Peelyon 416 Report post Posted June 29, 2012 So noone else wants the legendary in my guild so I'm trying to lol play on my rogue! Finally getting some half decent PvE gear (I herbed from 80-85 and then just got PvP gear at 85, lame I know). Wanting to know should I be using Expose Armor (assuming there is no-one else in the group with any other armour debuffs). Please dont hate me, I'm a healer normally ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damien 1,514 Report post Posted June 29, 2012 Keeping Expose Armor up is very penalising for a Rogue. I imagine you're playing your alt in a 10-man group, otherwise it would be odd that your group has no Balance Druid, no Hunter, and no Warrior. Expose Armor will cause the boss to take approximately 5% more physical damage. So, it's just a matter of whether the 5% more damage that every physical DPS does on the boss outweighs you losing a lot of DPS to maintain the debuff.

HardBeatZ 39 Report post Posted June 29, 2012 As Damien mentioned all other classes that can bring the debuff can do so much cheaper than a rogue. In raid situations a rogue should never have to use expose armor. Bring a class (the ones previously mentioned) to bring the debuff and stick to your normal rotation. I'd suggest something like raidcomp.mmo-champion.com to see what classes bring what buffs/debuffs to ensure you get all important ones. I'd also recommend icy veins developing a similar tool....but that's another conversation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The question now is when will we have free time? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peelyon 416 Report post Posted June 30, 2012 Yeah its literally an "lol" run of a Wednesday with alts, green geared, randomers within our guild just to lol the content. Very few druids or warriors around so was wondering if it was worth the effort! Just to clarify its just for physical dps? Theres hardly any melee in the group!

Damien 1,514 Report post Posted June 30, 2012 Yes, spells are not affected by armor reduction mechanics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We call that a Death Run & it was traditionally held on a friday. Now it's a Thursday. They made me heal once I didn't know if it was New York or New Year (the main issue ofc was it was spine).
