Backstab and haste questions

[jolanar]

On live there are separate caps for worn and spell haste. Is that not true here? The wiki only has data for total haste and doesn't separate the two.

While haste is a major component, its just for lack of a better item to go there at that price range. Turtle belt is pretty good too, but it costs like 5x RBG price.

TBB seems like a better choice than RBG with +15 STR. And, it's only 2k vs. 18k.

TBB is an amazing belt for leveling, but not a great belt for raiding. STR value plummets when you get 183 to cap w/ maniacal and being able to take a few AEs switches focus to resist+hp. RBG has the best overall stats, worn moreso for these stats instead of the haste, until you can get a turtle / dwarf belt.

No hp or sta for when you need it

[deven1313]

My experience with being a rogue (mid-50s,) so far is, I rarely need HPs. And if I am getting beat on hard, that usually means things have gone really bad and I don't think the additional HPs from the RBG will make a difference. But, I guess if had 18k with nothing better to buy, I'd get one. Just seems like an extreme price for such little gain.

It's more for buffer against AE
