Double the pvp power, half the weapon damage and 500 agi loss. Did you gain any dps? I guess this can only be beneficial to assa.

[OhhiimMvp]

So back to using SP as assassination? Great! More Poison power!

The amount of derpy in this thread is off the charts =/

[korzal]

would like to see some math on the dps loss/gains

i imagine burst would be higher due to bigger evisc/ambush numbers with the pvp power gain, but shadow blades would take a huge hit to dps

mutilate would take a bit hit to dmg so no

Derpy or trolling?

right on a stat comparison...

The caster dagger has 3094 more PvP power (11.67%) than the agi one.

Subtlety stat table
Agility 3.676
PvP Power: 3.092
Yellow Hit Rating 1.5306
Haste Rating   1.314
Expertise Rating 1.2664
Mastery Rating 1.1916
Crit Rating   1.1857

White Hit Rating   0.8136

using the stat weights for sub the agi dagger is a total value of 11542 AEP and the caster dagger is 19145.66 AEP.

This puts the caster dagger 7603.66 AEP infront of the agi one.

The caster dagger is also 1.6 opposed to 1.8 on the agi one.

however the caster dagger has half the dps and half the top end damage of the agi one.

So TLDR: equipping the caster dagger in the OH will give you 11.67% more pvp power, you will have a slight increase in poison procs due to it being 1.6 speed, Damage for hemo, backstab, rupture, evi and ambush will go up, you will see a decrease in white damage and shadow blades damage

What does it look like for muti?  Also do poisons take into consideration spell power?

1 point  : (AP * 0.112 + (400 * 1)) damage
(1.20 * (231 + 0.04 * AP)) * (21.4) (wound poison)

It doesn't affect enevenom or wound, can't find anything for deadly.

Even if it did scale off spell power, the ratio would have to be substantial to be worth the mute damage loss.


So far, I'm going to be picking the spellblade OH when I gear my rogue. White damage is so-so anyway.

Gonna gem full resil, and roll with that extra 11.6% pvp power. If all goes well, I'll have 65%~ish while being somewhat tanky, even for a rogue.

That's if I can finish gearing before the season ends rofl

Doesn't poison work on the new Proc per minute thing instead of weapon speed now?

1. After playing 30+ arenas last night, white dmg (melee) was overall my top1 dmg, so it is very important (with slice and dice 100% uptime).
2. Going full resi is barely noticeable... Rogue's survivability is so bad, that You will never experience staying alive in a situatuion You would normally die, just because You stacked resi.

Imo goin full resi is very noticeable. As a healer in a rogue team when my rogue went full resi (and i mean FULL 320 resi gems) it went from "omg they are goin on you i'm popping cds" to healing an almost "normal" class. He still randomly dies in stuns when feint fades but ehh i wouldn't expect anything else from a rogue.

The difference as far as I know is about 6%-7% resi... Without feint up Rogues get smashed by most of classes in 1 stun and somehow I can't see this few % dmg reduction more being game changing, but maybe I am wrong.

It's actually not just "a few %". It's like a 15-20% dmg reduction difference.

Looks like I had wrong calculations. Can You give us a link to any full resi Rogue?

yep sorry my bad,

Factoring in the agi loss by equipping the caster dagger in the OH will net you around 10% more damage on specials such as backstab, ambush and evi, basically its a 10% damage boost to your burst damage.

White damage will most likely decrease, I'm not sure how much the 10% pvp power gain will offset the loss but at half dps and wep damage I would imagine it would still be a loss.

so yeah 10% more damage on specials and burst with a loss on sustained white damage.

tbh though blizz never intended for rogues to OH a caster dagger, I wouldn't be suprised to see them changed to MH only shortly in the future

Its not a strict % damage reduction, by increasing your resil you are also increasing your effective health.
for example, you have 60.3% resil your effective health is 251.9%, by increasing your resil to 62.8% (2.5%) your effective health shoots up to 269.1%, a gain of 17.2%.

How resil interacts with effective health and pvp power is all explained in Eldacars guide here

So going sub and blowing something up in a CS > SHD will do us good if we use a Caster dagger, lol... I need to try this for the hell of it.
