Hi fellow Rogues.
I am a 41/5/25 spec Rogue
http://www.wowhead.com/?talent#fhxfoeMoiroczZ0xZebfbh0db:TikmcVI am putting some thoughts into how to optimize dmg in PVP. Especially when it comes to fight our Friends in Plate - DK, Pallys and Warriors...
I have not spend any points at Focused Attacks, in a fight with a Plate I usually die if i spend more than 10-14 sec to-to -toe with them... in such a short period the gain of Focused Attacks would be about 10 -12 points of energy... correct me if I am wrong here.
These few points of energy dont make a huge difference in damage. Relentless Strikes would under the same time generate about 50 in energy... Worth the 5 points spent....
I have spent my 3 points from Focused Attackes in Vile Posions instead since this would give all my Posion an extra 20 % dmg. This damage will not be affected by Plate Armour.
I havent spent points in Ruthlessness either since 3 points only give a 60 % chance of getting a CP.
I havent spent points in Improved Kidney shot either since it is often trinkeded out.....
I have spent 2 points in Blodsplatter, but I find myself to seldom use Rupture and Garotte in PVP - I usually only go for Eviscerate, since if damage is done over a long period of time, I usually end up with a two handed Axe buried deep in my head.
I have spent 2 points in Quick Recovery and it is good for regaining energy when you miss... but at what Attack power lvl does this feature go obsolete, if you have more than 2600 Attackpower is these two points well spent or not. Anyone know if there is a breaking point where you will have a good hitrating and no longer benefit from Quick Recovery. The healing part is nice but when you use First Aid it really doesnt add that much difference and a decent healer will bring you up to full health since Rogues dont have that much HP anyway,,,,,
My questions to you my fellow Rogues is:
Focused Attacks, does it really have any value in PVP, you hit and run and recover entergy while you run?
Ruthlessness, do you get enough value for the 3 points spent here since it is only 60 % chance
Vile Posions, Is it worth spending points on today, It still adds 20 % damage to posions.
BlodSplatter, is it of any use in PVP, open up with Garotte is nice but you often find yourself dealing less dmg than if you CS them instead and mutilate KS and Evi Mutile ...etc
Will putting points in Improved poisions and hitting Plate Classes with Instant posion bring up the damge more than if spent on Improved KS Focused Attacks or Blodsplatter...?
I am very interested to have some feedback on my thoughts.
I would be happy if you can give me some advice that will maximize my damage output. Especially against Plate Classes.
Rouges have more fun!
