Hello everybody,
My 0.02$. Thanks to Samathul theorycrafting and sick interest (or should we say pervesion) towards numbers my dps has increased big time with just few little changes.
About Hitrating - I have cool purple looking gear that give me awesome AP and shitloads of crit%...due mental illness I tried this gear at Gruul last time (like somebody mentioned ) and WOW damage of my average melee hit increased...but because this fancy looking is lacking +hitrating there was as many misses as Mr Bush has made in last few years...and man...that is A LOT! So due to that my dps was so low that somebody actually thought I was Karvatupsu.
Summasummarum about hitrating...that is MUST. WWS records from our last Kara runs show big increase for rogues who put some effort to hitrating. Just for the record my fancy purple gear has something around 170 hitrating, with my crappy blues I can gather 255 hit rating (plus some dagger skill bonuses so ~260 total).
About rotation - We all want to do thing way we are used to do. It feels efficient...mobs go down quickly and loots are awesome. Then becomes the day when player who plays onebuttonmacroclasswhowearsallyourcoolleathergearandyourbow comes to tell you that your dps,gear and rotation sucks...and it really pisses you off. You make a voodoo doll that looks like him and punch it full of needles (Tip: First of course you invite him to dinner to your place so you know what that dood looks like) You spend many restless nights thinking about revenge...how to get even and more...much more. So you start to think that maybe...just tiny maybe there is something that you can do to improve your performance. You sell your soul to the devil (that little part that is left after Blizz&WOW came along) and that nice gentleman with horns mutters just few words...3 slice and dice, 5 slice and dice, rupture...and you are like whatta f**k...is this what I sold my soul for?!? So you feel twice as bad...first that hunt...ehem...undisclosed player fucks with you and then belzebub too..okay...evening comes and clock is 21.15...raid started at 21 but you feel so bad that you come late...just to piss ppl off. You decide to make one final try. If this new trick does not do it you are going to sell your account at ebay. So you come to bigbadbossydoodt ...you wait shitlong and then start your life duty (which for rogue is standing behind ugly fucks and sticking your nose to their butts and swinging your butter knifes)...you gather few combo points and launch slice and dice, you stab a little more and find out that you have 5 point at your disposal when last s&d wears out...so new s&d...you go to "ZONE"...world becomes blurres...you heard distant commands of Sinqular flocking raid to do better...and you stab...and you stab like you have never stabbed before...you are swetting like a pig and you begin to hear colors and see voices...but you stab...faster...faster...faster...faster......AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH
..mother...they are calling for me in from the forest....I am rogue...trapped in the bottle of shadows....you hear mechanical voice saying "You have no target"...you slowly come back to real world...you are naked and your wife and kids are scaredly looking for you from the door. Raidleader congratulates everyone for awesome perfomance and new record times. This does now happen with just one bossy but on every encounter.
But seriously...even in Karazhan when many bosses dont bleed...just changing rotation brought BIG improvement.
If somebody wants numbers I was able to pull out that few weeks ago at kara overall DPS was around 550 and at bosses 20% more. Last Kararun overall DPS was around 680 and for example at Illhoof way over 900. These changes with just 2 minor changes...get your hitrating gear and use RogueDPS excel to find out what is best rotation for you.
Best,
Cekkuli who sucks...but tries to learn.
