I've been seeing a lot of premades lately to go and lose the BGs. Worth it?

Back on topic. Here's the WWS from our first shade of akama kill. Leylette was combat Daggers, and undergeared. Elaii is combat swords, and outgeared me slightly at the time. I would have had much higher DPS, but I timed my cooldowns poorly, as it was our first go at it, and I thought I'd have them back up by the time Shade popped out.

I had a 0.6% chance to be dodged, I doubt that played a large factor. I could post half a dozen more logs where I outdamage the other rogues by 150-200 DPS on normal fights, but this one illustrates the point well enough.

I couldn't help but notice you brought Yimine and Jerdatty to a raid, Sorry to hear that. I have grouped with both of them and have been let down hard by their lack of common sense.

I've been giving Jerdatty some advice on how to improve his play. He's young (high school age), so his understanding of rogue mechanics isn't exactly ideal.

Yimine is an alt. Her main is a warrior, and she's actually a fairly decent tank.

In WWS report order;

Well, he beat you on Naj'entus, so I'm not sure what your point is. He pulled 890 DPS and you got 861 DPS. The "DPS" lists on Naj'entus are often just wrong, go by damage done divided by fight length.

In this case, it looks like it counted him as still being in combat since he didn't turn off autoattack when Naj'entus had Tidal Shield up, which means that even though he beat you in damage he had less "DPS" since it was counting additional time. He still beat you.

He died on the second report, so... okay?

On the third report, you did 4% more damage than he did... presumably in FR gear, because I hope there's no way for you to lose to casters on Azgalor without being silenced in normal gear. It's not the fight I'd use for damage comparison for the same reason you wouldn't pick Shahraz.

On the fourth report, it's... Supremus. The fight is pretty awful for melee DPS.

So... do you not have a decent WWS? Okay then.

EDIT: You may indeed be the better Rogue, but the WWS's you're quoting to prove it aren't helping your case very much.

That assumes you are on the target 100% of the time. If you run off to get a spine, it borks your DPS. if you get hit by a spine, it borks your DPS. If you have to stop to bandage, it borks your DPS. Also, I never turn auto-attack off when he shields, because it's currently bugged and you can still build CPs. His higher presence is most likely due to him pulling out fewer spines. We both bandaged twice.

9 Minutes into the fight, before he had a chance to have his DPS ****** up by shock barrier, spamming kick, running from phoenixes and getting mind controlled.


Yes, we were both in FR gear, in about the same amount.


And the last time I checked, we were both melee DPS, so a comparison is fair. It's not like he had to wait longer than me to get back on in Phase 1.


If you really want I'll go dig through the WWS reports and find other raids we were in together, but they're going to be pretty old and likely from SSC. The guild took about a 3 week break over the holidays, and my computer was ****** up so I couldn't raid for a while before and after. He didn't join long before the holidays, and frequently got benched because we used to have 7 main rogues.

In hope of getting flammed too, I'm gonna go ahead and say I'm a much better rogue then Broseph in those meters I posted.

Oh yeah. I went there.

Lawl, your hunter used serpent sting and aimed shot.
