Question about Rogue DPS - Page 4

Don't listen to the str people. You want stamina as a rogue. Str stuff is cheap and once you get over 200 the benefit of extra strength is minimal.

In addition to getting the best ratio weapons, I would also recommend selecting the lower delay of those good ratio weapons. I've noticed a pretty demonstrable difference in DPS with similar ratio weapons having different delays but different delays (ie SCD does more dmg than EON).

Most of all have fun. Rogue is by far my favorite class. They can excel is almost all melee aspects of the game aside from tanking.

In offhand? I don't think that's right.

In off hand ratio is all the matters. No damage bonus in the off hand.

In the main hand for non-backstab attacks, a .5 ratio weapon with 30 delay will be noticably outperformed by a .5 ratio weapon with 20 delay due to the static damage bonus.

Math is hard, but I'm guessing that it's possible for offhand delay to make a difference between 2 weapons with very similar ratios because of damage increments, rounding ... something.

Good rogues don't take much damage, and lets be honest 100hp is nothing late game...if something wants to swing at you for big damage you should already have evaded or stopped attacking prior to that.

I see both sides but I believe in my STR/ATK stat more than anything.

Any rogue will eat an AE or two at sometime. That extra 100hp could be the difference of dropping into low hp aggro and getting owned, or not dropping into low hp aggro and getting healed. Not to mention, when a mob turns on a rogue who has low hp aggro, overall dps of the raid drops in that moment. Seconds count.

Swish, wtf is going on in your sig? Also, thanks all of the info [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

What is the str cap at actually? I mean at what point does extra strength stop making any difference? (Is it literally no difference once you hit the cap?)

Looks like a Chinese gentlemen getting electrocuted to me, played in reverse.

There are some people that are almost immune to getting electrocuted. I have a friend who can unscrew a lightbulb and stick his finger in it and not even feel a shock.

Years ago when I was starting as a mechanic the boss of the shop I worked at could lay his arms across the sparkplugs on a flathead 6 cylinder engine and kill it.

Some people can't feel shit I guess.
