Combat Rogue DPS! - Level 85, ft. Cromar - TGN

http://worldofwarcraft.tgn.tv — DPS rundown series, episode 3 of 22: Rogue Combat!

We look at the spec and rotation for an Combat Rogue, and analyze the testing results via Recount. All testing is done against a raid boss dummy with no buffs besides basic class abilities. Gear is level 333 premade junk.

Combat performed the worst out of the three specs, at about 5500 dps, compared to 5700 and 6k for Sub and Assassination respectively.

so now that arp is gone. are rogue's going to stack crit now?

[tgnWorldOfWarcraft]

@MrDaRkOrBiTe Haste is king right now. For Assassination rogues, the spell hit cap is essential.

You say to stay away from mastery but remember that Combat Rogues' mastery directly affects the Combat Potency talent. Try not to think of it for just the dps of the extra offhand swings themselves.

[tgnWorldOfWarcraft]

@Wilvan1809 Unfortunately, the proc rate is so low that you aren't gaining any noticable amounts of energy from the mastery. Those 35 procs generate 7 procs of potency, which means 105 energy. Each mastery point (179 mastery rating) gives you 1.25% extra MG proc chance. That means you are spending 179 mastery rating to gain 10 energy every 269 main hand swings. No thanks.

Well Sense the patch Blade Flurry Is a turn off and on .

I find combat 900909999 Times better than assasination With mobs. Cause once you tricks the tank and pop blade flurry and killing spree Its like an instant 13k dps.

This was very helpful, thank you! :)

[SnusGamer95]

[majormom357]

I think it is useless to use 5 combo points on SnD it takes a lot of time to get 5 combo points. I always use SnD with 1 combo point and when it wears off i just use one sinister strike SnD and back on eviscarate. It saves you alot of time, energy and you don't get any penalty by doing that. Tell me if I'm wrong about this but this is the way I do it.

[SoulRipper66]

So m8 my main dmg comes from my SnD normal hits?

[Hrko1992]

Rogues have been broken since TBC came out. PRe-tbc rogues and horde only shamans was World of Warcraft. Now its just slimy goo made of shit.
