Ok guys, I was wondering which Combat will be on top, close quarters, or swords? And which rotations will be used?

Ok cool. As of right now I have never seen CG drop in about 10 runs of H naxx. I have WD, and I also have Kel'Thuzad's 10 man fist weapon. Should I just use those for right now?

Untill something better drops i don't think you have a choice tbh

Is it only me who sees the Prayer of the Week to be loss of 5 points. It's only needed to grab KS.
It's not very common situation that your raid boss is under your health o.O
Is the KS really so good talent?

The talent is %age based. If you are routinely at a lower %age of your total health than a boss mob, something very odd is happening.

I keep seeing people flip flop on the topic of Hyperspeed Accelerators vs Crusher enchant for gloves, so here is the math.
Crusher is +44 AP.
Hyperspeed Accelerators are an average of 56.6 haste (340 haste for 10 secs once per minute)

If the EP weights for AP and Haste are still accurate for 3.1, then haste EP for Mutilate is 1.6 and Combat is 1.4. AP is worth 1 point by definition. At those values, Crusher is worth 44 points for both Mutilate and Combat. Hyperspeed Accelerators are worth 90.56 for Mutilate and 79.24 for Combat.

In other words, Hyperspeed Accelerators > Crusher Enchant for gloves.

Though, the advantage from Engineering is still MUCH less than the advantage from any other non-gathering profession.

Conclusion: If you're an Engineer, pick up Hyperspeed Accelerators instead of Crusher. If you aren't an Engineer, it is NOT worth switching to get this enchant, as its effects are marginal.

Grenades don't seem to reset swingtimer. I don't know if rockets still resets the swingtimer after 3.1.

So Engineering does have it's perks on a static dps dps fight.

I've had a lot of success binding use trinkets or items to activate when I use SnD.

i.e.
/use <slot#>
/cast SnD

...or some variation.

It's difficult to find a situation where you would want to start a SnD and wouldn't be attacking a mob to get the use out of the item. This is especially helpful with the Accelerators being a haste item, and you would ideally want to stack all your haste buffs anyways.

This obviously won't be better than activating them RIGHT as they get off cooldown, but for people who forget to use them at all it's a good fix.

The pocket guide is now updated for 3.1. Most of the information is derived from various posts on the rogue forums concerning 3.1 and also from Aldriana's and Mavanas' spreadsheets. Thanks to all who contributed, most especially Aldriana and Mavanas. Please let me know if there are any errors or discrepancies in this guide and I will update it as soon as possible.

The glyphs are incorrect on the currently posted ones.

Interesting...



I'm assuming that you have similar glyphs when you click the link from the guide, while I get TotT, Sap, and Backstab from the guide link...
