Sno’s TBC Rogue Weapon DPS Cheatsheet
How was this data gathered?
These are rough dps numbers ‘simmed’ using the Garcia Rogue DPS Spreadsheet. You can download his spreadsheet here if you would like to get more customized data for yourself.
Settings used in spreadsheet:
- P1 BIS-ish gear + ideal-ish gemming as default with Vindicator’s Brand MH + Latro’s OH as a starting point
- Correct talent swaps were made for MH weapon swaps to fist or mace MH
- Expose armor forced (this assumes you are in a 1 rogue raid doing expose armor)
- Full raid buffs + consumables with ideal-ish group comp (aka. you have an enhance shaman and other group buffs/consumes)
- Sims were done as undead race. There may be some minor differences as human rogue but for TBC the difference is minor due to expertise not being as big a deal vs. weapon skill in classic
