Just FYI the enchants you have up are mostly wrong since 150 is the max enchanting you can get. a lot of your recipes are 200+ like 3 agi to cloak 2 stats chest etc...

Hey, you're spot on, you can expect an update to this coming here in the next day or so.

Sergeant's Cloak > Cape of the Brotherhood

6 agi from CotB = 6 AP, ~.207% crit chance

vs

4 agi 4 str from Sergeant's Cloak = 8 AP, ~.138% crit chance

2 AP > .069% crit chance

Is the combat rogue DPS build supposed to show Improved Backstab instead of Improved Sinister Strike? The same build is shown for the leveling combat rogue build, while using Mutilate. Very confusing. Is it the wrong build shown?

Hey Fest! So Mutilate benefits from all the talents that modify Mutilate, hence taking Improved Backstab since the guide recommends Mutilate for leveling. Fun fact, talents that improve Sinister Strike will also impact Saber Slash. I hope this answers your question.

Partly, however the guide tells us to use Mutilate and not Saber Slash, so to improve sinister strike while the main attack is Mutilate is confusing 🙂

I totally misunderstood your original comment - I apologize for this. Yeah, this was an oversight on my part - the points you see in improved Sinister Strike are intended for Improved Backstab/an extra point in the dodge chance to get to the next tier of talents as you won't really be casting Sinister Strike especially with the addition of the new Rune broker. You should see this updated to reflect this soon.
