Recluse
Grandfathered
It has been too long that we rogues argue over what stats are better than others. Some rogues like haste, some rogues like crit, some rogues like glass cannon. The BiS dream was on a per rogue basis, each rogue could only infer what that meant...
I am now pleased to provide you an excel spreadsheet which compiles all stats (Attack Power, Haste, Crit, Versatility, Multistrike, & Weapon Damage) which can be manipulated by you to determine your true BiS.
Please download from the dropbox links below:
Combat Rogue DPS Stats Spreadsheet (v 1.03)
(Edit 1: Replaced Damage Reductions with Min / Max DPS - easier to read DPS calcs. Max DPS is calculated if ALL damage crits and multistrikes)
(Edit 3: Poisons can proc off multistrike)
Assassination Rogue DPS Stats Spreadsheet (v1.01)
(Edit 1: Per request, slice and dice is always active)
WARNING: When downloading these spreadsheets, you may have to turn Iterations on. Please go to File > Excel Options > Formulas > & Enable Iterative Calculations. Sinister Strike & 5pt Eviscerate / Mutilate & Envenom depend on this.
**All stats in yellow can be manipulated by you.** These values are applied to all attacks (Ambush, Revealing Strike, Sinister Strike, Mutilate, Envenom, 5pt Eviscerate, Melee Damage, Deadly Poison, & Elemental Force) over a certain time duration.
All Combat Rogues will follow the same standard rotation: Ambush, Revealing Strike on cooldown, Sinister Strike until 5 combo points, Eviscerate, repeat.
All Assassination Rogues will follow the same standard rotation: Ambush, Mutilate x2, Envenom, repeat. It is assumed Slice and Dice is always active, but you could remove the *1.4 from MH & OH Melee Hits and the 8 *1.4 from the # of Deadly Poison Ticks if you wish.
Combat duration and haste will determine how many times you can cast each move. It is assumed Nightstalker is your chosen talent for both spreadsheets.
Both spreadsheets are an average calculation of all moves. Critical Strike and Multistrike are applied to DPS as a complete average percentage. Deadly Poison and Elemental Force are calculated the same way. The time between Elemental Force procs is a 50% chance calculation. It is assumed Elemental Force is enchanted to both weapons.
Weapon Normalization is a stat that depends on your MH Weapon (Dagger / Sword). If you should want a dagger as your MH Weapon (for the Combat Rogue Spreadsheet), please change this value to 1.7 and times Ambush by an additional 40% (because a dagger is equiped). The Assassination Rogue Spreadsheet already assumes this.
Obviously the DPS shown in these calculations seem higher than what you may see from Skada or Recount. Please take into consideration that after your last melee damage or damage taken, it takes ~6 seconds to remove yourself from combat (which would hinder your DPS). Also consider physical damage reductions and your imperfections at real time pvp.
ERRORS IN DESIGN: There are, of course, a few errors when I created these spreadsheets. Some I could work around, others I could not, and some are just too damn complicated for me to try and think about. THE LARGEST ERROR with the Combat Rogue Spreadsheet is the extra combo point that could be applied from a sinister strike while revealing strike is active. I have no freaking clue how I could show this in an excel file, please understand. OTHER MARGINAL ERRORS with both spreadsheets would include wrongly shown Tooltip DMG. The maximum amount of error in these calculations should only be plus or minus 1 damage. I figure this is due to weird WoW rounding, but should still be close enough to its average damage for it not to matter too much. The only spell that differs is Envenom. If you should wish to calculate Envenom outside BG, please change +8 to +4. I really don't know why this is, but it holds true from my tests. Envenom calculations from Wowhead are quite insane. Deadly Poison will also be one that deviates, but the formula was taken straight from Wowhead. Envenom will increase poison proc by 30% for the 5 seconds after it's cast. Also, I do not believe Elemental Force scales with attack power, but it does have some sort of damage range and can increase with versatility and other damage increasing buffs. Elemental Force was also taken straight from Wowhead. If you should find any other errors, have any questions with this spreadsheet, or tips for improvement, please ask and I will try my best to respond or even update the spreadsheet.
Thanks & Enjoy
