Pros only please----

I'm about to make a mad dash for 1850 ... I have my friends, Full S3 hunter and Druid ready to do 3s with me one night this week.

The Druid already helped me reach 1846 once ... sad story ... But suffice to say his patience may be limited.

Anyway, so I've been trying to max out my Rogue as much as I can without spending arena points (I have 3300 banked, saving them for S3 weapon).

(See linky to Trubbles in my Sig).

I am sitting at 78 hit rating, 1 lower than recommended. That is only 0.05% lower than cap so I'm okay with leaving it there.

I have 613 agi right now. Yes, I know my offhand would be better off with Mongoose. I have the S1 off hand mace w/ Mongoose, but I wanted to try the Kael drop sword for the armor mitigation. As of now, with Serrated blades and my gear, I have about 1030 armor mitigation without expose.

The 613 Agi is pretty high. I could notch it a bit higher but I don't want to waste the 20 AP gem in my helm. I could put one in my chest but I don't really think it's worth it.

I was thinking of putting +6 stats on my chest, but it would drop my resil down to 295. I have gear to get as high as 360 resil, but I feel that I'm better off with more AP/crit/agi and less resil. I have the S1 shoulders but swapped them out for the Kael drop shoulders to keep my hit rating up. Previously, I used the Violet Signet to keep the hit rating up, but Violet signet is so bad compared w/ Angelista's Revenge, and so giving up my S1 shoulders and their resil seemed worth it.

I have ~21000 honor that I COULD spend, but only if someone can think of something I didn't to drastically improve my PvP viability ...

Thanks!

Riding Crop?

You could consider to change your leg enchant to Nethercobra, though that would bring you under 10k health.

Vindicator's necklace might be better for PvP than the one from Shattered Sun, but I'm not sure about that. You could put +stats on chest and then use Vindicator's necklace to make up for the loss of resilience.

Battlemaster's Ap trinket and 2 min PvP trinket.

I thought about that a lot. I am definitely going to get Nethercobra on S4 pants as my first purchase in S4. However, due to my low HP and the fact that they have 12 agi on them, I'm going to stick to nethercleft for the moment.

I'd lose 18 agi, about 30 AP, as well as the proc which is 350 unmitigated damage that can crit for double. I was tempted to get the neck, but I just don't see it being worth it overall. I could be wrong.

Get +6 to stats on chest... I need to follow my own advice and do so as well. >_>

You can more then make up for the lost of Resilience by buying the new +45 Resi pvp trinket. That also make your entire pvp set purple, so you can stop being a blue wearing scrub =D

I'd get Nethercobra on my legs. Yeah, it'll take you below the magical '10k' health limit, but the offensive power is simply better imo.

I just put 6 stats on my chest right before I read this. I also replaced a 8 AP 4 crit gem w/ 8 agi.

I think I'm going to get that 45 resil trinket as it's just such a pure upgrade. It's a bit steep in terms of cost for someone who isn't maxed on Honor like all my friends who bought it yesterday and already made up a good % of it from their maxed token hand-ins :P Nevertheless, 25 resil with no trade-off is really, really good.

As for the legs, I think you're right.

If my friends' guild isn't running Sunwell tonight, they are going to run 3s w/ me. I think I might just have to go farm honor and then waste a ridiculous amount of money on Nethercleft :P

They are soooo going to make fun of me, though, for not having 10k HP ...

Replace that goddamn 8 crit gem. It's bad.

I'd put in a 16/20 AP gem, but that's just me.

I'd also pick up either BLB over the Battlemaster trinket. You don't need more HP with a druid, you need more damage.

Also, switch back to your OH mace and drop the 8 hit gem in your chest. Switch it to an 8 AP/4 crit gem to maintain socket bonus.

I seriously doubt you'll get hit much at all with that comp. They're either going to try and pain train your Druid or mitigate the hunter by sticking on him. Balls to resilience, balls to HP. I would seriously reccomend speccing Imp EA with 2x physical, but I have no experience of the comp at all so I don't know how much you split DPS. If it isn't that much then I maintain that it's a good idea.

P.S Should have rolled Human!
