What I've been using for Crit Cap (at least for now) is Critical Strike Chance Cap Calculator. Search for it on google, it works pretty well and will give you a decent idea if you're at the crit cap or not.

Edit: It is an exe file, but I scanned it and have been using it without issue (in case you were curious about that).

I just wanted to make sure I'm calculating Sinister Strike damage correctly:

(Attack Power / 14) * Normalized Weapon Speed + Weapon Damage + 180* = Damage

Ex:
AP: 5270
NWS: 2.4
Weapon DMG: 394-732

minimum = (376.4) * 2.4 + 394 + 180 = 1477.42
maximum = (376.4) * 2.4 + 732 + 180 = 1815.36

w/ 3/3 Improved Sinister Strike (30% increase) + w/ Aggression (15% increase)
Would I multiply these numbers by 1.45 or (1.3)(1.15)?

*This is taken from the untalented Sinister Strike tooltip while in Combat spec the tooltip reads +261 damage which is 180 * 1.45

Your calculation for sinister strike is correct and as your plus damage indicates, Improved Sinister Strike and Aggression are additive and are simplified to 1.45. A couple other reminders, if you are trying to calculate your sinister strike damage, don't forget to include damage reduction from your target’s armor and that the plus damage component changes based on what level you are (I believe it’s 200 for an untalented level 85). Also, if you are trying to get an average, you can put in (weapon_base_dps * weapon_base_speed) in place of the damage range you have for “Weapon Damage”.

Can anyone tell me the exact name (for needtoknow addon) of the DoT applied by the Hemo glyph?

I thought it was just "Hemorrhage" but that only tracks the 1 minute debuff hemo puts onto a target.

Have anyone figured what's the best ring combination atm?

Just a quick EP calculation shows Frostbrood Sapphire Ring comes a few EP ahead of Band of the Bone Colossus for combat.

So FBSR > BBC

Now, I guess Ashen Band of Endless Vengeance dropped dramaticly in value after the AP value drop compared to the other stats, so would that be placed last now?

As in:

1: Signet of Twilight
2: Frostbrood Sapphire Ring
3: Band of the Bone Colossus
4: Ashen Band of Endless Vengeance

And alternatively Seal of Many Mouths between 3 & 4. But that ring wouldn't be very desireable anyway due to going past the exp cap while wearing 4/5 + shoulders as offpiece

Well. actually it's not THAT simple.

Assuming standard gemming (Deft Ametrine in Yellow, Delicate Cardinal Ruby in Red) and Heroic versions, the DPS-relevant stats and their EP values, as well as their total EP value (according to Aldriana's EP values in the 4.01 FAQ) would be:


Frostbrood Sapphier Ring

Statistics	Assass. EP	Combat EP
122 Agility	341.6	351.36
64 Crit	99.2	103.68
68 Haste	149.6	153
Total EP	590.4	608.04

Band of the Bone Colossus

Statistics	Assass. EP	Combat EP
116 Agility	324.8	334.08
62 Hit	111.6	104.78
75 Haste	165	168.75
Total EP	601.4	607.61

Signet of Twilight

Statistics	Assass. EP	Combat EP
123 Agility	344.4	354.24
57 Hit	102.6	96.33
10 Haste	22	22.5
73 Crit	113.15	118.26
Total EP	582.15	591.33

The Ashen Verdict ring is worse than those, lacking some stats. I calculated it some time ago with Aldriana's estimation of the procc's EP, but can't find the estimation anymore. I remember the total EP was ~580 or so, but with less potential for reforging than Ring of Twilight.

Assuming you reforge best-case, i.e. the lowest EP stat to the highest possible (ignoring expertise and hit caps, really only looking at Aldriana's EP table):

Item	Assass. EP	Combat EP
Frostbrood Sapphire Ring	598.3	609.86
Band of the Bone Colossus	603.9	607.61
Signet of Twilight	601.65	610.23

Conclusion is that the Band and Signet are BiS for Mutilate, while the Ring and the Signet are such for Combat, however, the differences are quite small.

I have a question that I have not found the answer for.

Would it ever be a bad idea for mut rogues to equip a 1.8 dagger on the OH if your 1.4 OH is considerably worse?

I understand that with a slower OH you're sacrificing less deadly stacks and hurting poisons procs, but just wanted to make sure.

Great, thanks. Also, have anyone found a good addon to track >35% hp on the target?

Power Auras

Anyone know if any of the discussed buffs (Combat or Muti) have been implemented in today's 4.03 patch?

Thanks

After the cata pre-patch I switched from Combat to Assassination using 2x H Rib Spreader. I knew the slow speed of the Spreader was detrimental to my DPS, but I figured that since they got rid of Focused Attacks that the slow speed wouldn't be as big of a deal as it might have been in the past.

This past week I got lucky and an H Lungbreaker dropped. I gained around 800-1k instant poison DPS on Festergut relative to the weeks prior, as well as 100-200 deadly DPS, with little to no mutilate/melee dps loss.

In short, even if you have a 251 slow OH as assassination even after the 4.0.1 pre-patch, the LPC is probably close to an upgrade. The lack of any agility hurts it a lot going past that iLvl I would think.
