So looks like Saedo got most
Zevix — Tue, 01/11/2011 - 03:17So looks like Saedo got most of the tech questions out there, I still got some questions for you here we go.
I see that you say you have played WoW for 5 years now, I assume not the whole time on a rogue (I hope). Also having been playing for 5 years I would expect you have raided more then just ICC (I hope), not that it's a must but that seems to be all you have mentioned. For someone who has played for so long I am noticing a lot of beginner mistakes most of which Saedo mentioned below.
I also noticed a few times throughout your app you seem more worried about getting new shiny epics then taking the time to learn more about what a goes into playing a rogue. Just remember gear < skill.
You say you think that mods are extremely important yet I see you missing most of the important mods such as Grid, some kind of combo point tracker and Omen. All of these would be important in being a serious raider. If I were you I would take a look at barteder, omen,rogue power bars (cd tracker) or power auras etc. Also I don't see many key bindings meaning you click a lot I assume, key bindings = win ask any serious raider.
If you get a chance to get into a raid post some logs so we can see how you perform in a raid.
These are a few questions I see when looking over your app.
I forgot to mention that my 5
Devilsmerc — Wed, 01/12/2011 - 11:56I forgot to mention that my 5 year played time was on and off; and yes I have quite a bit of played time on my warrior Akillez but not really much to show for it. I ran Karazhan with him back in BC days but that is about as far as I got with him. If I were to PVP it would be with him since I mostly PVP'ed from 70-80 in Call To Arms.
Yes, ICC is really the only raiding experience I have besides Karazhan because I was out of the game for Naxxramus and Ulduar.
It seems to be an issue with this guild having people attracted to you only after "shiny epics". Let me clarify that I barely mentioned in my app I was really after "shiny epics". I believe I mentioned quite a bit how I wanted to learn more about raid encounters and meet new people.
I will look into more mods for raiding; specifically the ones you mentioned. I guess i got used to playing with the basic game I was afraid to branch out. Thanks for the recommendation.
Oh where to
saedo — Mon, 01/10/2011 - 15:54Oh where to start..........
1) Spec:
Not only it is wrong, but I'll get to that in a bit, but your reasoning for how you do your fillers is flawed. I know this is just filler, but you chose Imp Kick due to the silence due to the increased need for interrupts. This is flawed because:
That is, kick already does a 4 second lockdown on the school of magic it casts. Mobs generally are silenced for that period, and don't have a 2nd school of magic they start spamming for that 1.5 second of total silence to be of any use.
Unless you're doing this for pvp reasons. If so, all the more power. Just saying you sounded like how awesome imp kick is in pve.
Now that's out of the way, let's get to how wrong the spec is.
So, the spec winds up more like this: http://www.wowhead.com/talent#fMGZfGccocbRGo0h:ok0rzocm0
2) Reforging: Do you know it exists? Visit an enchanting trainer, talk to that tall Night Elf mage guy that's standing beside him.
3) Gems and Enchants:
Mastery, wrong. Haste, wrong. The belt seems correctly gemmed. Agility is your best stat by and far. That's the only thing you should consider gemming. Pure agility or some agility varient. That is Red = Delicate, Yellow = Deft (agi/haste), Blue = Glinting (agi/hit). And that's if the socket bonus is worth it, likely agi bonuses only.
There are 7 unenchanted items.
Wow, no helm enchant from Cata or Wrath, or shoulder enchant in Wrath, went through all that ICC content like that huh....
4) Gear:
Your offhand is wrong, way wrong. You're using a slow speed enh shaman / fury warrior weapon. You want speed, speed for energy regen, speed for that energy regen you said you loved so much.
5) Resources:
So, how have you been rogue'ing all this time? Making it up as you go along? Here's a resource you should start looking up.
http://elitistjerks.com/f78/t111329-combat_guide_cata/
Read it up and down and make your fixes. Those forums will have info on other specs too if you want to look around.
Thank you for feedback
Devilsmerc — Mon, 01/10/2011 - 16:17Saedo,
Thanks for the feedback! I am heading to work here in a few, and I will make the noted adjustments when I get off later this evening.
My offhand weapon was an impulse buy when Cataclysm first started and I haven't replaced it yet.
Good point on the imp. kick. I was thinking more on the trash mobs than the bosses.
Gemming and enchanting will be taken care of a.s.a.p.
As far as revealing strike is concerned, I felt when I used it I was too dependent on it and it stole a lot of my energy. But that might be a different story if I put talent points in relentless strikes.
I was referring to trash mobs
saedo — Mon, 01/10/2011 - 17:05I was referring to trash mobs with the 2nd point. Most don't have 2 schools of magic that they spam spells from. Typically the behavior you see is that you kick them, they start running around to melee people. They don't switch to a different spell and start casting that. Only those rare mobs that do have a lot of diff spells that they spam are the silence even remote useful.
For Revealing Strike, well you'd only use it at 4 combo points exactly. That's the only way to get a dps boost out of it. Either way, better to have it than some non-dps filler if you're after dps.
updates so far
Devilsmerc — Tue, 01/11/2011 - 04:08Okay, I have made the following adjustments before getting booted for maintenance:
-I have replaced all of my gems to agility or agility/haste where there is an agility socketing bonus
-I have 3 new enchants (will complete the rest a.s.a.p)
-I have reforged all of my items to give me haste when applicable, otherwise expertise.
-My talent tree has been tweaked to match that of "Elitistjerks" as well as adding in new abilities (revealing strike)
-I will replace my off-hand tomorrow when I get on.
Thanks again for referring me to that website; very helpful.

Your reforge priority might
saedo — Tue, 01/11/2011 - 11:53Your reforge priority might actually want to be expertise, then haste. Until you cap it at 781 rating.
Okay, I have expertise almost
Devilsmerc — Tue, 01/11/2011 - 14:42Okay, I have expertise almost maxed if not maxed already. I also replaced my offhand weapon and got a new trinket from a heroic today.
I noticed a great improvement in DPS with this new spec I am running with.
