Hey guys, what's better for combat swords rogue, the master's treads or fel leather boots? Thanks!

Fel Leather Boots... definitely (at least imo).

Master's Treads vs. Fel Leather Boots

191 Armor < 196 Armor
48 AP < 36 AP + 6 AP socket bonus + (depending on what you socket with)
16 Hit < 25 Hit

Sure the Master's Treads has agi and Stam, but if you socket right, I still think the other stats are much better.

Well what exactly are your stats now? If possibly link your armory, that way I can see what'd work.

I dont know how to link my armory, but i have 1278 ap 193 hit and 17.72% crit if that helps and my agility is at 439

Is this YOU?

Couple of small ideas as well - you've got an awful lot of +stam EC...why stam over +6 all stats on chest? I also think there is an Aldor head inscription you get at revered (I'm scryer).

Also - executioner on the night blade - did you do that b/c the NB has armor ignore?

They're blues so I'm not going to be putting epic gems in, the highest I'd put in is rares. So we have say, two glinting nobles for +4 hit +4 agi.


The stats are

(24 agi vs 8 agi)* summed in other stats
(19 stamina vs 0 stamina) * summed in other stats


239 armor vs 212 armor
16 hit vs 33 hit
72 attack vs 50 attack
~.5% crit vs ~.5% crit
190 hp vs 0 hp
+1 stealth vs +0 stealth (about 5 levels worth)


So TO ME, its dependent on what you're doing. If you're off raiding kara, I'd probably go with the fel leather for the hit. Its important. For soloing, or normal instances, I'd be going with the master's treads.


just in case people wonder, if you put +16 attack/+8 hit

Master's treads
239 armor
16 hit
72 attack
~.5% crit
190hp
+1 stealth

Fel boots
196 armor
33 hit
58 attack
~.5% crit(less than before but I don't wanna try figuring it)
0hp
0 stealth

Comes out about the same, 8 more attack, slightly less crit

Actually, I'd socket +8 hit, +4 hit/+4agi gems I think!
+37 hit

Hey digital, how exactly did you calculate the armor? Thanks =)
#10 Apr 09 2008 at 9:39 AM Rating: Decent
Just have stam over nothing as im broke and dont have money for those enchants but im getting them when i can, only revered with aldor so not high enough for the better inscription yet and thats for shoulder the head one your thinking of is CE but also not high enough for that yet also, working on them both but as you know rep grinding is time and money consuming. As for night blade and Exe yeah got that as they both proc often and its the best one for that weap, putting mongoose on blinkstrike when i get the cash but want belt of deep shadows first, thanks for input all.

You could get the money for the CE enchant in about 1 day of dailies. The rep is a little more difficult, but just from running a few slave pens and underbogs and then doing the quests (not the other way around!)




That's what I'm going to do today after work because I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT IT until it was mentioned. Smiley: frown I have the rep even.

Ah that's right. I knew it had to be agi or something. Thanks
