Is my Rogue geared right?

I heard from some one BoAs might be better weapons but i'm not 100% on that. Your toons looks pretty darn good though! It is definetely playable.
 
I'm completely new to bracket and twinking itself, but my general philosophy about itemizing as a rogue is to get as much agility as possible. Also, I see a lot of rogues use those GF'd 1 handers. If you do that, I think you are dramatically gimping your ambush damage for a slight damage increase on hemo. That trade isn't worth it imo as ambush damage is still SUPER important at 39 (even though I'm sure lots of people would disagree). But anyway, just from looking at your gear, I would reccomend:

GEAR

1. Switching neck to WSG neck (more agi)
2. Getting the cloak from Mara (haste is useless)
3. Bracers are nice but the +agi ones would have been better
4. Switching gloves for gloves of Holy Might
5. Switching boots for AB Boots with Crit/Agi and Enchant them with Dexterity
6. Swapping out Aquamarine Ring of Monkey to Agility
7. Swapping other ring to either WSG Ring or DM Crit/Agi/Stam ring or Bag ring of the Bandit
8. Getting Searing words trinket from Scholomance
9. Getting a second on use trinket (there's one from Scarlet Monastery and one from a quest, both are good)

ENCHANTS

1. Shoulder enchant is fine but I prefer Aldor one
2. Cloak enchant is good, I was also considering getting that one over 9 agi, both are good
3. Swapping out chest enchant for +4 all stats
4. Switch bracer enchant to either Greater Assault or +8 agil
5. Dexterity on boots once you get AB boots

SPEC
You are playing nightstalker, which I think leans more towards the 19 ambush playstyle. If you do want to play with those weapons, I think Subterfuge is better, as you don't need the extra damage on opener.

I personally like rogues with a balanced set of stamina and agility.

Yeah, I tried to gear myself the way Rogues have always geared in this bracket. I was going for more of a control setup opposed to a glass cannon one. It sucks that we don't have Kidney shot anymore for the control. Based on the games I played last night, I feel that the glass cannon set could be more effective for actually killing things. I'm only missing a few pieces for it that I'm going to have to get from instances. Sadly, I have no agility earthens.

Anyways, I sort of have an idea of what changes I'm going to make. Thanks.

fird run me through instances :D
 
I'm still not convinced glass cannon is the way to go for 39. Even though we lost kidney, we still have a lot of cc to contribute to team fights. And since DS is almost always up on our opener's the damage will still be there.

Comparing my glass cannon set to my balanced set I lose 1.2k hp for 100 more ap and 5% crit. Not sure if it's entirely worth it to be honest.

I was able to get a friend to run me, thanks though.
 
2 sets

1 Mongoloid Retard set when your sustained presence is either less effective or not viable (Mid fights to allow gibs/base fights where burst is going to give a higher chance of returning the flag)

1 Balanced Stam/Agil set for when survivability is more important (you having a higher HP pool allows for a few more precious moments to allow healers/peels come in and save you. It also allows for you to stay alive for longer if soloing somewhere that provides more benefit to your team)

You are on the right track but not all of the items you listed are BIS. For both your information and OP's information I have linked my rogues armory to show the perfect agility set for subtlety spec, provided the enchants to cloak/bracers are grandfathered.

How much did that rogue cost you Tapout? <3



Further edit, my boy Soskanky helped me out with enchants and stuff on Doomhammer, should be good to go. Thanks Skanky <3
