Rogue Build

Troll zerking now doesn't suck completely. I'm not sure it is worth giving up on other racials, but I did use /combatlog and saw the speed bonus from Slice and Dice and zerking stacked in 1.9.x.

Hrm... now that I think about it, I think the issue with the zerking speed bonus used to be that it didn't stack with Blade Fury; I must check this when I get home. If it does, my troll roguette should be able to get a 70% attack speed increase when I use Fury, zerk, and SnD, assuming that the 10 to 30% attack speed bonus is a linear function of your health (since I typically hit it when I'm at about half health).

On the subject of Hand of Justice, I note you specify that the bonus attack caused by Hand of Justice is a mainhand attack. The reason I was bumping about in my combat log was to verify this very thing. I picked the Hand of Justice up this weekend, and was concerned at first, since my dps over a half hour of Twilight farming in Silithus didn't show an increase in dps from my previous evening's. That turned out to be a fluke; another hour of farming showed an increase over my trinket from Raventusk. However, while looking through the combat log, I saw several cases that I was fairly certain showed an offhand attack triggering a Hand of Justice offhand attack (although there were far more cases of an offhand attack causing Handing of Justice to trigger a mainhand attack). It could be the timestamps in the combat log being screwy, though; the combat log uses the client's clock, and it looks like messages from the server sometimes get bunched up together and then shipped out in a rearranged or arbitrary order. Perhaps this is the doings of a messaging function on the server that is responsible for queuing up messages for delivery to clients, or perhaps the messages are being sent by UDP (which might explain by I occasionally found a section of time where there seemed to be a missing mainhand attack).
