And again, S4 feral druid bracers > rogue...Follow

S4 gear is up on the PTR. Looks like again, S4 feral druid bracers are better than S4 rogue bracers.

Also, we may be having a debate about boot enchants, as we've gained 15 hit on our gear alone, and 2 on weapons (though how many of us will be getting weapons realistically?)

Here are the two sets I'm talking about.

Rogue S4

Feral S4

Also, S3 will cost 1500 arena points for head/chest/legs, 1200 for shoulders, and 900 for gloves in S4.

To recap for people that missed it, here are the requirements for the S4 gear, including honor gear:

Head - 1700
Neck - None
Shoulders - 2200
Chest - 1600
Bracers - 1575
Gloves - None
Belt - None
Legs - 1550
Boots - 1700
Ring - 1650
Trinket - None
Weapons - 2050

S3 weapons and shoulders will be brought down 50 rating to purchase, to 1800 for weapons, and 1950 for shoulders.

Thanks for the info. I hope my toon doesn't look as retarded as the one pictured. Human males never do the sets any justice.

Christ that Rogue outfit looks retarded.

Doesn't look like leather at all. Not very Roguish either (dark, scary, mysterious)

I thought I read somewhere that offhands would have no requirement.

True? Or was I asleep and dreaming?

this is huge for rogues, yes XD

Bonescythe > Assassination (Assasination is basically recoloured bonescythe with less daggers). Lore wise, the regal look only really fits for human rogues (who are often lords, such as Ravenholdt) but who cares. It still looks stealthy, although cowls > all other kinds of head gear.

If Slayer didn't have some ******** head and had a proper cowl then it'd look brilliant. Better than Bloodfang? Probably not, but it'd probably take 3rd place for me (after Bonescythe and Bloodfang).

Nightslayer had potential but the "bra" shoulders ruin it for me, even though they are lol.

I personally like T5, although I'd like it more if the dagger sheaths on the shoulders actually had daggers in them. They ruined it on the arena set recolour, though.

T4 is OK in concept, but the colour scheme makes it look shiny, like something out of Planetside.

That was some tangent.

TBH I hate T2. I had to stare at it on my rogue for something like a year.

I love T3 and T5, and I totally agree with you Kavekk, T6 would look amazing if it didn't have the incredibly gay helm (which is why I hide my helm in PvP gear).

I honestly think that simple is better when it comes to rogue gear. Just make us look like ******* sweet ninjas and I think everyone would be happy.

T2 looks terrible... the cowl is not bad, but the rest of is is so 'blah'.

T5 is pretty cool and T6 is awesome if you go /nohelm.

warning! incoming nublet question...

Okay, I have the dps spreadsheet from rogue.raid.com and I plug my shadowstep sub spec and enter all my gear...

When I enter S4 leather bracers and stick a +16ap red gem into the socket the spreadsheet says it's better than the dragonhide with the same enchant and gem. I lose the socket bonus since I'm putting a red gem into a yellow socket in the leather bracers but the overall dps goes up a fraction.

Can someone explain why I should use the dragonhide bracers vs the leather one?

okay, thanks Theo for clearing that up. And yeah I just got in the habit of using the spreadsheet for pve but thought I could use it for pvp as well. /faceplam
