https://www.wowhead.com/wotlk/itemset=524 got a facelift lol
And it isnt an impossibly large set which was my only gripe about it :D

i think one of the nightelfs in sylvanaar is wearing this set, or maybe its the old bonescythe not sure but looks like it.

The set bonuses on this are very nice. 10% extra damage on rupture is a nice boost to DPS, especially seeing as it accounts for a fair percentage of damage done. 5% less energy on combo moves means more Sinister Strikes for combat, and more Mutilates for assassination, and better energy efficiency for Mutilate spec (something I always found problematic when I raided as that spec in BC).

My only gripes are the blue slots, however with a green gem that gives hit rating and stamina, this can be worked around, and the comparative lack of hit. However, this can be worked around with other gear, I'm sure.

A great set, you are definitely going to want to gem for hit and find lots of hit for all your other slots, but otherwise a great set with nice bonuses

Anyone knows if the old pre-tbc tier 3 sets still is avaliable ?

One word: Blingscythe.

To those wishing to replicate the old t3 set in all 8 pieces, pick up the Dawnwalkers, Belt of the Tortured, and Thrusting Bands. They all match this set perfectly :D

Comment by karti

rupture is up all the time for both combat and muti,
but a flat -5 energy discount, unlike a %-based one, increases combat dps more than muti :/ (5/40 > 5/60)

Still a great set for muti rogues :)
Especially for farming, where your burst is buffed much more than through gladiator's +10energy

The four piece bonus on this piece is excellent, especially for mutilate spec.

To get the most out of this spec, try getting the Helmet, (looks more like a muzzle though), the shoulders, the gloves and the legs. (I personally am going to buy the Legs and Shoulders with 75 and 60 emblems of Valor respectively)

Then, get the chest that drops from Malygos: Chestguard of the Recluse

Alternatively, you can grab the T7.25 Chest, and obtain the gloves from Malygos: Frosted Adroit Handguards

So that's the best way to make use of that awesome T7 bonus. Good luck!

This set is really nice with the -5% energy on combo moves, especially since I'm a combat rogue and I love spamming sinister strike, mong other things. But what is really nice about this set is that ALL of the pieces contain atleast 1 slot, which makes this easy to upgrade and very flexible w/ what you need.

For all you lazy bums out there the four set bonus only reduces non-finisher abilities. This includes Gouge, SS, Mut, FoK etc. It does not reduce energy cost of kick or feint or blind.

It takes 3 energy off the cost of gouge, mutilate and FoK. I'm not sure if the reduced SS talent chances this but currently my SS is 42 energy. making it 37 for you combat hard-cores.

Always dreamed of owning a set of Bonescythe, the set has always looked, in a sense, rogue-ish; partial face mask to hide identity but not to obscure the vision and prevent inhalation of toxins, knives on shoulders/boots for easy access to throwing weaponry, sleek and tight around to person not to get caught on anything and also to allow full mobility.

And now it's back, upgraded to have very awesome stats, and the midnight blue with gold trim's very sexy.

link that adds matching belt n' boots.

Comment by neeve

Anyone else think they might add other pieces to this set? Boots are conspicuously absent, especially. And waist and wrist pieces. Be good way to buff the set even more, and if they put them in whatever post-naxx raid content comes out, that would help motivate rogues to go get in there.

Comment by BrokeNL

The lack of hit rating on this set, is actually fantastic despite what said earlier. With 5 of the pieces, plus your other's you'll have easily enough hit to satisfy the new, low amount of hit that Combat Rogues should be using, you wouldn't gem hit in this at all. (As a Combat Rogue).

Comment by Artrax

this set is sweet my rogue is assas/sub spc and pulls of 8k ambushes and 9k evicerates with it. still it doesnt berat my naxx gear by trhat much but heck who cares it looks awesome on my male undead rouge,

especially with ap and res rating on head and shoulders and a belt buckle onb belt for an extra meta what could be better

I LOLed in real life.

anyway anyone besides me notice the complete lack of +hit on this set?

Comment by 340129

this is such a good rogue armor so good with agilty and stamina good crit rating and leads up to a good amount of armor . if you get green hair with spikes it look's really good with the helm

Comment by 346805

I think that you won't pick this set in a pvp server becaus there are better sets than this :D

Comment by BooMsx

Comment by 138482

From what I'm hearing combat rogues don't have to get 315 hit for the poison hit cap?
