Strength determines the physical power of your character. A high strength improves your attack power. Strength is also a determining factor in how much damage you block if you use a shield. Rogues and hunters only use a partial value of strength to determine their power. - World of Warcraft Game Manual, 2004

For a Level 60 Schurke:

1 Strength = 1 Attack Power

Agility

Agility improves your armor rating, your chance to dodge an attack, and your chance to score a critical hit with a melee or ranged attack, thus dealing increased damage. Rogues and Hunters also use agility, in combination with strength, to determine their attack power. - World of Warcraft Game Manual, 2004

Schurke

Agility increases the chance of a critical hit with melee and ranged attacks. The amount of the increase is dependent on both class and level. For most level 60 character classes, approximately 20 points of Agility will increase your critical hit chance by approximately 1%. Rogues require 29 Agility for an additional 1% critical hit chance, and Hunters require 53 Agility for an additional 1% critical hit chance, but both of these classes also gain attack power from agility, and the items available to them typically have much higher amounts of Agility.

Agility increases the chance to dodge an attack. The amount increased is dependant on both class and level. For most level 60 character classes, approximately 20 points of AGI will increase your chance to dodge by approximately 1%. Rogues only require 14.5 AGI for an additional 1% dodge chance. Hunters require 26.5 AGI for an additional 1% dodge chance, but Hunters typically have a high amount of agility, as well as an Aspect spell that further increases their chance to dodge attacks.

For a Level 60 Schurke:

29 Agility = 29 Attack Power, 1% Crit Chance, 2% Dodge

Stamina

Stamina affects your hit points, no matter what class you play. However, characters designed to absorb damage, such as warriors and paladins, gain more benefit from stamina than classes who have other capabilities, such as rogues and druids, who in turn gain more benefit than pure spellcasters, such as mages. - World of Warcraft Game Manual, 2004

For a Level 60 Schurke:

1 Stamina = 10 Health

Intellect

Intelligence improves your mana reserves. Intelligence has no bearing on non-spellcasting classes. - World of Warcraft Game Manual, 2004

Arkane IntelligenzSpirit

Spirit determines the regeneration rate for your health and mana. A high spirit results in much faster regeneration, while a low spirit gives you reduced regeneration. - World of Warcraft Game Manual, 2004

Crit Chance

Almost all physical damage a rogue deals is capable of being a critical strike, which deals double the normal amount of damage. You can increase your critical strike chance with items that have increased critical strike chance, consumable buffs like the very powerful Elixier des Mungos, talents, and you gain 1% increased critical strike chance per 29 points of Agility.

Increasing critical strike chance is a good way to increase a rogue's damage output. Once you are beyond your ability hit cap, 1% bonus crit chance will be slightly more valuable to your character than 1% bonus hit chance.

The only physical damage a rogue could deal that cannot critical strike is the periodic damage from Blutung or other periodic bleed effects like the debuff from Barkeepers Pulle.

Stat Priority

≥ 9% Hit Rating
≥ 308 Weapon Skill

Strength and Attack Power
Crit Chance

As mentioned previously, 9% Hit Chance is not an option, it is mandatory, and there isn't any excuse for not having it when showing up to a Raid, you get 5% of it from Präzision and 2% from Teufelsaurierrüstung! Many rogues will use considerably more than 9% Hit Chance because even after the 9% ability cap, it is still a valuable stat that adds to your damage through auto attacks. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of options for Sword Rogues when it comes to weapon skill, pretty much just Waffenexperte, Schwert-Spezialisierung, and Maladath, Runenverzierte Klinge des schwarzen Drachenschwarms if you are a Human. Dagger rogues have many options for bonus weapon skill throughout the game including Straßenräubergürtel, Ablenkender Dolch, Alte Kernlederhandschuhe, or even the incredibly powerful Stich des Todes from Ahn'Qiraj!

After that, your primary Attributes should be Agility and Strength, both of which offer you Attack Power. Don't forget a lot of items do come with raw Attack Power on them, such as Ebenholzmaske, or even Leichenhafte Gänger. Lastly, Crit and Hit Chance is your next Priority for gear. While it is nice to order the stats like this, keep in mind a item with a high amount of a less desirable stat will often increase your damage by more than an item with a low amount of a more desirable stat.

No mention of glancing blows and the interaction with weapon skill? Is that being removed for Classic?

Kommentar von Ihazhealz

hit cap is 8% against bosses/63 level monsters if you have at least 305 weapon skill

Kommentar von Redtuzk

Might be worth mentioning that the yellow hitcap for raidbosses is 5.2% for humans since you get +5 increased sword/mace skill.

Kommentar von Jestus101

Roughly speaking, how much ap is 1% crit worth. I have a temp upgrade choice. Cadaverous Gloves give 45 ap. Gargoyle Slashers give 15ap 1% crit (and a negligible amount of crit from the agi). So is 1% crit worth more than 30ap?

Ok so i am a rogue using combat daggers build with improved backstab im pretty pleased with it unless mobs run around like crazy ;)My question is, i have the +5 daggers from skills and then +6 daggers from Ablenkender Dolch and +5 daggers from Straßenräubergürtel for a whopping 316 weapons skill, should i go for more as in Alte Kernlederhandschuhe or should i stop at certain weapon skill level? As i look at forums and sites it seems beneficial to stack more and then just replace any non agi gear for more agi and thus crit, my hit % is above min for special abilities.

The stat priority of this guide is utterly wrong.

After you reach the Soft Cap for Hit Rating, you can move on to Weapon Skill bonuses.

This statement is confusing because hit and weapon skill are interrelated, and from the 9% hit requirement that is inconsistent with some other parts of the text it seems the author doesn't quite understand how.

9% is the cap against level 63 targets when your weapon skill is 300. If your skill is 305 (which is the case for Combat Rogues just because of the talent Weapon Expertise), it becomes 6%. If you're a human or have certain gear that increases weapon skill, this can go down to 5%, although it is less important to get there.

For autoattacks the cap is much higher, but so is the hit increase achieved by increasing your weapon skill. It also increases your damage from autoattacks because of the "glancing blow penalty".

So you want to get 305 weapon skill (by means of being human, getting Weapon Expertise, or certain gear), 308 if possible, and then get your hit to 6% (for which if you're combat you only need an extra 1%)
