BIS gear - Anathema

Recommended Posts

Hey! I have somewhat of an idea about what bis gear would look like with AQ gear.. But at some point you get up to +17-18 hit with spec. Is it worth changing cloak to "cloak of the fallen god" instead of "cloak of concentrated hatred" at this point? 

So. Does anyone have a list of bis gear for current anathema content?

I'll assume by his forum picture that OP is a horde rogue, but I still want to add nuances for alliance dagger rogues, considering they have Blessing of Kings (+10% stats) available. As long as you have both BoK and the Spirit of Zandalar buff (+15% stats) active, the following items become BiS:
                                                                                                        

Back: Cloak of the Fallen God > Cloak of Concentrated Hatred              

The raw stats of CFG multiplied by 1.25 make it as good if not better than Shroud of  Dominion, which is considered "BiS forever". Losing hit to gain crit (CFG's agility) is worth for  daggers, since you rely on "yellow hits" more than sword spec.

 

Wrist: Bloodfang Bracers > Qiraji Execution Bracers                                

The higher amount of agility on BB scales for higher crit chance, resulting in higher overall dps than the added strength on QEB.

 

Feet: Deathdealer's Boots > Boots of the Shadow Flame                         

Once again, the stats on DB scale at 1.25 (for a total of 51 AP) while the Attack Power on BSF (44) doesn't. The gained crit from base agility also overrides the loss of 1 hit.

 

Ring: Signet Ring of the Bronze Dragonflight > Master Dragonslayer's Ring            

24 base agility x1.25 scaling becomes 30 AP. Could seem low compared to the 48 AP from MDR, but take into account that 30 agi also means +1 crit.

 

Ranged : Crossbow of Imminent Doom > Striker's Mark                           

This one is definitely the closest of them all, with the crossbow winning by roughly 1 dps (negligeable). You will be punished from not having both BoK and Zandalar. I personnally still use the x-bow for the added stamina, which I find relevant as a melee dps.

 

I will not touch the sword spec as I have not tested it in-game, but I expect the same changes apply to it, for alliance that is.

Every gear slot from the list above that I haven't revisited in my post are already BiS according to my calculations; feel free to add to this and/or correct me!


Your fellow min-maxxer,
Hook

@Knife  I did specify at the start of my post that this was all regarding alliance dagger rogues with both ZG and BoK active.

AFAIK, only Deathdealer's Boots replaces Boots of the Shadow Flame for Horde, from the list that was stated above mine (and that is with ZG buff active only)

Knife, what is your opinion on the AQ20 3 piece?  That's what I've been using and I enjoy  it quite a bit.  And what is your preferred MH pre Sting/Pugio?
