I get a fair amount of emails on a daily basis. I enjoy it, really, even though often times I’m asked the same question over and over again. Fair enough I suppose, I can’t expect for people to read through the older posts, can I? I don’t know, probably, but either way since I’m such a nice guy (and handsome) I decided to compile a list of the most Frequently Asked Question questions I receive. Enjoy!
Is it better to gem with agi or attack power?
The quick and simple answer is to consult a spreadsheet. That wasn’t the answer you wanted though was it? So yeah, more often than not, AP gems provide an ever-so-slight advantage over AGI. The difference is so slight, however, that it is generally up to personal preference. I, personally, always gem for AGI.
It should be noted that once you have the T8 4-piece bonus, AGI will always come out on top.
What is the best talent build and glyphs for Assassination?
Often, depending on your gear, you can switch some points around in Master Poisoner for Turn the Tables. You’ll have to check a spreadsheet to be exact on this and it’s generally not worth worrying too much about.
What is the best talent build and glyphs of Combat?
Obviously, you can change Close Quarters Combat out for your weapon of choice. A good thing to note is that if you are using fists/dagger, you can replace that one point in Endurance with one point in Throwing Specialization. I’m a fan of this, as it helps on a couple of fights in Ulduar.
What poisons should I be using?
For Combat: Wound on the Main Hand and Deadly on the Off Hand.
For Mutilate: Instant on the Main Hand and Deadly on the Off Hand.
Why are you so awesome?
Just born that way I guess.
Will you have my babies?
Yes.
You’re damn sexy.
Not a question, but you are correct.
Why do you never have any recommendations for Sub built, glyphs and whatnot for raiding? Is it just that bad? Isn’t Blizzard supposed to be leveling all specs to be competative with each other? If you don’t know much about sub, could you recommend a blog or site I can research?
I’ve always been sub, and always will. It’s the most “Rouge-y” to me. It’s how I soloed a 60 (level cap) when I was level 25.
@Tenpenny I’m just not that knowledgeable on Sub. I find the HAT playstyle a bit boring to be honest. There’s plenty of HAT information availabe here: http://elitistjerks.com/f78/t38187-free_hat_deep_subtlety_you/
Hey Zaltu,
What about glyphing/gemming and specs for Arena/PVP? I barely touch PVE with my rogue, except to pray for a weapon drop here and there…
I play stunlock/mutilate spec, but notice a fair few combat/sub rouges in the BG’s that are well geared… how viable is combat or sub for pvp or arena?
Thanks,
Strayer

Since I don’t have a problem at my gear level (4 piece 7.5 + handfull of 319-326 ilevel items) to maintain a 3s5r(5e) rotation, I’ve elected to move 3 points out of Relentless Strikes into Vile Poisons. The flat extra 20% to poison damage gave me a significant boost in DPS.
Im only pulling 3k on the test dummies with my gear and only up to 4.2 to 4.8k on certain bosses in ToC25. Here is a link to my gear. I feel like i should be pulling way more.
