which one would be the better one to go with

#

and last question to go with those, so basically T0 chest piece in the SC set sucks?

cedar jewel
#

I would go with truestrike and cad over devilsaur

#

Its not that the sc chest is complete trash, is more of a cad chest being way better

bleak hill
#

ok so i set up the 6pc SC set, is everything I have equiped here "Full prebis" or am i missing anything?

shadow tapir
#

second elven ring technically

#

Is that Ony neck?

bleak hill
#

yeah and ok i have 2nd tring, so its better to have the 2 trings over 1 tring and 1 pw?

shadow tapir
#

ya

bleak hill
#

ok word swapped that. other than that its full prebis?

shadow tapir
#

Pretty much yep

bleak hill
#

wasnt sure if using Riphook over the satyrs would be better?

shadow tapir
#

I dont believe so but cant say for certain. Spreadsheet would confirm

bleak hill
#

gotcha ok what spreadsheet?

shadow tapir
#

Check out that discord and the dps soreadsheet channel, will give you the info

bleak hill
#

ty appreciated!~!

plucky nymph
#

Every blue bow @ 60 is basically tied.

glass timber
#

No thorium arrows smh

shadow tapir
#

At what point does NS overtake SC usually?

plucky nymph
#

With Devilsaur it's pretty fast, since fights can and will be super short (~1min) and procs are super random.

shadow tapir
#

one of the pieces is NS pants, thats the trouble

#

suppose Ill use spreadsheet

plucky nymph
#

NS Gloves + T2 Legs > Devilsaur

#

Given the helmet isn't just "pieces", but yeah.

#

This effectively ties 6pT0.

shadow tapir
#

Sure, im basically sitting on NS legs helm and boots

#

Not spending for Devilsaur at this point

#

But opens up TS shoulders and waht not

plucky nymph
#

I got it for like, 80g >_>

shadow tapir
#

so probably worth

#

Leather is still like 8g on my server

plucky nymph
#

😐

shadow tapir
#

I can get enough from farming pretty easily tho

#

But again, NS legs

plucky nymph
#

ye

signal ember
#

Eye dropped

#

We just need one more binding and we can get both server first legendaries on the server

plucky nymph
#

OH poison btw

signal ember
#

We killed it like 10 mins before it worn off

signal ember
#

Btw deleted my alliance rogue and rerolled troll

bleak hill
#

Damn lucky. We been rummingfor 10 weeks . 0 bindings...>.<

bleak hill
#

is there a way to mouse over pick lock the boxes in my bag? so annoying having to keep clickin picklock icon on my side bar before every box

earnest cipher
#

Just keybind it

#

Move it to 1 when u PL a lot of stuff then move it back

#

Is what I do

bleak hill
#

So i won a Felstrike finally off of rend. Whats a good main hand to pair it with, i have a shadowfoot stabber and barmans shank and the silence dagger tht gives +5 dag bonus. any ideas?

plucky nymph
#

Felstrike+DD

timid quest
#

is there a reason to use mainhand sword offhand dagger for PvE or PvP?

#

And if so.. how do you skill talents?

#

if anyone has an answer please @timid quest me

plucky nymph
#

@timid quest The only reason to use a Dagger in the OH if you are Sword Spec. is if you have extremely poor options for the OH piece, or if you are leveling as Specializations don't matter much during that time.

timid quest
#

So I want to go either double sword

#

or double dagger

#

but never mixing it up

plucky nymph
#

At level cap you have enough options for swords that you should never OH anything other than a sword at the moment.

#

Whether you use the earlier quest swords, or Mirah's Song (Scholo quest 1-hander) or a Dimension Sword of the Monkey/Tiger.

bleak hill
#

@plucky nymph Whats DD mean for the OH wep to go with felstriker?

plucky nymph
#

Distracting Dagger

#

The +Daggers... dagger.

bleak hill
#

ahhhhhh ok ty i appreciate the tip!

#

would that be my best choice for out of raid daggers, obv i assume gutgore ripper, perds, and the core hound tooth would all be my next upgrade

plucky nymph
#

Outside of raids yes, as you don't have access to Aged Core Leather Gloves, Core Hound Tooth, etc.

bleak hill
#

once i get aged core leather gloves, i assume its prolly better to get something that doesnt off the +5 dag so u dont go over 310?

plucky nymph
#

The SIMs show that the +Daggers is still very good but the hit gains are so low that I don't see it. If you've nothing better than sure use DD OH with ACLG.

#

We've just got very few options atm.

#

ACLG are used into and through Naxx loot progression.

#

For reference, 308 to 315 weapon skill nets you .7% hit, which 1% crit beats pretty much always.

Bloodmoon 1.9 Sword Spec #'s
-
Current (T1/T2 Mix) - 505 00    
6pcT0+DSFullSet - 497 45    
6pcT0+TSS+CADChest - 496 97    
bleak hill
#

Whats an ACLG?

plucky nymph
#

Aged Core Leather Gloves

bleak hill
#

ahhh okay gotcha

plucky nymph
bleak hill
#

yeah i know the pair ur talking about, not good with abreviations

plucky nymph
#

Long one too.

bleak hill
#

Current (T1/T2 Mix) - 505 00
6pcT0+DSFullSet - 497 45
6pcT0+TSS+CADChest - 496 97

whats does the last 2 numbers mean? i assume the first 2 are there dps projections?

plucky nymph
#

no decimals is all

#

no . or , or w/e people wanna use

bleak hill
#

ohhh ok gotcha/ so Devilsaur pair with 6 piece is better than tss + cadd. marginally but slightly better?

plucky nymph
#

Less than 1dps, effectively tied.

bleak hill
#

gotcha ok

plucky nymph
#

DM Bracers are still better

#

Don't waste your time or money ever getting the Tier1 Bracers.

timid quest
#

@plucky nymph I have the gloves and the rag dagger

#

but also brutality blade

#

Now thinking what to use which works good for PvP and PvE

plucky nymph
#

Combat Daggers is better damage than Swords for this tier (for PVE), both are entirely acceptable and going one or the other will not damage your raid in any way.

#

Best off picking one or the other depending on what you like and going for that if you are in a guild that would like the decision made ahead of time.

timid quest
#

And PvP wise?

plucky nymph
#

Considering the mess I have seen in Badlands, it's a crapshoot.

As I've killed people inside Cheap Shot + Kidney Shot with Tea as PVE and PVP Sword Specs, and they have done the same as the dagger specs.

#

Things will change once people have PVP gear and way more health though.

bleak hill
#

if you had the del rend pair for sword spec, and FS with DD for dagger spec.......which would u be going? is so hard to tell damage against certain gear sets without the punching bags that were in BC lolol

#

u seem pretty damn knowledgable so curious as to what ud go with in that choice

plucky nymph
#

Go whichever you like, IMO, it really just doesn't matter, and won't.

#

The only thing that really matters at the moment is not putting up DoTs at all as a Rogue.

bleak hill
#

u think the 2 weps will do exact same dps as each other in there respectful specs?

plucky nymph
#

No but I know that the DPS doesn't matter.

bleak hill
#

im a damage whore so i like big numbers xD

plucky nymph
#

Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

bleak hill
#

so i know sword rogue is like SS>1pt snd> SS > like 2-4 pt evis? repeat etc

is daggers same rotation just with Backstab instead of SS?

plucky nymph
#

Yeah you basically never EVIS. as daggers unless the fights are loooooooooooooong.

#

or very short.

#

and you don't need to refresh SnD.

bleak hill
#

so u just spam backstab and never use SnD or evis?

plucky nymph
#

No you need SnD still.

vocal hornet
#

100% snd uptime inc.

bleak hill
#

how come i dont need to refresh it once i put it up once?

plucky nymph
#

The boss is dead.

bleak hill
#

rofllll

plucky nymph
#

and there is no reason to.

bleak hill
#

gotcha ok

shadow tapir
#

You do, hes saying becasue backstab costs so much energy that youre probably never going to get to Eviscerate

#

All those CP go into SnD

bleak hill
#

gotcha so backstab > 1 pt SnD> backstab > 5 pt SnD > and usually boss dies or hit evis if i have any pts to spare

shadow tapir
#

Outside of like

#

AR and Thistle Tea

#

Renew SnD

bleak hill
#

ok

shadow tapir
#

And if you cap CP you can just wait for SnD to run low from upwards of 8 seconds

bleak hill
#

ok 10.4. would evis be good to use with AR + Tea?

#

or with BF active?

shadow tapir
#

If you have the CP and SnD isnt running out then yes Evis

bleak hill
#

15-31-5......is tht the go to combat daggers build?

plucky nymph
#

Sounds right enough.

bleak hill
plucky nymph
#

The extra points in Lethality are not worth it.

#

nor are the points in Murder as you don't get the bonus too often.

bleak hill
#

so ud take those 7 points out and put them elsewhere

plucky nymph
#

Honestly it might be worth it considering you might use very few finishers.

#

You either do the above or;

#

Take 2 from Murder and 2 from Lethality and put them into Ruthlessness and Relentless.

#

Ruth and Relentless lose point value if you do not find yourself using Finishers "enough".

bleak hill
#

SnD is considered a finishing move still right?

plucky nymph
#

Yessir.

#

I can easily see 2/2 Murder and 5/5 Lethality being better for Daggers.

bleak hill
#

gotcha ok/ the way u break it down makes a helluva lot of sense, much appreciated for the time u guys are giving me. its helping alot over here

plucky nymph
#

NP

bleak hill
#

why would i want 2 points in improved sinister strike for a dagger build.....instead of putting 2 points in improved gouge?

shadow tapir
#

Sometimes you have to SS

#

But I always do Imp SS and gouge

#

Do have to pvp sometimes even in raid spec

bleak hill
#

as well i almost feel like the 2 extra points into lightnight reflex for 5/5 would be better than the 2 points in Endurance...

shadow tapir
#

oh no endurance is very nice

hazy dune
#

i have vis'kag mh, mirah's song oh, it's not worth replacing mirah's song with corehound tooth as sword spec, is it?

drowsy phoenix
#

it's worth giving the CHT to a dagger rogue

hushed laurel
#

(or a tank with ACLGs :P)

bleak hill
#

hmmm im almost thinking double del rends is a better set than Felstriker + Distracting Daggers, after switching to Combat daggers and trying them out. They only major difference is I have double crusader enchant on dels and i dont have any enchants on felstrike or Distracting dagger........but i wonder if crusader would account for 50+ DPS missing...

hazy dune
#

all our dagger rogues have CHT, i got it because im the top rogue for ranking @drowsy phoenix

drowsy phoenix
#

I mean just play daggers, evolve your mind

hazy dune
#

my only other dagger is gutgore ripper, no thanks

signal ember
#

Get bonescraper then

#

or distracting dagger

hazy dune
#

i don't wanna play daggers lmao. i was just asking if corehound tooth was worth equipping in my offhand over mirah's song

#

I'm doing fine as swords

drowsy phoenix
#

gutgore isnt bad in MH

tough pilot
#

Why do people think gutgore is bad. It's not that far behind.

drowsy phoenix
#

the real reason is it can hog a debuff slot but who cares about what your casters think

hazy dune
#

yeah the debuff slot is my concern.

drowsy phoenix
#

but tbh who cares

#

it stab

shadow tapir
#

Its a weapon effect though, gets pushed off pretty easily

old stone
#

CHT was a decent upgrade over mirahs for me, I play a gnome, should still be a slight upgrade for a human

chrome sandal
#

what poisons should be used as sword spec the BRD solo farm?

bleak hill
#

Does gear prio change slightlightly when usin dagger combat compared to sword combat? i feel like maybe utilizing certain pieces like a riphook instead of satyrs bow, or like a Painweaver band in replace for one of the Trings. with full prebis 6pc t0 +2 piece devilsaur, i sit at 11% hit having the satyr and double trings on.

11% hit/26.6%crit chance/678 AP.........

with 1 PW band and the riphook it puts me at ......

9% hit/27% crit/698 AP......

plucky nymph
hazy dune
#

reset the market. ranking made me spend more gold than i wanted

hidden basin
#

why tf are mobs getting out of sap prematurely without me hitting them?!

plucky nymph
#

Because Sap isn't a set time.

tough pilot
#

Heartbeat mechanic

hidden basin
#

Oh it says up to 45 seconds...

#

So it can be up to 45 seconds, but it doesn't mean it has to go the full duration

#

So sometimes it's like 15 seconds?

#

The more you know

tough pilot
#

Yup it's just rng

wind lantern
#

Where is the lvling weapon MH list thing?

bleak hill
#

wth are other classes using to see me in stealth? im constantly being spotted and opened on while im in stealth. especially tryna get through brd

#

its like they beeline right for me especially the mages. I cant tell you how many times i get opened on a rogue, WHILE IM IN STEALTH, AND I NEVER EVEN SAW HIM UNTIL HE OPENED ON ME>......

#

not sure what they doing but i need to figure it out rofl

spark raptor
#

Catseye goggles or something

#

They give a ton of stealth detection

#

+maybe they use catseye elixir

bleak hill
#

@spark raptor tyy

vapid bone
#

finally can speak lol

#

ive also noticed that @bleak hill and while some people do run Catseye and Goggles, and im sure im feeling a personal bias but its like I may as not even be in stealth

#

Im using the Sap macro to get the opener, hasnt worked 1x, its like other rogues just walk up and sap me while in stealth and i rarely see them, very odd

tough pilot
#

Can only be a few things that's giving them edge. Engineer, human racial, talents, or just better at finding a stealthy than their opponent.

plucky nymph
#

@bleak hill Also if you don't have Master of Deception stealth is very very bad.

vapid bone
#

@tough pilot hell thats one thing that struck me as add, IM human and pop perception, and they STILL see me before I do

#

its like the models dont load fast enough for some, so odd to have an active perception and get cheap shot out of stealth by an orc rogue i never saw 2 feet from me

#

but people are running stealth boots and yes, have master of deception which I do not

#

fucking respec costs i cant really flop back and forth

tough pilot
#

Oh if you don't have master of deception that's the key to the puzzle right there

vapid bone
#

its bc im missing MoD, i just dont like to admit it

#

^^

#

cant be hemo bc of raids and both weapon sets are pissing me off lol

tough pilot
#

Yeah Respec costs eat you alive. I just pick pocket farm majority of my time lol

vapid bone
#

I have Thrash / Mirahs with Sader /Sader

#

and Perd / Bonescraper with +5 and +4

#

everyone says combat daggers are best since i have Rag Dag but im not seeing it so far

tough pilot
#

Hmm yeah you should def be doing a lot with perds as combat dagger. Maybe your rotation is smoother atm when you play swords vs daggers? Only thing I can think of.

plucky nymph
#

The DMG potential is higher in 1min fights but if you're not lucky then you're not lucky, most if not all assumptions on Combat Daggers vs. Swords are done with full world buffs as well.

#

Pick what you like, play that, there's no point getting bent out of shape over it.

tough pilot
#

The truth right there. A lot of it comes down to buffs and rng crits :0

plucky nymph
#

There are plenty of fights where I get a singular Crusader proc and I just stare at my hands... wondering where I went wrong... WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!!?!

marsh wyvern
#

Ss right after MH swing and keep snd up 99.9% of the time and cross your butt cheeks

plucky nymph
marsh wyvern
#

I found with sc 6p the more I kept snd goin the more procs I got of course xD

plucky nymph
#

The better the guild the worse 6pcT0 becomes, still fun in the dungeons though πŸ˜„

vapid bone
#

ya the daggers on paper seem better, real world exp is just not there

#

positional factors, threat factors due to the multiplier on ambush and backstab being so high

plucky nymph
vapid bone
#

so i end up having to wait longer then other specs to DPS, and depending on the boss or the position, sometimes you just cant backstab and you suffer huge dps losses, or you have to run out from AOE fire dmg, stuff like that.

#

Swords seem way easier since the threat mod is lower no position needed etc. Ill keep trying things but overall the respec costs stop that

#

im @ 50g cap now, so basically every respec is 100g that i dont have

plucky nymph
#

You still need to be behind the target as swords, if you're in front you might as well be relying on being lucky.

vapid bone
#

why would you say that

#

glancing blows?

#

if I can get Dalrend MH or Viskagg ill stay to swords bc its just fucking easier

#

if I can get the DM dagger or CHT or GGR then ill maybe maybe stay daggers, just harder to farm solo as daggers

plucky nymph
#

Rogue solo farming doesn't usually involve KILLING things though.

vapid bone
#

i like to double down myself, I just have a pickpocket into garrote macro, doesnt add much time in BRD and you do get some good drops, relative

#

few healing pots, 2-3 greens, random stuff to sell, the 12 min pickpocket runs get boring and you get locked out in like 1.5 hours, but thats just where i like to farm

#

I like to find a fast respawn of humanoids, pick, garrote macro so it takes a bit longer, no waitintg for respawn, no instance lockout if farming like SM or something, but then again im bad at farming and dont even have 100g to myname, nor a mount

#

been 60 loong time too lol

#

the shit never sells on AH, i have zero clue how some people have 1000's of gold

#

i know its nothing special but i like a clean UI, figured id post here, guild seemed to like it. I do have some WA stuff that is not seen

shadow tapir
#

Looks pretty good

#

Most people who make money play their professions in classic

#

A lot to make off of them unlike retail

vapid bone
#

im alch herb, which i always was in retial, but dang, not having epic mount and all the good spots are so so PVP covered

#

not to complain i just need to suck it up and rogue better

#

but nobody seems to be buying flasks or elixirs much, not really needed since DPS is so high nowaways vs 15 yrs ago

shadow tapir
#

Herbing itself doesn’t seem like it makes much anymore no

#

But I’ve bought mats and had someone make pots and stuff for a profit even with tip

#

So maybe look into that

plucky nymph
bleak hill
#

need to figure out how to make 50 quick gold outside of BRD real quick. i fucked up my spec and i cant even down the bosses now >.<

#

i misclicking and didnt take the point in coldblood

drowsy phoenix
#

ah right fishing skill involves crit

#

so you can bump 4% crit with aquadynamic attractors or whatevs

hidden basin
#

@bleak hill 2 hours in Tyr's Hand might cut it.

#

Just PP and kill the elites there.

#

Do you guys think you can achieve rank 13 on a huge server with just semi-casual gameplay?

#

Or do you need to be extremely hardcore for months?

shadow tapir
#

Guess it depends on the population but I would say its unlikely

#

Have you been in the higher brackets the last two weeks?

maiden cave
#

@hidden basin that would not be easy dude, rank 13 is a real time commitment for the last 2-3 weeks at least

hidden basin
#

Guess we regular folk will need to wait for the big ballers to reach their ranks and stop playing ranked PvP in order for us to enter the brackets.

maiden cave
#

I mean, you may just want to aim for something a bit more...realistic

#

r12 is doable in many ways, but r13 is a step beyond that

hidden basin
#

Yeah. I was just wondering whether it's possible for later in the cycle.

#

If not then it's alright. I'm more of a PVE guy anyway and don't want to spend that much time grinding.

#

So will push as much as I can without that much pressure.

maiden cave
#

having a great premade is a big deal too, once BGs are out

#

it cuts down the time needed by a huge amount if you can chain out 100% wins

#

and really fast games

bleak hill
#

^this guy has no clue what hes talking about rofl. Hes one if the biggest shit talking bots I've met in game. Take anything this guy says with a grain of salt wether right or wrong cuz 99% of the time hes talking out his ass

#

@hidden basin only a certain amoumt of people can be in each rank, so it depends on population of server and how much someone is grinding. Casual players wont make it to 11+ because thats where all the elites are and the brackets will be filled. If you played hardcore youd have a shot but based off your described playstyle id cross it off now and just aim for r10
Thats alot more of a manageable goal

#

Ideally this is how rank system works in a short bio ....

(1) kill other faction player and win battleground to get honor points

(2) at the end of the week, there will be a ranking of the player in your faction based on who got the more honor points during that week

(3) the top 0.2% of the player will be in the first tier of reward and get 12'000 rank points (not to be confused with honor point) then the next tier (which is between 0.2 and 0.7%) will receive 11'000 rank points, then the next tier 10'000 rank points, etc

(5) to get to rank 14 you must get 60'000 rank points (rank 13 - 55'000, rank 12 - 50'000)

(6) each week you decay 20% of your current rank points

#

.....

So lets say yoy were rank 10 which is 40k ranking points, you can see the word "ranking" with amount next to it in your character page under honor tab. Every week youd decay 8k ranking points every week. So to maintain a rank 10, u would need to be in the top like 5-10% of the pvprs every week to stay at 40k or above.

#

Pvp is a serious grind, not just once you get a rank but just to keep it. Because the higher the rank, the more the decay, the better you gotta do every week to stabalize it. I usually peak at r8 and i float there

#

Heres an example i found that kinda breaks it down in a literal view

@@hidden basin is Β rank 5 because he has a total of 15'000 rank point at the beginning of the week. You play like a madman all week and get 16k honor. your next week you will have 15'000 (total before) - 3'000 (decay) + 13'000 (total of the week) so: 25'000 rank point and youd reach rank 7

#

Now the following week you do the same thing. Cap out your honor at 16k, get max bonus rankin points. Youd go to 33,000 ranking and be r8. 25k - 5k decay + 13k rankin from honor for the week.

So the next week u had to go on vacation or were sick or w.e. and couldnt play as much. You only got 4k honor, and only got like 3,000 ranking ( this is an estimate cuz rankin is awarded by what percentage of population you fell into with your honor. Its not based directly off the honor itself. ) you would have 33,000 ranking (week before) - 6,600 (decay) + 3,000 ranking. Your new total would be 29,400 ranking and youd be deranked to rank 7.

So just remember the higher the rank the more your gonna be required to play

#

And just cuz u reached a rank doesnt mean you get to keep the title. You gotta earn your place every single week. You stop playing and you just go back down the boards

#

Hope this helped you or anyone else a little confused about the exact way rankings for pvp work.

Anyone else having the issue that the Kidney Shot duration gets bugged out after using another ability during Kidney Shot? So I can't see when it ends... And is there a fix to this? I've tried disabling every single addon but WA, and tried disabling every single addon but ClassicAuraDurations and it's a problem both times

spark raptor
#

yes very good summary+examples

#

just look at ks on the action bar :p

trail jasper
#

Yeah... That's a pretty good solution but it just annoys me because I see multiple streams where they don't have the issue so surely there must be a fix πŸ˜…

spark raptor
#

it's a WA? try up/downgrading maybe

trail jasper
#

It's not a/the WA - All other addons that track the time of it fails as well.. It seems to be an issue within the game

#

When I have all addons but ClassicAuraDurations disabled it also fucks it up.. 😦

spark raptor

Yah maybe just have 1 addon do it mate

It’s a shame it’s broken 🀣

Mine haven’t rolled over from yesterday.

@spark raptor You're completely missing the point... Even when I have disabled all addons but 1 SINGLE addon to track enemy debuff timers - it still fucks it up, and I've tried 1 SINGLE addon of different kinds to see if it was the addons... But you don't have a solution so just nevermind... I'll try and see if I can find someone who knows what the matter is and maybe how to fix it πŸ™‚

tough pilot

Yeah a lot of the 18+ hour grinders on my server are losing their minds with the hk system atm. People are losing hks left and right and blizzard has known about it for over a week now? At least that's when they came out with the first response.

just dont be so hardcore

bleak saddle
#

Heartseeker or Scarlet kris or even Alcors as offhand pre raid as combat swords if everyone is free? and dagger offhand due to lack of swords. please help me clarify things.

#

faster for poisen i would think but tons of ppl running around with offhands in the 1.80 speed so im just confused

#

*poison

maiden cave
#

why are you not just using mirah's song

bleak saddle
#

its 1,80 speed from what ive herd its the poison procs thats matters as in as fast offhand as possible, its more dps then the xtra sword proc. ive herd that is thats what im asking.

fair carbon
#

If you’re sword specialization, using a dagger is completely wrong. Mirah’s Song is a Pre-BiS weapon so go with it.

bleak saddle
#

thx for the input guys

plucky nymph
#

Eventually you're probably gonna have an OH that's 2.00 or slower >_> for a long time.

spark raptor
#

mirah's song until zg sword inc

deep prawn
#

whats the deal with sword of the zeal isnt it basicly as good around as dalrend / krol blade ? just on this realm at least way cheaper than krol blade and dont need 100urbs run to get either

plucky nymph
#

Sure if you take NOTHING ELSE INTO ACCOUNT, it's good.

deep prawn
#

just checking spread sheet in general and was kinda curious

plucky nymph
#

Rends set is worth it.

#

You will use it until you have Viskag+BB

deep prawn
#

for sure

cedar jewel
#

You will use the rend set until you have either brut blade or vis’kagg, you replace it way earlier than waiting for both

ionic compass
#

I guess rends set is worth if you dont inted to raid. The time investment running UBRS to get just abit better weapons than krol/zeal and Mirahs aint worth in my perspective when you will replace mainhand quite soon depending your raids luck and composition. Time investment aint bad if you still run ubrs with your guild daily, but if you try to get into groups solo or form them, its waste of time imo.

plucky nymph
#

Rends is a much better rate than raid drops, skipping them is not smart.

tough pilot
#

Lol our guild has seen 0 brutality blades and 1 viskag. If your intentions are hoping a raid weapon drops, may it better luck than our guilds.

plucky nymph
#

Viskag is like a 5% drop rate >_>

shadow tapir
#

We have had tons of perds though

#

Regretted brutality blade real fast

ionic compass
#

Yea. They are more accesible than raid drops, but still dont feel like they are needed. Krol/zeal and mirahs do the trick at the molten core and personally I didnt want to spend hours trying to get into pugs as rogue. Ran it with guild and saw like one mainhand and one offhand. Ran +30 times it so decided its better to just invest some money and ditch that place. Seen one brutalityblade , viskag, 5-6 perds and 3 cht.

plucky nymph

Okay.

but that just my opinnion about spending the time

you could probably dump those ruthlessness points into lethality and improved kick

I like having imp sap for pvp, I'm at work but I'll try and link my build

teal jetty
#

this is more for BGs

signal ember
plucky nymph
#

seemsFine

signal ember
#

imp sap is extremely valuable to have as it could turn the tide of the battle by removing one of the player prior from the fight, imp sprint make it dealing with mage easier by removing slow/nova from sprinting and could save vanish to cancel out pyro or frostbolt, dirty deeds would reduce the cost of CS which could help setup control better as well.

#

Not taking imp sprint as daggers basically mean that you're only looking into a duel type of the fight and BGs won't be the place for that.

teal jetty
#

what would be the Best spec for daggers in BGs

plucky nymph
#

The above one is fine.

#

Imp Sprint is just too important, even if you are Flag Room defending.

#

If you're in an organized group for WSG you probably don't need it as you shouldn't be dealing with mages to begin with.

signal ember
#

imp sap could seems to be useless in AV but if you're a rogue, you should be attempting to capping towers/GY and imp sap can keep the solo enemy from taking the towers/GY back as well.

plucky nymph
#

Yeah even if you are backcapping it's still good.

signal ember
#

or at least give you an advantage if there's two defenders heading your way to take back their points

plucky nymph
#

Probably get more into MoD+Camo for that though.

#

Getting caught is doodoo. Heightened Senses^^^

signal ember
#

Looking forward to easy win as ally in AV, we got bridge and Horde got...well nothing as we can jump in their base.

#

Yeah, well I think the camo makes up with the speed for it imo.

plucky nymph
#

Meant HS not Camo, I do that literally all of the time.

#

It's difficult taking heghtened senses when its only purpose is to catch rogues/druids, its feasible in TBC because we get more points.

I just put in one point into vile to get CB, rather to have the chance to resist dispel than having more chance getting poison on.

Could ditch Ruthlessness for 4/5 vile however which would be more reasonable in BGs.

Yeah you really don't need ALL of the crit.

Two solid builds for BGs to consider.

Daggers build, I'd advise running https://classic.wowhead.com/talent-calc/rogue/305020105-320302002-15005303030012
You're basically going to be more consistent burst overtime, having two more snare removal with imp sprint and not having to rely on CB for big chunk of damage but in return, you're losing easy combo point generator and slightly less control as hemo cost is almost half of backstab.
Fair trade solid IMO.

If you're running hemo sword, I'd advise running https://classic.wowhead.com/talent-calc/rogue/305020105401-3-500253000332121
It's your typical world pvp build for world pvp but still has uses in BGs as you would focus more on controlling players with a 2 mins burst CD, ideally used on FC for killing it in WSG or taking out a healer. The only downfall to this build is that you would have to blow your vanish for snare removal.

Between mirah and CHT which of them would serve better as an off hand? (in a regular raiding combat sword build)

Sword.

Not until AQ with more crit.

@raven snow CHT is better DPS if you're non-Human

even when combat sword specced

(but obviously BB is better than CHT)

CHT is better dps period

i have sick daggers, still feel like swords is better.

It's not.

how much is needed as sword rogue?

plucky nymph
#

How much BALLS? or hit?

opal wagon
#

oh hehe, i mean hit

hushed laurel
#

9% hit is the basic level you need as that means your yellows never miss. 27% (i think?) hit is what you need for your OH whites to never miss, but thats mostly irrelevant. with the weapon skill talent, you only need 6% chance to hit, and with the hit % talent, you need 1% chance to hit. youll go over that, but thats ok

opal wagon
#

Ok confuseing

hushed laurel
#

what race are you?

plucky nymph
#

Ξ”Defense/Skill = Difference between your Weapon Skill and the targets Defense Skill
Any target has +5 Defense per Level, bosses being Level 63 means they have 315 Defense Skill

hushed laurel
#

to make it maximum simple: 6% if you have 2 points in weapon expertise or are a human, 9% otherwise. any extra is just extra

atm i have 11%

For raid gear no, for pre-BiS lots of it is optional.

is there a way to get combo points on name plates in classic? just messing around right now...did a quick search didn't find much

signal ember
#

The AV ring is pretty solid

#

ap, crit and hit

hushed basin
#

I did some spreadsheet stuff and got these numbers with SC 6 piece and an availible BiS list. Since Combat Rogues have a 6% hit cap, I'm trying to replace the gear that has +Hit chance for +crit, ap or agi & str. Am I on the right track here? Even If I did a 6pc SC, once I get a piece of gear to replace one of the items, I lose the 6pc bonus, so the whole thing is pretty much a moot point isn't it?

hushed basin
#

But I guess another theory is that if you have greater than yellow damage hit cap, your white damage will hit more often. You cant crit a white damage if it never has the opportunity to do so. Wouldn't high hit chances and weapon expertise vs ability hit cap and max crit and AP both work out to be about the same damage output either way since they're both super good at compensating in opposite ways?

plucky nymph
#

What kinda answer are you trying to get here? As there are a few questions being asked here @hushed basin

raven snow
#

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong at any point, but as you pointed out one of the major flaws with Shadowcraft is the number of pieces required to achieve the energy refund bonus and that upgrades will quickly break the set. There are alternatives to Shadowcraft that you can use that will net you similar, or close to, stat results while avoiding the set bonus concerns.

#

But the reason the high hit build is recommended is in part due to World buffs.

plucky nymph
#

Upgrades aren't upgrades if you do less damage due to breaking the set.

#

The problem is that fights last under 1min and trash clear speeds don't matter to basically anyone.

#

So while the proc is powerful it runs into the same issue as Hand of Justice, that getting 0-2 extra attacks doesn't equate to much.

Yeah due to tanks getting knocked back and dropping threat + taunt resists you might just get creamed going back into melee.

ohhhhh

gotcha

so i should save vanish for that

right?

plucky nymph

He will probably still smash you.

#

You don't need to be inside him to melee, so stay as far away as possible and force yourself out of melee range.

ocean parrot
#

oh ok sounds good. Thanks for all the tips miz!

plucky nymph
#

np GL

signal ember
#

Rag is like the easiest fight if you can beat the dps check before the sons.

#

Shazzah is easier because as melee, you don't need to do a damn thing and just bandage people.

we do the chad strat on rag and all melee stay in

We don't care enough about our rag kill time so we have melee walk out. Adds like... 20 seconds or whatever, ohno.

#

so where can i find some in depth research already done where someone is doing MC (future BWL) with Seal of Fate vs Combat daggers when sitting on 30% unbuffed crit?

neon juniper
#

thats exactly what im trying to find

#

for a seal fate build would it be better to put my last point in duel wield spec or dagger spec

#

Im thinking daggers for that extra crit

plucky nymph
#

@signal ember Pfffffffft, our Shazz kill is pure unga bunga, shaman spamming chain heal, melee using resto pots, mages decursing politics

#

The last time I checked on Seal Fate, you need to have 100% uptime on 30%+ Crit and be @ hit cap or over.

past violet
#

i am all the above mizerok. i hear that it is only really better from phase 4. but noone has any evidence or anything that shows me if its good/bad now.

plucky nymph
#

Encounters are super short now, so something as inherently streaky as Crit means it could function very well now but it can also be entirely hit/miss.

#

But I don't think you are going to sabotage yourself by doing so really.

hidden basin
#

Well, the bis items for this phase lose hit rating.

#

What's the hit minimum? 9%?

plucky nymph
#

There's still a billion hit

#

Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

Basically until you are DONE getting gear.

hidden basin

You barely have any hit with bis gear

plucky nymph

Will check it later as I reeeeeeeally don't care atm.

Then it's not BiS :3

You have enough.

I see that with full bis gear you get 7% hit?

You will probably have less HIT than you have now, but you can have like... 12% now very easily.

Which is way too many when you could have Crit or AGI or AP over it.

Yeah it's a surplus of hit

plucky nymph
#

There's just no options atm as the stat scaling isn't properly stupid.

true

14% haha

what a silly comment

#

+hit % is a dmg increase too just like other stats are

#

@hidden basin 6% hit is minimum if you have 305 Weapon Skill, 9% if you have 300 (don't have 300 Weapon Skill)

signal ember
#

You can pick up 2% hit trinket from rogue DM tome quest and two 15+ agi 1% hit ring in tribute. Tada, you're hit capped for seal date build.

plucky nymph
#

@maiden cave That's nice, but hit suffers in "weights" against other options if there were those options. 12% is way too high over the hit requirements if there were options otherwise.

I state this in literally my next comment.

#

AND EVEN IF we had dumb scaling, there's still very few options and hit isn't shit so we happily take it.

#

The only oddity there is at the moment due to scaling and options is Corehound Tooth.
