Yeah, I've chosen the eyepatch over the shield in stocks but I think that was the only conflict besides argas ring.
As you can see in my sig I have already done separate shammies in horde side and don't feel like doing it again nor having 4 shammies.. The ring combination that came to my mind was dpr+agi argas and dpr+gloaming band... idk if thats bis cause I've never rolled alli side before

Looking towards WoD, Eyepatch over shield was probably a good choice for ele, being that hit on gear is turning to crit, and spirit is only going to benifit healers.

What happened to http://www.twinkinfo.com/forums/f148/hath%F4rs-5-4-f2p-comprehensive-rogue-pvp-guide-55753/? Has Achmed deleted account?

Anyway, was curious to know what the conventional wisdom was regarding BoA priority for sub rogues (nelf).

Stained Shadowcraft Spaulders then Balanced Heartseeker. For sub, it really doesn't matter after that.

As far as the author Achmed, he's "banned". Which sounds like a clever ploy. And I don't like ploys. Neither does Google Cache/NSA. So in the the interest of national security, I have hacked the internet to bring you this:







Gear
Introduction
Probably you’ve heard so many times the BiS term. Some of you don’t know yet what does BiS is. Basically, BiS comes from Best In Slot, best gear available ingame for your specialization and level. Currently I don’t believe there is an exact BiS gear set for rogues. It all comes to your playstyle. You can go a glass-cannon (best dmg-wise gear) or you can go balanced (balance between stam/agi/crit). Since rogues are not quite good FC’ers, there’s no point to talk about a stamina FC set, not since Shadowstep was moved from our T1 talent tree.

But even so, on my personal testings and knowledge shows that for Assassination you must go for Crit before Agility and for Subtlety you should prioritize Agility instead of Crit. Why? Subtlety benefits the most from Agility because of Sinister Calling. Also, since you rely mostly on huge opening bursts, you need a lot Attack Power, Attack Power that comes also from Agility. I’m not talking about Combat spec because it’s not viable, no matter what some say, it really isn’t viable at this lvl. But as a personal note, for those Combat lovers, I’d suggest some balance between Agility and Crit.

Now since we’re clear about Agility/Crit we should focus on our most important stat that we need to focus first always! This is Hit. We need to get hitcapped(3%) or else, no matter how much Agility or Crit we stack, our dmg output will suck because we will miss a lot. Trust me, it’s not fun at all to miss an Ambush or 2-3 Mutilates in a row.

That’s why, always when we gear up for bg’s and not only, we should focus on getting our hitcap.

Wrist: +1 agi (Enchant Bracer – Minor Agility)

p.s. Sorry, to do this to you, Achmed. But it's in the interests of "transparency".

Thanks srsbsns! This is most of what i wanted - in fact i've never seen this particular table before. Rad!
Somewhere someone took those two tables (race/base stat & class/stat bonus) and applied it to twinks so that our community would know which race/class combos gave us the greatest advantage. Anyone know where that is?
Click to expand...
a class/race combo stat?
maybe what you looking for is under each of the class overview, take shaman from wowpedia for example,
it have all the stat for each race lvl1 able to create shaman,
but I question the shaman stat information. in the table, it seem pandarian have 30~40%more stam than tauren(typo?)

Yea thanks - good thought. I know about those. This table was different. I can't remember if it was on twinkinfo or some other twinking site. But what it did was lay out a table to show for each class the race that would have best base stats given racial bonusus. I also remember it was pre-mop so pandarans weren't on it.

I tried to give away an acct but the receiver got stuck on the security question and I can't remember the answer. The three previous times I've given an account away, it was successful . . . but damn this one.


What can be done to get around the security Q&A? I'm not in the US now and phones are fucking expensive here in Latin America, so I'm not going to call customer services.

If your account have your real name, scan your real id -> open ticket and attache scanned id to it. describe issue, they maybe help you.
If your acc got fake name - there is nothing to be done. only to recall the question answer

Under the new ticket system, you make a ticket, and they call you, so you wouldn't be able to call them, even if you had the money. Hopefully that will save save you some dollars/reals/pesos.

Does the +2 scope still drop from those crates in Gnomer

If so, does anyone know the drop rate? I must have the worst luck. I've done at least 15 full clears getting all four crates and have not seen it yet. It took me less time to farm Swiftness potion/minor agility recipes than it is this damn scope.
Click to expand...

Yes it does, and according to wowhead it's 1.3% chance

But does wowhead distinguish between the crates from Deadmines from the ones in Gnomeregian (and so on)? I'm sure the drop rate is higher.

Basically, wowhead claims P(+2)=.013 (probability of +2 scope dropping is .013 [or 1.3%]).
However, we know that the probability of a +2 scope dropping from deadmine crates is effectively 0 (that is, P(+2|Deadmine)=0)), yet P(+2|Gnomer)>0. So I'm very sure that P(+2|Gnomer)=P(+2)>.013.
