I haven't tried this for a while, but didn't they implement measures to prevent the resetting of BWL lab packs to farm elementium?

Not to mention, considering the typical trash epic BoP droprate (I can count on two hands the number of BoP epics we've gotten throughout the entirety of BWL+AQ) farming them may not even be feasible.

Before (w/BoK): 48+4.8 agi, 1 hit, 1 crit = 52.8 AP, 2.82 crit, 1 hit
After: 80 AP, 2 crit, 1 hit

Basically works out to trading 0.82 crit for 27.2 AP, which means you need a crit:AP equivalence of > 33.1 for the extra crit an alliance rogue gets to start to win out against the raw AP.

My current crit:AP equivalence is 24.56, and it'll only go up to 26 or so at the end of Naxx, so:

BoK is only really 4.8 agi, the level of gear needed to make that amount of crit win out against raw AP is not even remotely attainable, and we'd all be on our lv 70 Tier 5 sets by then.

My guess is that Maexxna's drops from Maexxna, the final boss of the spider wing :x

Sorry for hi-jacking a moment, where did you find the math to do that? :-)

BoK makes an item more valuable for the agility that it has, which is a nice/important thing to consider at when looking at items. However AP stacking is a lot more optimal for DPS contributions, but it simply does boil down to the fact that most people are whining for the sake of whining. The "new" items are significantly better for DPS people are moaning we lose dodge, personally I could'nt care less about dodge, only place's I find myself wanting more is on fights like Sartura and other whirlwind AoE melee style moves. I'm hoping there arent any particularly rogue cruel fights like Sartura / Ouro anyway.

I for one am very happy/suprised to see this improved allocation - not only does it say to me that Blizzard have paid attention to people's qeuerying of the pure agility stacking but it also say's they're willing to make alterations to allocation even if it means particularly large jumps in scale of upgrade.

There's always the chance that the Fist Weapon (it's a hook looking thing) is a nice SS weapon. The upgrade path for Fists is not exactly great.

Honestly I don't understand why the whiners are complaining, I guess BOK is really that great? I never felt like rogues had a huge amount of agility though, so BOK wasn't as huge a buff. I mean GOA gives me more right now, probably will for a long time.

edit: I already have a dodge set built for those dumb encounters, hopefully there aren't more though.

Loved it. One question though- why is there a Mortal Strike entry in the 2h Fury spreadsheet? When I fiddle with this it seems it's being calculated into the total dps instead of bloodthirst.
Also- when I enter weapon skill into the appropriate field, it seems to lower dps for 2h fury.

At least you have two extra daggers, even if they are temporary holdovers until Kingsfall. Sword's have no such luxury. Insatiable Blade is alright for an offhand, but still pretty low DPS for a Naxx weapon, lower in DPS and ilvl than the trash dagger. For mainhand viable weapons however, we have an ENORMOUS gap, big enough that I've started a post about that gap on R&D here: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...=new&tmp=1#new

I use a customised spreadsheet, but Chalon's Rogue Combat Daggers DPS Spreadsheet does a fantastic job (with peer-reviewed formulae)
