US combat rogue

[digital]

I have a couple of questions about outlaw

Is it worth it to play combat if you don't have glaives?

Whats the best secondary stat?

Also I've seen some armorys here and I've seen people really love socket pieces just for that extra gem? Is that really worth it when you are not getting secondary stats like crit and haste? And even some versa?

Agility gives passive crit right? But is it worth it to cut yourself out of secondary stats for that 10 agility? And ive seen some pieces with less agility like from tier 5 so overall its only like a 7-8 agility gain and of course a lower ilvl (which i know doesnt mean too much)

Thoughts?

i lawled. Also, the reason we stay away from lower ilvl pieces is because highest ilvl pieces usually cooralate BIS for raiding. Agility no longer gives passive crit, and secondary stats don't weigh the same as they did in the day and are not required as strongly as main stat for most classes, id say outlaw requires about 25-32% haste and it is still fine without glaives, just very boring

its still ok without glaives, but with glaives in pve youre going to do alot more damage.https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/character/korgath/jeux
also, i used blackberry's rogue to come up with the haste and crit numbers.(mine doesnt have glaives)

rotation/priority
keep roll the bones buff up 100% and re cast roll the bones at 3 sec or less remaining.
use 5pt between the eyes on cd, 5pt run through when btte is on cd.
adrenaline rush on cd

broadsides is by far the best buff from roll the bones. grand melee is second.
i used 3 pt roll the bones to fish for 1 of these 2. 3 pts = 30 sec buff.
when you let a buff ride for the full duration, refresh roll the bones with 5 pts at 3 sec or less remaining.
expect 90% 1 or 2 buff rolls.
