Quote:Had a look at the rogue talents, wasn't too impressed with the new ones. However the old ones are very good and 61 points to spend is great
Interesting Tidbit: Anyone who grabs Suprise Attacks, as it stands, lowers their DPS. Run through a small script:
Quote:GIVENS:
base backstab: 600
crit backstab (4/5 lethality): 1344
backstab energy: landed = 60, dodged = 11
backstab critrate: 60% (30% spellbook, 30% from talents)
sample time: 3 hours (10800 seconds)
energy generated in this time: 108000
miss/block/parry factoring: attacking from behind, enough tohit to never miss
WITHOUT TALENT:
1877 swings:
94 dodged (5.01% dodge)
657 hits (35.00% hit)
1126 crits (59.99% crit)
energy used: (94 * 11) + ((657 + 126) * 60) = 108014 (+/- 14 energy)
dps = damage / time = ((657 * 600) + (1126 * 1344)) / 10800 = 176.6 DPS
WITH TALENT:
1800 swings:
0 dodged (0.00% dodge)
720 hits (40.00% hit)
1080 crits (60.00% crit)
energy used: (1800 * 60) = 108000 (+/- 0 energy)
dps = damage / time = ((720 * 600) + (1080 * 1344)) / 10800 = 174.4 DPS
DPS Before Talent = 176.6
DPS After Talent = 174.4
I though it was bad (as in completely not worth going for) before. Now that I've seen this (the key is dodged Backstabs take very little energy), I realize it's borderline incompetent.
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
