Let's talk about stats and weapon ratios

[MaksimMazor]

RB/RSSS combo is superior to all

[isiah]

Any stats with these blurts?

[Tikker]

I wouldn't mind seeing that parse, but BS damage is such a huge part of total rogue dps, I think epic would still pull ahead

[Juevento]

Backstab dmg is usually about 35-40% of rogue DPS.

I can post some parses later tonight.

[Cecily]

Thornstinger + Epic can potentially murder Epic + RSSS, doesn't happen often. Although they are a close weapon combo, RSSS is
preferred by people who have both, like myself.

[isiah]

Cecily, you mention TS + RB can murder the other respective combo. In which instances is this the case?

[MaksimMazor]

In an instance when a rogue is not backstabbing

[Clark]

Rb primary always!!

[Gaffin 7.0]

i prefer bloodpoint over ragebringer [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm pretty sure it happens when you get a lucky string of duelist max melee hits. I'm trying to find a parse on Phara Dar where I had TS equipped by accident and smoked everyone else by a huge margin.

Druushk in 29s, 35k @1223dps :: Cecily 4k @180dps (12.17%) :: Hujiko 3k @128dps (9.78%) :: Skew 3k @143dps (9.68%) :: Gunnter 3k @96dps (7.6%) :: Barlow 3k @104dps (7.59%) :: Kingore 2k @98dps (6.91%) :: Fundo 2k @85dps (6.46%) :: Remnence 2k @74dps (5.21%) :: Kautin 2k @68dps (5.18%) :: Lonegin 2k @75dps (5.06%)

Druushk actually. There you go folks, scientific proof that TS was better in this one fight. Huji was actually using a lame Jagged Blade of Mourning for 2nd place, with 3rd and 4th place being RB/RSSS rogues. The only conclusion you'll really get is that, besides epic, Kunark weapons suck. You'll see bigger damage gaps between weapons in Velious for sure.
