Rogues' room

[akora]

I would like to suggest that the hemorage Rogues coordinate their Hemorage strikes in our raiding. This can be an effective DPS tool.

[Utsusemi]

something else to think about is Kindey shot, any rogues that have imp KS all damage done to the stunned target is increased by up to 9% from ALL sources this includes magic and Melee. now granted most of the mobs in MC as immune but there are some that aren't.

1. What spec are you and why?

I think it was 0/11/0, because my Rogue is still leveling up to 60, and combat is a great leveling tree for fledgling Rogues, until higher levels where the higher talent point numbers can allow for some diversity and effective talent builds.

Though I haven't leveled her up to 60 yet, I plan on making my build look like this, because it focuses on building up combo points and burst damage, pretty much a pvp build. If I decide to do more raiding than PvP, I'll do something original and copy Zlinka's build. >_>;;

2. Do you prefer dagger, sword, mace, or fist weapon spec, and why?

Daggers. Most Rogues will often use daggers alot more than anything else since it gives access to some of the more useful Rogue talents, and dagger spec gives +5% crit chance while using them. Fist weapon spec isn't bad and there are descent fist weapons, but as said, the daggers give access to more useful talents. Mace and Sword spec are kind of useless with a 1/20 chance to stun or get a free hit, though the +5 mace spec is slightly more helpful than sword spec.

3. Keeping in mind the instances that we are raiding, what weapons and armor do you want to collect for yourself?

Tier 0, .5, and 1so far, and definitely some good Rogue weapons.

4. I have a slew of extra / back-up / resist armor and 2 weapons for each spec in my bank, are you the same way or not?

I'll keep PvP armor, raiding armor (PvE and resists), probably a few extra weapons since variety is good, and I'll definitely keep a few extra trinkets and finger items.

I guess it is about time I get around to posting about this finally. Sooo lets drop this down and see what everyone gets out of my lil miss match of player and character <grins>


1) what spec are you and why.
This is my Current spec. Cold Blood/Preperation [ I've always been a fan of PvP, but I wanted to find something that would be good for Instancing as well, I think I found that in this build. It does slack behind in dps in a raid environment, as the sustained isn't as ungodly as the burst from this, but I am getting better with it. Of course, it could be just me tooooo but =) (that and i seem to get alot of flak from having imp sap, who knows)


2) do you prefer dagger, sword, mace or, unarmed spec, and why?
Daggers for the pure and simple fact that they are deadly. I've tried Sword speccing with other rogues, but i've always just...sorta gravitated back to daggers in the end.

3) keeping in mind the instances that we are raiding what weapons and armor do you want to collect for yourself? Pretty simple question, I wouldn't mind getting in and trying to snag a few more NS pieces...Weapon wise, I have been humming and hawing about what would be a more effective offhander for me. At this point, the Glacial Blade is there because I needed the AGI, it has done its job well. I guess the most obvious thing to shoot for would be a CHT though.

4) I have a slew of extra / back-up / resist armor and 2 weapons for each spec in my bank, are you the same way or not? For as much as I love PvP...I actually don't have a set specifically for it. I should, but I've never gotten around to going back into the long grinds after i flopped down from BG a few months back. My FR gear does take up a good bit of space. Not quite optimal yet, i've been able to get it up to 173 unbuffed. I'm still plugging away at it though, arcanums just need to get finished. I do not keep around any extra weapons though. i've always pretty much stuck with the ones i've been using. My Lobotomiser is still in the bank, just collecting dust now, but other then that..nope. I've never specced gho out of daggers.[/url]

Just a randome thought, though I know blizzard will probably never make it happen, but I think that rogues should be able to backstab with fist weapons. I find it highly annoying that if you want to be subtlety you HAVE to use daggers and nothing else. And yes, I know we can use something else in the off hand, but then we loose set bonuses that some of the fist weapons have (ex: ZG fist weapons, Eskandars, etc) I could understand not being able to backstab with a sword or mace, but why not a fist weapon? Makes no sense to me.

Ok, so just recently I found a Krol Blade as a random drop in the EPL. *cheers* Now however, I feel compelled to respec for swords so that I can benefit from my good fortune. Only problem is A. I'm really rather attached to my back stabbing, and B. I've never really done a combat spec before. I took a few minutes and used the new talent tree for BC and the following spec is what I came up with. I'm looking for feedback on things I may have overlooked. The idea is based on straight up damage output. So take a minute and check it out.

P.S. I'm not sure how to make a text link instead of the mile long one from the blizzard page so I apologise for that.

Thought I'd post my curent build and also show what I'm aiming for when BC hits.

Current

As you can probbaly see, I like to have alot of stuff to play with. Have, Prep, Ghostly Strike, Riposte, Blade Fury. and with the expansion, I'll be adding the godly Rush to my skill set. bringing my total up to 5 extra moves to kill my foes with.... *grins wickedly* And with that blade twisting and nerves of steal, aint no rogue gonna stunlock me! Adding that Nerves of Steel to the orc racial.... yummy...

Not sure if anybody who looks at this thread is a coder, but I'm having Macro help for my Rogue. Basically it's supposed to cast sinister strike, and then cast Eviscerate if target health is 15% and lower and I have 3 combo points or more. I based it on something taken straight from the WoW Forums. I type:

Code:

/script local C,G=CastSpellByName,GetComboPoints();C("Sinister Strike()");if(G>=4)and (UnitHealth("target")<=15)then C("Eviscerate()");end

Basing my macro on this:

Code:

/script local C,G=CastSpellByName,GetComboPoints() if G==5 or G==3 and UnitHealth("target")<10 then C("Eviscerate") else C("Riposte") C("Sinister Strike") end

The UI is now telling me I can't do that and my macro's blocked. And I paid attention to the pre-2.0 posts on macros. -w-

Now anybody have any idea to actually work past that?

[Guest]

I have an updated build, if anyone was curious how I roll now.

I might be respecing in a little bit to get rid of Dirty Tricks. That darn thing was forced upon me in the last patch. >_<

[Guest]

You still have one talent point left over.

Off-topic, I think the Rogue's Room should be renamed to Rogue's Alley. Rogue's Room isn't as cool sounding as the other class threads.
