I have raided with Commitment in the past. He might be able to vouch for me somewhat.

Kyle

Hey!

Your setup seems fine, few questions though. You seem to have DBW ( Death Bringers Will), why not give combat a go? You have a few arp pieces. Your Professions seem to be a bit weak Engineering is awesome but Herbalism is nice for the hot but other then that i dont see it being all that great. Other then that we do have 3 full time rogues sure not to sure of much of a raid spot you would have, other then that good luck on your app

[Pulak]

I'm going to have to take an opposite stance to dulity on this one. Why do you have blue gems in near every piece for socket bonus? The extra stam does not outweigh the extra dps from putting in one tear in the best bonus and ignoring the rest of the bonus for red/yellow gems. As well, although its more nitpicky, 38 AP on bracers instead of 50 ap. Why?

[Bosocks]

Haha, Jan and I went our separate ways Commitment. I was thinking about dropping herbing but I just enjoy farming on my rogue. Not a big deal to level something else that might be more beneficial.

I have play combat if there are situations where there is a lot of target switching, but overall I prefer Assassination, I seem to be able to get into a better rotation and I always do more overall damage on bosses in Mutilate.

Thanks guys.

[Bosocks]

I have the 50AP on the bracers, it had slipped through the cracks and I literally found it earlier today when I was giving everything a go over again. The only reason I ever had 38AP must of been due to being in a hurry to get them equipped and into a raid when a scroll for 50 was not available. The armory hasn't updated. I also have the tier 10 legs now. The dreadstone gems I chose are the second highest in MAEP behind the tear for a blue slot. You will have to forgive my armory not being updated since the faction change.

Second highest ep, but you're still losing out versus outright ignoring the socket bonus for all but one. Take boots for example, 2 sockets, red and blue. bonus of 6 agi. I'll assume haste is near 2 ep, agi just under, for arguments sake we'll put it at 2 as well. as you have it, you're getting 60 AP and 6 agi, for 72 EP, versus 80 AP flat out. I'm rather curious because you'd put in that your gear setup was for max AP, when it definitely is not 150 hp will not save you from a strict enrage timer, but 8 AP on every piece of gear will help sway the odds

Okay, I see where you are going with this, you will have to forgive me, my brain isn't firing on all cylinders tonight. lol. I appreciate you showing me a different approach to it.

Alright. one last one from me, I promise. I see overall 28 agi gained from keeping those blues, 8 of which would still be kept putting a nightmare tear in your chest to cover meta. This comes nowhere close to 6% crit you're talking about, unless you're talking about some major gear swaps along with the gem changes.

I was messed up in looking at overall socket bonuses. I did the tear in the chest to maintain the bonus, changed the bracers to a 40ap, the boots to both 40ap and the blue in the belt to 40ap and the neck to a 40ap gem picking up 80AP at the cost of 20 agi. Should I stick with my AP+Haste gems or go ahead and replace any one that already has a socket bonus broken with a 40ap gem?

[Pulak]

That all depends on your gear, a spreadsheet will be able to tell you which is better, although realistically haste will be anywhere from 1.9-2.1 EP, so either or will only be a 1 EP above or below the other. If you've already got ap/haste might as well stick with those, 1 EP (potentially less) isnt worth 200g in my opinion.

Yeah, I was just weighing the EP's on them. I think you are right, won't pick up enough to justify spending 1500g, lol.

Thanks again Pulak, I appreciate it. Night all!

[Pulak]

Night, and good luck with your app

Rogue police not quite, its my job however to make sure that if someone is going to take my raidspot they're up to the task. Last thing anyone wants is a shadyjanitor in their 25 mans.

Well I for one am glad I applied, this is part of the reason I am looking for a serious guild. I hadn't be able to find someone who knew what they were talking about or had an opinion that could be considered valid. It is hard to theorycraft with a rogue who isn't even expertise capped.

[Bosocks]

For some reason my armory link still hasn't updated since I faction changed to Horde, hopefully it will after server maintenance tomorrow. If anyone wants to inspect me in game feel free to contact me.

LOL Pulak that was a sneaky jab at Dev. I love it!
Good luck on your app Bosocks

[Bosocks]
