  • Poor item design

    Posted on Tuesday March 11th, 2008 at 03:09 in guides, rogue, items, theorycraft

    Poor item design. Poor stat distribution on purpose or accidental? It's hard to say, but I'm sure many people have wondered why some items just suck so badly that nobody in the raid wants the item when it drops. Or some items with a vastly superior i...

    A small post on Crit and APWhile it's cool to get 4000 AP, it doesn't so much without crit or hit. And while it's cool to get 50% crit, if you only have 500 AP those crits won't hit very hard. Try to find a good balance in crit and attack power, or s...
