I knew you got excited about Rogues, but this is new! ;D

It's the main reason I played from Vanilla up until about SoO hit. I did some casual raiding in TBC (Kara runs then tried Evasion tanking Gruul cause it seemed like fun), and filled in for my brother's guild when they needed a healer in Heroic ICC, but didn't really start raiding seriously until the end of ToT / SoO

So confused. I have footpads and CoF trinket for Vendetta CD. Should I use all three MA relics or just two MA and one Gushing Wound? I see Flurty carries all three MA, but they are insanely high ilvl is maybe why? I'm just trying to be sure I go the best route.

Also if anyone has any suggestions on things such as when to pool energy and so on I'd appreciate that. I am using the opener from the site here and don't have a second DPS legendary which hurts, footpads and neck currently, but I still feel like I'm leaving a lot of DPS on the table somewhere.

If you can provide logs and head over to the Rogue Forums, I'll be glad to give you a hand and see if there's any advice I can give.

As for your relics, it wouldn't surprise me if with CoF and the boots that Vendetta becomes your best relic. The uptimes you can get with it are pretty ridiculous

Mantle is much better than any legendary according to all the many logs I have compared via warcraftlogs.com. Not sure how you guys are missing that.

Hey, I don't believe Entwined Elemental Foci from Spellblade Aluriel is mentioned on the trinket list.

Is it any good?

Yes, it is good....particularly on aoe fights where it is much better than draught.

It does actually include this in the Legendaries and BiS section

The best combination of legendary items for most raid encounters is currently Duskwalker's Footpads Icon Duskwalker's Footpads + Mantle of the Master Assassin Icon Mantle of the Master Assassin.

Hi everyone! Quick question: are the stat weights in the DPS guide already assuming a base amount of crit and/or haste? I've been messing around and was wondering if I should try to maintain a minimum level of crit/haste and THEN go off the stat weights? Like is 25% crit and 3% haste ok to have if you just stacked mastery up to let's say 150%?

We are currently in the process of updating our guides in preparation for the release of 7.2 - please understand that we will not be answering questions in this section about "What is better for 7.2?" prior to the patch release, since all the information will be available when the patch goes live. Please be patient and thanks for waiting!

Stat weights as a rule are just guidelines. You should regularly Sim your character to figure out which stat will give you the most benefit at any given time.

For example, if you have 150% Mastery and 15% Crit, Crit is going to be more important for you to get so you can reliably generate CPs. Given that Haste really doesn't provide much benefit for Sin, you generally shouldn't care about it much at all.

hey guys, why is Nightstalker better than Subterfuge?

 

My Bleed does with 5 CPS overall 935k dmg and my garrote does 438k.

Extra dmg from bleed: 0,5*935k is about 475k

Extra dmg from garrote 1,25*438k is about 550k

And for cleave-opener the bonus from multiple garrotes are even higher.

 

Pls correct me, where im wrong :P

You use Vanish to get an extra 50% damage on Rupture. Use Rupture to break stealth, and it will do 50% extra damage for the entire duration.

yes, sure. but subterfuge does this aswell, but with garrote (not rupture), or am i wrong? and its not a 50% dmg increase, but a 125% dmg increase. So you would vanish and then garrote to get extra garrote damage instead?! :D

Rupture does a lot more damage. A lot more.

Just to add to Carrn's comment about Rupture vs. Garrote, Rupture can deal up over double the damage of Garrote, sometimes even more on AoE fights. It's a massive difference. Check any Rogue's logs on WarcraftLogs and you can see what I mean.

Last sims show that 3 MA relics are superior for most cases now as it gives best dps gain .

 

Source: relics spreadsheet

This still depends on fight length, as the spreadsheet says - there are times when MA could make no difference at all. I'll pass this on to Furty nonetheless! Thanks for the link :)

I use a slight different opener. This one doing some more damage.

1. Garrote via stealth.

2. Mutilate until 5 cp.

3. Envenom. I use it earlier to stack Agonizing Venom as soon as possible. See why (9).

4. Kings Bane. 

5. Mutilate. If you lacking of energy simple tap your Vendetta. Or you can simple get more Critical Strike to feel combos faster.

7. Vendetta. Casting Vendetta right before rupture is important thing to do. All the ticks of Rupture will get 30% extra damage so that means that you can also apply Rupture right before Vendetta is coming out.

8. Vanish.

9. Rupture. Agonizing Venom also provides extra damage, that's why i used (3) Envenom so early.

And eventually my Rupture's damage was seen at ~1kk.

Also this opener will take more time so don't use if your target is gonna die soon.

P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

Not applying Rupture early means you lose out on a few things, but most importantly a longer Rupture (due to the Pandemic effect) that is buffed by the bonus damage that it gets after you Vanish.

Hello. If this has already been an addressed topic and I missed it I apologize in advance. I was just curious what was a good target Ilvl/Stat metric before I switch from a EP/Exsang build to playing MP/AP? I run SImcraft but I was hoping some Veterans or experts could guide me in an ideal target goal. thank you!

Pretty early on these days, maybe once you're in the 860s (ish) and rocking at least 5-6k Mastery.

      Im playing rogue assa in cata classic and after read some guide I don't understand some things about stats. 
      I know as a rogue assa I have to priories hit rating until the spell hit cap of 17% (1332 if I remember) but i dont understand how to manage other stats like mastery and haste/crit or expertise. 
      Did I have to put full mastery ? and reforge all the crit chance, expertise and reforge haste at least ? Or did I have to balance mastery and haste ?
      Can someone help me to understand in wich ordre and priority I have to manage stats as Assa Rogue in wow cata classic ?

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

    • By Starym
      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.
