Rogue PvE Combat DPS guide [Video]

[hocius]

I found this video showing how to dps with combat talents. I hope its useful.

Talents:

The video recommends this talents. I think this ones are better.


Weapons:

Main hand > Slow weapon [first for best dps] (2.5-2.7)
Off hand > Fast weapon [dagger for best dps] (1.4 is best, if not 1.5)


Poisons:

Main hand > Wound Poison
Off hand > Deadly Poison


Flasks and elixirs:

Eat your flask OR your elixir, and the food.

Flask of Endless Rage
Elixir of Deadly Strikes
Blackened Dragonfin


Glyphs:

Glyph of Sinister Strike
Glyph of Rupture
Glyph of Slice and Dice


Spell Rotation:

1. Tricks of the Trade on the tank.
2. Stealth (if you're in combat, vanish and sprint behind the boss).
3. Garrote. 1CP
4. Slice and Dice.
5. Use all your (long time) cooldowns: Adrenaline Rush, Evasion, Blade Flurry.
6. Sinister Strike to 5CPs.
7. Rupture.
8. Sinister Strike to 2CPs.
9. Slice and Dice.
10. Sinister Strike.
11. Envenom.
12. Repeat...

[Use Killing Spree when you're low of energy, because it doesn't costs energy]

Well made video but there are a few things worth criticizing. (Also, you didn't make the video. Despite the fact you did give credit, you should still create your own material.)

For one, why does it say to blow vanish at the beginning of a boss fight? Unless you have an add on you there reason to blow vanish.

Also, you should post some tips on pve spell rotation and such in the topic in case people don't want to have to watch the video.

Yeah, there definitely is some flaws.

Allright, thanks for the tips. I'll edit it to add some info.

SnD glyph is useless, just go for the KS one, is a good dps increase...
the rotation are not that good either... beside you should use eviscerate unless u spec 18/51/02, you should follow a rotation like 5s/5r/5e or something along the line if your energy do not permit it... what i do (since it vary a LOT from the proc of combat potency) is to ALWAYS keep SnD up, put rupture, build CP and as soon as there are 12 sec left on SnD eviscerate. the 12 sec let you build enaught CP for a new 5cp SnD

I liked it, and you obviously spent a fair ammount of time working on this. So +rep from me.

Nice Guide, indeed.

But:

9. Slice and Dice.
10. Sinister Strike.
11. Envenom.
12. Repeat...

Why would you spec into imp evis and not use it?

I would recommend to start of with this:

1. Stealth
2. Garrote
3. SnD
4. 5CP Rupture
5. Build 4 CP with SS
6. [ How long does SnD stay?, Have you enough energie to refresh? ]
--->Stays about 5s -> Wait for your energie to regen, then refresh SnD as its about to run out.
--->Nearly runs off in 1s -> Use KSp, then refresh it.
7.Blow off your CDs [ AR, BF, Pods, Engineer Gloves/Trinket ]
8.5CP Rup
9.5CP Evi / Envenom
10. 4CP SnD
~~ Repeat 8-10

If I say xCP Rup i mean Build up x CP with SS then use Rupture to finish.. just to clarify


But anyways, nice Guide so +Rep from meh

Hi AscaL. Well, if you use the talents of the video (with Vile Poisons, which increases the damage dealt by Envenom by up to 20%), you should use envenom instead of eviscerate. But if you use the talents I recommend, you should use eviscerate.

The most important thing its to keep up the SnD and the rupture.

Hi Shleven, thanks for the +Rep. I'm happy that you estimate my work (although I didn't make the video).

Hi JaCkaL. None of the talents I put recommend Imp.Eviscerate, although, as I said to AscaL, if you use the talents I recommend, you should use Eviscerate instead of Envenom.

Thanks for recommending your rotation and thanks for the +Rep.
