No, I don't imagine it would be that big of a deal, but I enjoy being the best I can be, and that generally means understanding everything. If I can get 2-5 more DPS, why wouldn't I? If an item is better, there's no reason I shouldn't use it, right? This is a fair point, but that's why I asked if the ratios looked accurate in general. Obviously it's all going to change depending on the fight, your current gear, your group, etc. Stamina isn't very important on fights where you're not taking damage, but I don't really want to know the exact ratios for every fight or anything. I mostly wanted this for leveling purposes, anyway. There's enough people out there that can calculate what the 'best' item is at level 60, but very little (or zero) information exists about what is good before then.

That's what happens when you don't spend your points in Subtlety for Master of Deception. That's not a bug; it's not broken; that's simply how it is. If you were further back, you'd notice the mobs turn to face you. If you are closer than that, they don't bother turning to face you, they just attack. The likelihood is that you're simply closer than you think, their detection is better than you think, or your stealth is worse than you think. It is Blizzlike... for vanilla. As an aside, I find it funny how many people come onto the rogue forums and complain about things they think are broken because they don't actually know what it was like as a rogue in vanilla.

Slice and Dice is far better DPS than Eviscerate, however, Slice and Dice is a buff, so, fortunately, you can simply use Slice and Dice and Eviscerate. Is it worth using even if you don't raid? Yes. If you don't use Slice and Dice, you're a bad rogue. Keep it up 100% of the time. Only Eviscerate if you have 5 combo points and Slice and Dice up.

Swords are probably better while leveling. Dagger builds require an excess of crit to really be worth it. Until you're level 31-35, it doesn't matter what weapon type you use, so until that point, just use the weapon with the best DPS and stats. No. Never get rid of Sword Specialization. I definitely recommend getting the parry and Riposte. They are great for leveling. However, you could take points out of Improved Sprint and Aggression. Something like this: http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#f0efoZMhEk0Vzxbo Spend the remaining points where you think they are needed. I personally prefer to put points in Improved Poisons for the increased proc chance, because I use Slice and Dice far more often than I ever use Eviscerate, and I don't have much crit, so Lethality isn't very beneficial, especially while leveling.

1. Are you by chance receiving any action? Does this always happen, or only sometimes? 2. Your poisons are likely running out of charges. They do not last their full duration if the poisons proc enough. For example, Instant Poison has 40 charges and lasts 30 minutes. If you proc 40 charges of Instant Poison before 30 minutes, the buff will fade. 3. Um... They were responding to your third point, not your first. That is not a bug. When you switch targets, you lose your combo points, even if you don't use a builder on the new target.

I don't understand. Wouldn't this mean it's working fine? If the wand's damage is terrible, but the numbers are within the wand's damage range, wouldn't that imply it's working as intended, but the wand is terrible? The individual hits from a wand aren't going to do very significant damage. It's the quick rate of fire and zero mana cost that makes wands so effective. I'm not leveling a priest on this server, so I can't test this myself, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I don't imagine it's bugged or anything like that.

Thanks. I hope people find it useful!
