Question for you: Is your preference for maces just because those are the best weapons you have? Cause, like a previous poster said, Armor Pen isn't that huge of a stat in PVP. Don't go that deep into Combat just for Mace Spec.

Like you, I tend to only do Battlegrounds, and I've had a lot of luck with this spec:

Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft

It's not perfect (I'm no spec expert), but despite being in only PVE gear, I do surprisingly well against well-geared plate classes in PVP. Glyphed Vigor is great for huge opening combos, Cold Blood -> Eviscerate after a Shadowstep can hit pretty hard, and you get tons of survivability from the Sub tree.

Just a suggestion for you to consider if you're sporting some sexy maces.

Actually, my interest in maces is a holdover from the original character creation, back when maces stunned… I still cry at night. So far as my gear is concerned, The World of Warcraft Armory , it’s nothing much to write home about, the Paper cutters I picked up as a steal on the AH the day I hit 80 (less than 190g for both dags and enchants). I’m in a large guild that raids a lot but just ding-ed 80, so it’s going to be a while before I get a permanent spot.

Though at this point, the mace spec for me is like chasing the unicorn or framing an Oozling. I’ve got my dual spec slot open to play with, the will and interest to find the sexy maces.

I like that spec you posted – thanks. I was also tinkering with one that reached far enough up to grab deadly brew and Improved Kidney Shot, but it’s very much a work in progress. Your spec and that one offer the advantage of being weapon neutral and that’s likely a good thing. I just can’t help but think that there must be an actual mace spec hiding someplace

Thanks for your ideas

Hey
Im playing an UD rogue, Muti/Subt spec and am mainly hateful/deadly!
Atm im hitting 790Resi, which seems like a lot! Am thinking, is this Gimping the rest of my stats, went for full resi gemming wise and am now thinking i need to go for Agil or AP...
I know this could get into a HUGE discussion, but what is better for PvP, Agility or AP?

As far as i can see...Agi gets almost the same amout of AP (loosing a few here and there) and agi increases Dodge chance and Crit, so surly this is the obvious answer! Is there anything im missing, some kinda buff to AP?

Thanks
Theo

It's not the same amout of AP since there's 16agi gem and 32ap gem.
Also which is better, there's no clear answer.

Pure AP can offer a bigger burst, but Agi gives crit that helps to get those bursts more frequently.
As you said, agi increases dodge as well.

However not that Agi does not increase Spellcrit (ie Poison crit) while ap increases poison damage.

My advice would be to gem AP if you're using heavy PvP gear and gem Agi when swapping in some PvE gear (since your AP will be higher due to the PvE gear already). YMMV.

For the most part, what kills people, is burst. Mutilate and eviscerate on your end, and whatever your partners do. So hit and haste are rather poor stats. AP vs Agility is a close race for sure, with AP offering the highest amount of damage per. While agility increasing your chance of getting a crit-streak, in addition to what it does for you defensively. And the stat-weights for AP and Agility have shifted somewhat from 70->80, so I wouldn't rely on those.

I think Ming has written a couple of articles on rogue gemming/gearing @ World of Ming | WoW Riot | WotLK, Wrath of the Lich King, WoW, World of Warcraft, Arena Season 5 One today and some others before that.

Anyone have any tips for rogue/resto druid vs. war/resto druid these days? Without a dispel or any offensive pressure from my druid this fight is completely one sided. It's incredibly hard to even get a cyclone off with the 12 second charge nonsense going on...

One way to play would be to work towards bringing their druid OOM, without yours doing the same. Because a rogue just isn't going to be able to kill a restodruid with mana who doesn't suck. Let alone kill a good restodruid with a competent warrior peeling for him.
Switch targets whenever you can. Both to make the other druid hot up a new target, and to peel the warrior of your druid so he has to heal as little as possible. I'd say use your KS (into a cyclone -> swap back to druid) on the warrior, because you're not really going to kill a druid in one, you're just going to pressure him a tad (at best). And a stunned warrior isn't doing much damage to you, and it can also give your druid chances to drink.
Then again, the other team can do the same shit, and then no one is going to die. Enjoy 2v2!

5% hit from hit rating on gear = 5/5 Precision.
But you might as well skip precision and take something else in its stead if you have enough hit from gear.

I actually can't, I need 2% in precision to continue, unless I put it into Imp Gouge or Imp SnD

Talent Calculator - World of Warcraft is what I'm looking at. It's good for me because I use mostly PvP gear, and I'd rather not gem for hit if I can avoid it.

Edit: Bought my Slicer, and asked a GM to refund it within 6 hours. Mutilate is just that much better.

I think Combat is really only viable in 2v2, and perhaps in 3's in some sort of cleave-comp with DK or Warrior (BF+KiS+Bladestorm?).

On another note, after some math, I'm quite certain that Spike+Eviscerator > FoO+Eviscerator or FoO+FoO,
due to PvE rings being a superior choice (Cindershard+Brann25 or Brann25+10).

That is if you're aiming at Goggles+4pc with 600+ resilience without blue resilience gems.

Then again there's the fact that Spike is 3k points, while FoO will only cost you DKP, although in the long run that's not really relevant.

Don't attack him. Attack his partner and have your priest mana burn him and dispel Divine Plea.
