This is off the subject but ive been looking for information with reguards to Swapping the Offhand weapon, i have no idea how this works, my only guess would to have 3 daggers, your MH would have instant poision, and 2 OH, 1 with deadly and 1 with instant, then after each envenom swap the deadly OH for the instant OH while the envenom proc is in affect, then switch them back after the proc is dead... rinse and repeat? Im also guessing this is for a ruptureless cycle, proally a 51/18/2 and the with the extra combo points in CQC and Lightning Reflexes? if any1 has any information about this mutilate spec please let me know, thanks.

I'd love to see some proof of this. I was under the impression that hit was king until capped, and I personally would never want to be under hit cap. #1. Missing white hits means potential rage starvation (not terrible but if the miss comes at a bad time). #2 Missing yellow hits means wasted GCD, especially if rend misses and you have to reapply which also means that you push your overpower procs back. What I'd like to know, do the added stats you are able to stack make up for the loss in dps for being that far under the hit cap?

Probably being very close to the hit cap is not that bad in therms of rage generation and such. The only thing you should consider in therms of dps is the benefit of X rating of hit compared to other stats. If you only need 2 hit rating to cap, and you use a 20 hit gem your hit SEP for that gem is very low and the equivalent STR or Crit could give a better dps increase. This doesn't change the fact that those pts of hit could be worth 1.5 times the other stats.

For a big sample of hits (or longer fights) hit is surely point per point a big increase in dps, probably the highest with current tier gear if you are under cap. For shorter fights is a bit more random since the difference between 1 and 0 misses could be a lot more than showed in the tooltip. Since the minimum step could be much higher, the drop you could have in an unlucky situation could be more than the benefit of few more stats. However across multiple fights you should have a balance (bigger sample, smaller deviation).

It's often down to player preferences when the trade off is something like being at -2 or +16 from the cap, but that doesn't change the value of hit in the long therm.

It's probably common sense, but not all fights involve level 83 bosses too. You'll do ok on a damage meter when there's lots of trash or adds to contend with because you need less hit rating for the lower level mobs. However, in fights where the mobs are only level 83 (like the twin valkyr), you are almost always better off making sure you're within 20 of the hit cap over the course of a 5 minute fight (sure you may win the lotto and never miss, but that's not a good long-term strategy). Missing an overpower, juggernaut-fueled MS, or other special attack is a pretty big dps loss, in addition to the rage, proc uptime and rotation issues you run into with misses.

Vegetablesui, you can figure out the relative value of hit vs other stats in the dps spreadsheet landsoul's put together (it's an average based on your current gear, which should be directionally correct for longer fights). In Frnz's/Faustina's case he's losing about 20 dps by gemming for crit instead of hit on his polearm for example. Edit: Actually just swapping from his next highest stat (armor pen) to hit in his yellow sockets, he gains over 50 dps according to the spreadsheet.

I was mostly trying to figure out why he believed that being so under hit cap was beneficial. I know that being slightly under-capped is not necessarily a bad thing, but he isn't just slightly under capped. There is no way to overcome having that low of hit rating with other stats. My excel was broke this morning or i would have run it through myself.

Cool! Tyvm!

HI guyz..i am a new here and i want to ask 2 questions..
FIrst of all i would like to know about the 2T8.5 bonus of rip that extend its period...Does that mean that rip causes more damage per tick or rip is able to do a certain amount of damage and it just extends its period?Thx in advance

Was the T9 2-piece bonus buffed at all to allow easier migration from T8.5 or are most rogues effectively screwed and stuck with waiting for 4-pc T9-258?

u sooo stupit u mis first p[rost ok

Hi Dru,

Can you please tell me how you put your UI together?

Thank you....

Hey there, thanks immensely for this - I had a tinker with Power Auras last night and it is awesome - love the way you can customize it and it is exactly what I was after.

Thanks again you've been very helpful

cheers
