High level trinket questionFollow

#1 Nov 05 2007 at 9:40 AM Rating: Decent
Whats up guys, I've been playing a rogue as my main since I started WoW, I just love everything the class offers. I'm very proud of the progress I've made and generally top the dmg meters in Kara and most other raids. Currently I have over 1700 Unbuffed AP, but my hit rating suffers as a result of it, it sits currently at only 151. I know there are other ways to get that a bit higher but hate to sacrifice my AP.

My question to you guys is this speficially. Which combination of the following 4 trinkets would you use? I currently have all 4 and am not sure which is the best combination.

Bloodlust Brooch
Romulos Poison Vial
Abascus of Violent Odds
Hourglass of the Unraveller

I currently have Bloodlust Brooch and Hourglass as my trinkets. What combination would you guys recommend? I almost always top the dmg meters so should I even mess with it?

edit - I meant to say that I have Bloodlust and Abascus as my current trinkets.
Heres a link to my armory, any advice to squeeze out even more DPS would be appreciated. I'm also aware that I should be going for the Dragonspine in Gruuls, I'm currently just beginning Gruuls and Mags right now.

I've been following your guys advice for over a year now and this is my first post, you've never steered me wrong before and I thank you for that. Any advice to keep me ahead of the game would be awesome.

Your hit is kinda low(150ish), I'd go with the Poison Vile and Bloodlust brooch. You might wanna switch some gems in your sockets too, pick up the +agi/+hit gems(glinting x). Remember +hit is the cheapest way to increase your dps(until you are hitcapped), so even if you lose some ap by increasing your hit, your overall dam will be better.

edit - According to the latest spreadsheet on EJs, Brooch and Vial are the highest dps combination, the next best is Abbacus and Brooch. The worst trinket for sustained dps is by far the Hourglass.

Definately the Brooch, and I'd say it's a toss-up between the Abacus and the Hourglass for your other trinket. The only reason that I can't answer you definitively is because I'm still not keen on the haste nerf that 2.2 brought about, so I don't know how the Abacus compares to the Hourglass anymore.

Cool, I just made some adjustments, I threw on the Edgewalker boots and put some nice gems in those and improved some other things.

I also just looked and apparently dont have the vial, maybe I was just mistaken but I could have sworn I had it. So next time in Kara if it drops I'll be grabbing it, no one else in my group wants it.

In anycase, the end result after the changes and putting on the Vial will be a hit rating of 187 and nearly 1700 AP anyway with the changes in gear and gems I just made. I'll also keep an eye out for better +hit gems, there wasn't very many on the AH currently.

Losing Abascus will hurt, that Haste rating was pretty sweet, but in the overall raid I think I'll come out much higher now. Thanks for the advice, if anyone else wants to give their opinion I'd still appreciate it.

+10 for stealing a priest name :)


Surefooted boot enchant
That shoulder enchant looks pretty bad, but I guess your not aldor.
+15 agi on your glove if you raid with kings
change your crit/dodge and AP gems for 4hit/4agi
Personal I'de run poison vial and brooch, but what you have is "better" I think you just need the hit though.

Get some gold together for a belt of deep shadows :) Other than that you look to have a great start for having not much kara gear

I'm a Medic in RL, but I tell people I enjoy the irony of having a Rogue with that name, lol. Only non Priest in WoW with that name!

Thanks, I made some more adjustments and I have an enchanter buddy working on getting that boot enchant. All in all I think I'm respectable for raiding but will try and get better. Once I have that enchant on my boots my main 3 stats will be...

AP = 1780
Crit = %20
Hit = 172

I'm also trying to find some gems but there is a frustrating shortage on th AH for good plus hit. Once I get the shoulders from chess and the vial I should be sitting pretty nice for Gruuls/Mags I think. I fully believe that I'll easily keep my AP over 1700 easily with a hit rating over 200. I am constantly trying to squeeze everything I can out of that Rogue.
