Cataclysm [Guide] Combat Rogue PvE

[taralej]

I guess the Restless Blades + Rupture bug should be fixed now (haven't tested it), but Revealing Strike + Rupture is still unconfirmed, so even if the first works, the second would still render Rup obsolete.

Rupture + RB is fixed, tested and confirmed.
Rupture isn't affected by RvS, just jested it and it does the same ammount per tick with or without RvS.

Thank you very much, Stellar! I'll update the guide.

so using Rupture in our rotation is a dps increase now? and if so with how much?

Guide updated. However, I noticed something else, that requires attention:

The RvS + Rup bug hasn't been reported in the Bug Tracker at all. This means that we've been wasting time until now, waiting for a fix on something that hasn't even been reported. :(

Still no, the gap between an RvSed Evi and a non-RvSed Rup is too big. Keep using Evi until RvS + Rup gets fixed.

Tested today with no gear just two daggers without enchant: Rupture does the same damage with or without Revealing Strike (35% increased effectiveness). I saw the thread with rogue bugs and in the list it was listed as fixed. Checked the bug tracker bug couldn't find any report for this problem.

You even quoted me on that and still didn't notice that I pointed out the missing bug report. Shame I didn't have enough posts to make a report at the time but I figured somebody that could would've made it. And it was actually in the official rogue bug thread.

Yeah, I remember, that's why I'm so surprised. :( I checked my Guide and I've only mentioned it there and there's still no report in the tracker.

Anyone has any math or info on how to treat haste in gearing in context with mastery and the other stats?

Hey m8!

I'd like to donate ONE weapon for my combat rogue. Which one would you suggest?

There's no best weapon but this would be the better of the bunch, the offhand would be the chogall dagger, it's best for all specs.

[Tatsulot]

It drops of V&T heroic, so it shouldn't be that hard to get... Oh wait BOT HC isn't working >.<

Upcoming 4.3 is going to make your weapon obsolete ... I'd suggest waiting until then.

I thought about this a little and I think considering gear upgrades that are coming in future dungeons, Rupture will not be better to use than Eviscerate till it does more damage than a non crit Eviscerate. As far as I know it's not even close now.

awesome guide bro, I have one question,
is it good to have 2 slow weapons to maximize dps? or is it better to have a 2.60 on MH and a 1.40 on OH?

[RyuIsaCookie]

You should use a slow MH and a fast OH. clearly written in the guide.
