Hello, what is the BiS gear for rogue atm? Is it full agility with double shadowfang or versatility gear?

Could anyone please link some rogues that have the best gear for lvl 19 atm.

bg crate chest piece with verse is bis for every build
I have that chest, gloomshroud, and prospector's ilvl 23 chest... for straight up agility, dark leather is bis for attainable. You're right though, you'll get slightly more damage with the 7vers 3crit (or 3haste) bg chest; .5 versatility < 3 crit

BiS, WHEN STATS MATTER FOR ONCE, just go glass cannon Versatility>Agililty and aim for 1.1k+ Healthpool. The Stats that came with BfA should should benefit your play-style.

Wut?



@Gavan theres a guide in my sig that covers gear. Most people recommend the glass cannon gear. Its prob not a bad idea to have a general set and a "stealth" set with full movespeed/catseye - but that depends on how competitive you are.

yeah I have tested wsg neck vs heirloom neck and there is no difference in damage at all, so might as well take the heal.
Think he only has this for purposes of getting his agility as high as possible not the actual damage out put
 
ther is no default "bis" set. i use like 3 sets on my rogue currently, glass cannon, a more balanced set, and a heavy stam set

honestly ive enjoyed the stam set a lot recently, as i only lose like 8-9 damage on my sinister strike tooltip but go from 1200 hp to 1701. its pre tight

my rogue for anyone curious (dunno what i logged out in)

While glass cannon has its place for assassinating an unsuspecting player or trying to kill the EFC before they can heal or get away, a lot of people pass up on the more balanced options that work pretty well in many other situations. A lot of the quickblade/adaptable pieces are pretty close in damage to their glass cannon counterparts, but also have a significant amount of stam (and verse) that let you live a lot longer. Prospector Chest is a budget version of gloomshroud and probably easier to snag than the BG crate chest with the right stats. Prospector legs sacrifice 3 agi for a whopping 9 stam. Feet of the lynx or BG crate boots don't sacrifice much damage at all for a lot of stats. Switching touch of the void for insignia is an option if you're playing where you need the trinket more often. Parachute cloak I'd say you lose too much agi going to something like Sporid Cape - but I have the cape with gift of verse for my speed/FC sets.

Saxx - you're currently in glass cannon gear. I'd love to see the more stam-based set.

But yeah. Go get multiple sets.
 
Multiple sets are the way to go, have a glass cannon set with saltwaters and a stam/verse balanced set at all times, you'll always find you need both in a BG, just switch between them when you need it.
I always run with two Shadowfangs because I (personally) find my damage output seems and feels higher than when I have a BG axe as my mainhand, but I still have one for those longer fights where you may not be opening bursting a whole lot. It's great to have the option to switch out.

Haven't seen it mentioned either but using Heavy Sharpening Stones will make your sharp weapon damage increase.
Can also use them for Fury but apply the weightstones for a huge haste buff. cheap and easy to make if you have Blacksmithing.
Thought i'd drop it in as I haven't seen it mentioned in the Quick start guide (or I could be blind)

Quick start guide covers gear mostly. I'm not a huge fan of consumables and don't really know most beyond the obvious food/sharpening stones/wizard oil/gliders. Theres a bunch of more obscure stuff that I got no clue on since i don't use em.

Something to add is the Underbelly Banquet, costs a lot (or you can farm it on a main) serves lots and gives a huge stat buff to agility. Good for wargames and parties. I'm a big fan of consumables so i'm always testing to see what works and what doesnt.
As far as I remember it gives a 10 agility food buff
