Hey guys, just giving a status update here:
I've been 80 for two days now. I did end up leveling to 80 as Combat, and it got better and better each level as I got decent gear, so it wasn't that painful at all. Was worse in outlands than it was in northrend, that's for sure. Anyway...Just a couple minor questions here:
Well first just saying that I want to stay Combat for PvE. I'm never going to be a very serious raider or anything, so I"ll be doing heroic spam and pug raids when I can, and I think Combat will be just fine for that. Right now 20/51/0, and it's serving me quite well.
In the last two days I've been spamming instances as much as I could, and I've gotten up to around... 3700-ish gearscore. Now I hate gear score, and I'm not advocating the use of that at all right now, (not like the gear score ****'s in trade chat use it anyway), but just giving you an idea of what my gear's like. Any idea how much dps I should be pulling with my given gear? If the gearscore doesn't give you a good picture, I still have some rag-tag ilevel 170-ish blues, but I've gotten my hands on quite a few epics lately. I also have two of those Hate Forge Cleaver axes (I think they're called...) from the last boss out of Halls of Reflection. I know that's not ideal having one in offhand because of slow speed, but I haven't gotten a quick good dps offhand yet, so I'm rocking out with two of them right now.
Anyway, with that gear and spec I'm usually 3k-3.5k dps. If there's more than two mobs I just try and keep up SnD and FoK spam, if not then it's just Keep SnD up and Evisc. on trash. On bosses I'll rupture if it'll get full duration.
Problems you can point out? Tips/Tricks? I'm still relatively new to Rogue, I'm just trying to do the best I can here and learn as much as possible as quick as possible.
Also, just got epic flying, so a little short on gold atm. What's the best cost-effective enchants for weapons, and then what's the ideal best? I've picked up Berserking/Berserking is best in PvP, same in PvE? Right now since I'm a tad poor I'm getting +26agi on weapons...might be a tad gimpy but meh.
Anyway just thought I'd say what's up and that I made it to 80 and thank you all for all the great advice. :D
