Update "Priest Talent Builds" to show "Rogue Talent Builds"

Comentario de AdamJP

On the dagger rogue build, why the choice of improved sprint over the 4% evis damage with Aggression?

Comentario de adamthemute

Would like to point out that at some point (I forget when and with what gear) dagger combat outshines sword combat spec in PvE. Was definitely by Naxx, but it's been so long I forget when the transition happens.

The reason being that Backstab, while being a great ability, does less damage per energy spent than Sinister Strike does.

On the contrary, Puñalada does (potentially a lot) more damage per energy than Golpe siniestro:

Weapon Damage = Weapon DPS x Weapon Speed + AP-based DPS x Normalized Weapon Speed

Using a 70 DPS, 2.7 Speed Sword vs. a 70 DPS, 1.8 Speed Dagger, and 1400 AP (= 100 AP-based DPS). For lower level gear, the difference is even more pronounced, because of BS's large static additional damage (+210*).

Untalented, we have:

SS = Weapon Damage + 68 = 70 x 2.7 + 100 x 2.4 + 68 = 497 for 497 / 45 = 11.04 DPE

BS = Weapon Damage x 1.5 + 210 = (70 x 1.8 + 100 x 1.7) x 1.5 + 210 = 699 for 699 / 60 = 11.65 DPE

Talented, SS gains 6% extra damage from Aggression, and obviously 5 less energy cost from Improved Sinister Strike. BS gains 30% extra crit from Improved Backstab, 20% more damage from Opportunity

SS = 497 x 106% = 527 for 527 / 40 = 13.17 DPE

Assuming 35% Crit, BS's average damage should be 165% / 135% higher with Improved Backstab alone, so

BS = 699 x 165% / 135% = 854 for 14.23 DPE (17.06 DPE with Opportunity).

On paper, Backstab-builds are usually better than Sinister Strike-builds, but the difference becomes smaller and smaller with higher gear levels (where upwards of 70% of total damage is "white" or at least not energy based damage). In practice, shorter fights (where finishing moves have a larger impact) and the lack of strict positioning requirements make Sinister Strike builds more successful.

*) at these Naxx gear levels, BS will have a new rank available, with +225 static additional damage
