Pre-BiS list for Rogues (And other classes)

[Tholren 7]

All credit goes to the original post I found on the Nostalrius forums, I'm only reposting it here so it becomes a quickly available resource for Rogues on this forum.

Few issues with this list and it's not advisable to follow it to a tee.

First of all, Nagelring is garbage compared to Blackstone Ring or Painweaver Band. Those will be your two rings used for pre-raid.

 

Second, Dal'rend OH is ONLY a good offhand due to the 50AP from the set bonus. If you do not have the set bonus it is absolute garbage. Mirah's Song for swords is the best Offhand when you break the set bonus and ideally is the best offhand since nobody will really have, or use Hand of Edward the Odd.

 

As for boots, Swiftwalker's are actually better than Pads of the Dread Wolf but it's such a small difference it's not worth noting.

 

Cloudrunner Girdle is your best belt for dps, not Vosh'gajin.

Thanks for the extra insight

Isn't barmans shanker better than heartseeker and those green daggers? Or is that an updated item?

Barman Shanker would take a debuff slot = dps loss for raid and get quickly pushed off at that.   Only 3 more top end damage, but much lower dps so the % adjustment on ambush/backstab is negligible specially when factoring in the 1% crit and 4ap.
