There was actually a whole thread discussing the balance of rogue DPS relative to other classes. And it was closed because it was as shitty discussion. Hence reopening it another, not-totally-related thread, seems like a bad idea to me. We're really not interested in your complaints about how you're no longer always top DPS, or that you feel we need extra DPS to compensate for less utility.

I disagree with the spec you choose, i understand the thinking with 30% more rupture but the 30% Critical Strike damage and chance at extra combo points after using Rupture, Eviscerate and i think even SnD by this build out way that. Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft Build) using Fist/Dagger.

As to how Rogue dps is setting ATM, i feel it may be a little lower than projected ATM but then again I am not fully optimal gear and i am having some hang ups with Rupture and SnD. (to much time left on SnD after finishing a 5r/5e section or not having enough AP to refresh rupture and setting on five combo points and three seconds left on rupture)*suggestions to this, 4s/5r/5e rotation ATM. I use Calamity's Grasp/ Webbed Death ATM but have not been able to test it in Naxx 25 yet was using Kel'Thuzad's Reach. My gear is statistically better than everyone else in my guild and on most Rogue friendly I am 1-3. The thing that concerns me is that i am better geared than most people, and beside some slight situational hiccups with rupture or having to refresh SnD to continue a rotation. I am still running near optimal rotations on most fights but am not toping the charts on allot of fights.

I think that all our players are equally skilled and it concerns me to see Fury Warriors, Death Knights, Mages, Locks and even sometimes our Feral Druid(Tank/dps spec) beating my dps on more than a few fights.(Not mentioning Hunter because they are OP ATM) It concerns me because they have yet to come close to the amount of optimal gear that my character has. I will have a chance to test this tomorrow in our 25 man Naxx run with Calamity's Grasp and will compare those WWS to others and link them here. I just think that for the lack of things we bring to a raid, (not counting situational encounters), that our dps is met or beaten to easily by other classes that do the same thing(Melee) but bring more to the raid. (No were not ment to top charts of everyfight, dont think OP like that)

I will link a spot to our WWS tommorow in this spot and i would only like people to look at dps done on what are considered Rogue friendlish fights. Patchwork, Kel'Thuzad, Gluth, and Noth.(am i missing any?) Also im going to attempt to not have to move in and out on Patchwork because of hatefull strikes and dps the whole time without getting (Slime Debuff).

I know its a wall of text.
